I'll work on something today

There, it's a bit on the short side but, will move us along. Wasn't sure about projectile weapons or energy/pulse, but decided on projectile. Hope it works

Purely for flavor's sake but I'm guessing 7.62 and 25 rounds in a mag?

I'll probably be adding the types of weapons used by the Human military, but I can tell you that the standard issue rifle is semi-auto, fifteen rounds, and chambered 7.62mm FMJ.

Also, the standard issue pistol is given to people who achieve a rank past grunt, and carries 10 rounds of 5.7 FMJ.

Also, keep in mind that a lot of technology has been lost, and Humanity is stuck in a sort of dark age, so the guns won't be as futuristic as you would think, unless we get access to alien technology.

I've always been partial to the fn p90 It has this 'alien' or 'futuristic' look to it... or it did before SG-1 popularized it. Other than that I've always been a fan of the h&k g36, even have an airsoft replica

Those are some tinyass mags, 5.7mm is smaller than a 9mm and one of the selling points of the Five-seven is 20 round mags standard and 30 extended, which is awesome for a handgun.

Personally, I'm partial to bullpup weapons. Those look badass.

I think that's the point. Standard battle rattle is 6 mags of 25 rounds but we're only getting 15 and I'm assuming just the one so we need to back off the firing line to re-up. Can't be a lot of resources since the mining just started yesterday and I doubt we space taxi'd enough rounds to waste handing full mags to someone who's just gonna eat lead when the Bulwark get here. We're given just enough ammo to do our jobs, anything more is a waste of gear.

Quick question, how long is boot camp? I'm going with a month because of urgency but I'm basing it off of Marine doctrine because that's what I know best.

Canadians like guns, we just don't worry about ever needing them for anything past sport or the impending return of Moosifer.

Man after my own heart. If they had less creepy triggers, they'd be my absolute favorite layout.

Especially looking at HK stuff, egads.

Which is a fair point; personally, I'd rather top up fewer mags with limited rounds than spread them across several.

Someone should fire the supply officer.

@Corporal Lance Due to the immediate need of new troops, and the desperate situation at hand, conscripts are given two weeks to mainly learn about drills and chain of command; following orders basically, as well as minimal combat training consisting of how to fire and reload one's weapon, as well as the general strategies of how to fight the aliens that make up the Bulwark.

Sorry, since this is one of my first times GMing, I want to see how many players I can handle writing for first before letting any more in.

2 weeks? Dayum. That's, like, shorter than a trip to range qual. You couldn't even learn to shoot a weapon in that time.

@Corporal Lance Yeah, and since the army keeps losing troops due to this inadequate training, they need to constantly replace the ones that are dead or critically injured just as fast, or else risk a breach in defenses.
