Because instead of going "Bang" it goes fucking "BAANG". And usually, means it hits harder, even if it screws the barrel with those rounds.

Oh wow, that's pretty awesome, actually- the Mk16 is a pretty sweet weapon, and whilst Merlin's SCAR-H is different, it is it's brother in that weapons family. I'd love to shoot some guns one day if I ever visit 'Merica.

Hey, if you're ever in the East Coast area of the states hit me up! I'll take you out and shoot some gats! :]

'Merica.

Actually, it's 'MURICA-complete with the kind of effort that you give when the poop gets stuck on its way out.

Then you're pronouncing it right.

Obviously Konrad will go to the best coast

@WilsonTurnerThat's comedy gold right there.

Obviously Konrad will go to the best coast

Ain't no coast like the Texan coast

@Rain I wanna shoot gats toooooooo.

Damn you, money, damn you.

Guess I'll settle for occasionally renting a Glock at the nearby range.

Haha, @Monochromatic Rainbow I welcome all to the Gattening.

We have a personal ocean.

What's better? An ocean everyone owns, or a personal ocean? :DD

Except we let plenty of people in to our personal ocean!
Still plenty notlonely!

Finally got my character sheet finished - sorry it took so long, but I'm pleased with the result. I'm hoping my character will be the one who can talk to everyone, and be more of a face and personality for the group to bring us together.

Re: firing guns, I had the experience a few months ago of going to an open day at my local shooting club, as a friend of mine is on the staff there. I got to fire a lever-action .38 carbine and a .22 semi-auto HK416. Both of which were great fun.

Hurrah.

The opening to this RP is something I have worked out, it's going to be pretty strong stuff- it begins around Tuesday, and I will post one last OOC post at that time, which I will want people to like as a last-call. The Prologue, "Echolocation" is not going to be more than three-four pages long, though this is a huge exception to how future parts will be worked out, of course, and will not heavily feature mission planning or co-ordination, aiming to really throw the RP straight to the point, while of course offering some idea of what the RP is like in the long term. All I can say about it is that your operators are all going to need desert fatigues...and some earplugs.

I will begin liking CSes I think are good to go for the RP, and I'm going to start working on helping people that have CSes that are lacking in places, or may still need some work via PM. This isn't the majority of you, but one or two, with a little work can bring up your CSes. I should also mention, I know, some CSes aren't finished- these CSes may get a like merely because I know that the rest is going to be likely just housework, such as history or tidbits of equipment, and I would expect it to be finished at some point.

I just heard "Be like the Canadians and bring all your woodlands to the desert."

Echo, I am liking that character. The HK416C doesn't see nearly enough use as it should.

One idea that I am punting now, and it's a really curious one, is that of a provisional loadout, either a breacher or explosives specialist in particular that could be using a heavier loadout of armor than usual. As in, think the Demolitions from MoH- reinforced ballistic helmet, blast armor, nothing overbearing (it's not a fucking EOD suit to start with), but this:



This isn't someone who runs round in streets shooting at people like some God (Big, keep your trap shut here), but basically gives them additional explosives and ballistic protection because they're involved with breaching or uhh, explosives. It's there as a passive protection, so that if the first thing they do run into is a shotgun, they won't be blown apart, or at least, the chance of grievous wounds are far reduced. The way I am proposing it is not someone makes a character centered around that build- but for example, will be something given to one or two characters on a "loud" operation, where the team is involved in particularly heavy operations, while on stealth they'd be with regular kit.

I volunteer. Fits Dima's makeup perfectly. He already has the ballistic breaching shield and breachers kit to compliment the idea.

Funny you mention that. In MoH, I remember that was the "Western" look, while the Russians had a really sort of Eastern-Bloc look, a different ballistic mask in particular. It wouldn't be a constantly-on thing, I would want it to be only employed on occasions where it made practical sense.

Same goes for CBRN stuff- I know that Mono and Big's characters are both pretty heavy on that stuff, and it's even a part of their fatigues in some way, with it being sterilized and CBRN-ready. I will say it actually in the same context as the bulking-up- they'll only be using it where it makes practical sense to do so, where it may be that they need a dedicated supply of CBRN is required and it so happens that they've got full combat fatigues beyond their regular cleansed and neutered gear that are capable of that.

The most common application of this idea I see is during a per-planned and executed raid with a hyper-focused objective in mind. No knock-knock raids, no prolonged MOUT engagements. More along the tune of Hostage situation, POW recovery, snatch and grab, HVT elimination sorts of tasks. The kit would go so well as a supplement for Dima's High Risk/Dyamic Entry loadout. Absolutely meshes with the equipment.
