[OOC] Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

[KabenSaal]

Remnant did try to make themselves look really evil, and then proceeded to curb-stomp everything that came up with a bunch of children. Makes you think that the Hunters are plagued by vast inefficiency more than anything else. If they had a central command and where properly organized, then from what we have seen from the 1st years and Team Caffeine, Grimm would long since be a thing of the past.

It also releases highly toxic clouds of gas when it does so

@Agent B52

fire that only downwind when the rest of the team is riding outside the tank, would you please? :D

[harinezumikouken]

@Agent B52 - The convention thing was more along the lines of joking, but for acidic cloud rounds you have to be wary of 'friendly-fire'. Also, acid can't melt glass if I'm correct. There's something about it's molecular structure that makes glass extremely resistant against acid.

It makes me wonder: What the FUCK is out there that makes the world so dangerous? There is no way Nevermores and Deathstalkers have prevented society from expanding.

@MULTI_MEDIA_MAN

Its not the medium core monsters that are stopping things. Its the big mama's that are pumping out eighteen billion babies and fucking shit up due to being a million feet tall. That or nobody even knows what's out there. BEACON ACADEMY IS ACTUALLY A WAY OF CONTROLLING THE MASSES.

[paigesweetheart]

WHEN ISS this gonna move along?

[harinezumikouken]

WHEN ISS this gonna move along?

@paigesweetheart

When the fights are completed and posted.

[MULTI_MEDIA_MAN]

Sorry, my fight with Prince is....really taking a while. We only get about a message each to each other every night. It doesn't help that we never seem to be on at similar times. Ever.

[Tearstone]

I'm still waiting on NoBrain to figure out his edits, get them done in the collab, so I can post them Part of me wonders if he didn't quit.

It is still in the laboratory stage for a reason.

@harinezumikouken

This is the tame variant of what's in the shell: Hydrofluoric Acid vs a glass bulb. Note the part where the top half lets go and dissolves in a few seconds. What has Marcus all excited though, is way stronger (fluoroantimonic acid for those interested). Now I could of course go into depth about what makes it more unpleasant, toxic and all round dangerous but for practical purposes: SCIENCE! . Because melting faces is fun.

@Agent B52

Ah, so there are certain types of acid that can melt through anything then? EDIT: I fucking love Borderlands.

[Lugubrious]

Fluoroantimonic acid is absolutely nuts. It's so acidic that it will eat through hydrocarbons. I don't think there is any way to weaponize it without simply laying waste to everything in its path, including the user.

[Forsythe]

Well actually a canister shot with teflon lining on the inside would do, but should we delve into the pseudo science governed fantasy, I think if the problem is which material and what thickness to make the shell from to: a) be safe to handle b) survive the firing c) Crack on impact of a relatively soft target The only thing I have is using low velocity shell fired from a smoothbore gun, and most grimm will simply dodge that >_> Seriously, it would be simpler to mount a bloody laser xD Penny displayed quite well that a rather powerfull thing can be mounted in a small frame.

[Agent B52]

It's not that hard to design a shell that can withstand the recoil when it's fired and then crack when it hits something, High Explosive Anti Tank springs to mind. Regardless I repeat: This is still in the experimental stage for a good reason. Besides I want to save the truly bonkers designs for the third semester and onwards.

[Sho Minazuki]

I haven't PM'd Aurellius' player yet. I think I should. Who was it again...?

@Agent B52

True, I'm sure once the plot moves along and gets more serious everyone will be going through 'upgrades'. Have you considered a Sabot tank round?

@Lugubrious

Then, what is it contained in?

@harinezumikouken

PTFE, aka Teflon.

@harinezumikouken

I have, it's gonna be a second semester upgrade I think. Should I add what Marcus has right now to his CS? I still have to edit in his picture anyway. Would look something like this:

Current shell inventory:

• High Explosive Anti Tank (HEAT): A general purpose round that explodes in a specific way to pierce through armour. Good for most things though it specialises in knocking out heavily armoured targets at long range.
• Canister: Turns the cannon into a giant shotgun. Excellent for crowds of beowulfs and the like.
• Incendiary (HEI): Special explosive shell that spreads around white phosphorous on impact. This is what killed the Datura in the introduction. Usually for crowd control work when canister doesn't have the range.
• Armour Piercing (AP): Bog standard big heavy bullet. At short to middle ranges it pierces armour better than HEAT, and unlike HEAT it can batter through walls, trees, light buildings and other soft cover to reach it's target.
• High Explosive (HE): Tiny little organ parts for everyone! Not good versus anything with armour.

[Forsythe]

Well if you do sabot shells, don't forget HEDS against the fliers :P
