You've never witnessed the BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT, have you?

It is a life-changing spectacle. The thing that gets shot is dead before you hear the BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT. There is no warning. There is only a message left carved in the heavens.

You're seriously underestimating the BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT.

One bullet leaves the barrel with 150,000 Joules of energy. A 250-pound person tackling you at 20 mph has about 4,500 Joules.

One does not simply ignore the BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT.

You don't understand, this is the A-10 Thunderbolt:



When designing this plane, they did not create the plane and then think what gun to equip it with, they designed the GAU-8 Avenger and thought what the Hell kind of aircraft could wield this beast of death machine. THE JET WAS BUILT AROUND THE GUN!

I gotta give this one to the manticore - I doubt the gun could kill the manticore.

If that's true than nothing short of a nuke would be able to kill it then, which is definitely overkill.

Oh it just usually seems like conventional gunfire is wholly inefficiant against Grimm. But thinking back on it Coco's chain gun does seem to make short work of a nevermore. Manticore does seem to be a class above though so i dunno.

My guess is that Coco uses 5mm rounds and that thing tore through Nevermores and Death Stalkers. The Avenger uses 30mm rounds, making them 6x larger, and it also has a exponentially faster firing rate so it would most definitely do more damage. Here's a picture of a single 30mm round just for scale:

Depends on which you think is more durable— the Manticore or a T-62's front armor.

Hey really weird question. In a world in which a kingdom does not have a monetary currency and everything is paid for with barter or favors what exactly would a monarch give a bounty hunter for bringing in a fugitive?

How the hell did a barter economy survive long enough that there was a centralised state utilising it while instituting a bounty system?

Barter economies are horribly inefficient.

But to put it simply: whatever the hell the monarch wants to give the hunter. He's the big boss, after all.

It evolved by virtue of a GM who doesn't listen to anyone else's opinion and summons up a shit storm when anyone but him answers basic questions (like how many characters are in the roleplay) to possible applicants.

I would fight him on it but honestly this is one of a long list of things that only sort of make sense in the roleplay and he can't seem to explain adequately but won't change anyways.

I ask because my character just delivered a fugitive and I'm fairly positive the guy playing the ruler is about six hours away from asking what he should be rewarding me with since there is no money. (Six hours being around when he will be getting up)

Also while I'm typing this I'm hearing my post in the voice of the Honest Trailers guy.

A house.

After all, a bounty is a life, and lives are lived in houses, thus a house is of equal value to a life.

And thus the problem with a barter economy as while that might have some value to certain people it would mean pretty much nothing more than what she could sell it for as my character is a wanderer and generally hated by everyone.

The value of an item is subjective, the value of cash is not.

If the king dood isn't a broke fuckr, you'll likely just get some additional weapons and arms, maybe access to a unique service or something. Currency don't an shite in a bartering society if there nothing backing it, unless king dood is trying to promote his coin that no one is using.

Free accommodation at inns across the kingdom?

Actually, how the hell do you pay for accommodation?

Like, ignoring the fact that a barter economy managed to establish a kingdom-type political entity in the first place, do you have to give innkeepers a chicken every time you want to stay a night? Like, because one chicken = dinner and board?

Such is the inefficiency of a barter economy on grand scale.
