Im still all for a flamer, would let us hold out taking on the plains and in the trenches, and would give us a great advantage in the jungle.I believe this is actually a good idea as well, and then we use our revision phase to squash any problems that come up with the flamethrower or revise the horsekiller for improved accuracy.
Trying to take rifle ammo, carried in single bullets, and loading it into a machine gun would never work.Twas one of those things called jokes. :v
Not just that but keeping our main weapon at .60 caliber makes our logistics far simpler since both the Horse Killer and Horsekiller Carbine, and the Stallion all use .60 caliber ammo. Running low on ammo for the main rifle? Shift over some rounds from the Stallion. Running low on the Stallion? Shift rounds from the infantrymen over..60 caliber rifles are unneeded. Too much recoil, too heavy, and the stopping power isn't really needed when a 30 will kill a soldier anyway. Again, as for artillery, we should design something we can actually use. A small howitzer isn't worth much if you only have a couple per battle.True, think of the morale impact of seeing your buddy hit by a .60 though
We shouldn't make artillery yet. We don't have the ore, so it'll almost certainly be Very Expensive, and it would be much more useful to replace the outdated, inaccurate rifles we're using.In my opinion artillery is a better option than making a rifle that is going to have far less firepower than our current ones. We'd be better served creating a new version of the Horsekiller that's more accurate than creating an entirely new 30 caliber rifle if you want to make a rifle. However in terms of the use of artillery one front heavily involves trenches, and now we've been pushed to buildings. Artillery helps make short work of people hiding in both of those.
Okay, given the current circumstances, I think we may need to hold back on the car/truck idea until we regain the lost territory in the open fields, for that I propose that we start developing artillery.+1
Bombardier: a 3.6 Calibre howitzer generally designed as the 'workhorse' of our artillery. Whilst horse-drawn the range of the guns should render any mobility issues irrelevant as dirty arstotzkans are blown to smithereens. The gun itself shouldn't be too complex, given that it's basically a rifled tube on a gun carriage that shoots really large shells with lots of explosives to kill cowardly arstotzkans hiding in ditches.
I'm joking of course.Transmute the iron in Lef's blood AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAAAA.[1] Your head explodes as a perfect steel ingot forms in its place.Spoiler: Disclaimer (click to show/hide)
((Did you actually make this happen or are you messing with us?))

"Don't you fucking punch anyone," Ryan broadcasts publicly, staring at ((adwarf)).
Wait for command.
over the radio, quietly: "If it's the police, don't attack. remember, Steve said getting arrested is possible, and we'd likely be put in a sweatshop as illegal immigrants. The plan will not be seriously compromised. If we attack the police, we're gonna either die or put a big target on our heads. The plan will be severely compromised."Okay, okay fine. I'll look first, if its the police then I won't punch them ... probably."
Same goes for organized crime, come to think of it, unless they are already hostile. As in, threatening immediate death, not as in 'don't like us very much.'"
.30 caliber HMG is for babies :v .60 caliber for great glory so that we turn our would-be foes into tiny bits.All for making it .30 NOW, but would want another vote+1 to the M1 Stallion.+1 from me for the M1 Stallion as well. Though I'd have preferred to design it in 30 caliber size... oh well.
Doing some research...Major things of import related to the Doctor: The 'Coordinates', 'Phobetor' who I must add was the reason the Doc got executed in the first place, and 'VonNost'.
I think it's a vigenere cypher. Fuck me.
