Something has come up on my end. I don't think I'm going to be able to commit to playing in this rp, unfortunately, so I'll have to bow out.
Best of luck to everyone though.

If you guys would like, I can make a short list of commonly made weapons in the Tube. Basically handmade guns that you could find a lot of people using, due to them being manufactured by gunsmiths throughout the Tube.
Whatever your imagination can cook up, as both Treue and I seem to be going for handmade stuff rather than pre war gear. That would include what the army had at that point (L85 assault rifle and its MG counterpart the L86, SIG Sauer P226 pistol) or various pistols (Glock 17, Glock 26) used by armed police officers. Benelli M4 and Remington 870 are (and were in 2013) used by the army and police respectively for breaching if you want to go with a shotgun. Some officers (such as Downing Street guards) use(d) MP-5 submachine guns. This site might help.
As we're going AU, that might change if Treue feels like it. Or maybe you could create a pre war weapon that doesn't exist, like the AK-2012 abomination from the games.
Also: In both books and games, Moscow was initially in contact with other people before the jammers were built (I recall nuclear subs being mentioned, but maybe other cities as well). Is London in touch ith anyone else and if so, how widespread is that knowledge?
You're right about aquatic mutants. If I was a fish living in the Thames, I wouldn't need radiation to grow legs so I could get out of that dump. :)
Just because there wasn't a strong communist base at the time of the war doesn't mean the circumstances in the tunnels couldn't create it. I can't wait to see what factions we'll up with.
Anyone got ideas for characters yet?
