ITT: People literally cannot understand the fact that someone can't be nominated more than once

Why not? Worst thing that happens is that who ever is searching has to read two posts about the same guy. Best case is that a nomination that might have been missed ends up being seen due to extra copies. Either way, we ain't exactly going to be loosing money for the extra posts.

I tmeans your nomination is pointless. You could have used that wasted nomination to nominate someone else, like LG or Max Barry or whatever.

[Padnak]

This is my nomination, there are many like it but this one is mine: Puzikas

[Imperializt Russia]

Or Samoz or whatever.

[Fordorsia]

Or Samoz or whatever.

Or Ford. I hear I'm pretty good at formatting OPs and shit

pls count this as a vote and also count it 3x

If the worst thing you did by taking an action was to achieve nothing than that's not a bad action to take. And frankly it's not worth stressing out over. So chill dude.

Oh stop trolling for nominations. You don't see me doing it and I have never been nominated.

Nominate me and I'll get you ice cream

[The Archangel Conglomerate]

This is my nomination, there are many like it but this one is mine: The Archangel Conglomerate

I. . . honestly don't know what to say. Thank you, Samoz.

On that note, I'd like to thank everyone who voted for me in the MK.II*

On a completely different note, I find myself wanting to design a mech(a?). Rather odd since I've harbored a strong dislike of such things for several years now.

It wouldn't be all that big. Probably three meters tall, maybe half that in width. I'd imagine it to be at or below five tonnes. Armament would consist of a beefier version of the standard infantry geweer (which is not but a rifle-ized version of this) and a low velocity 30mm - 40mm cannon. Armour would also be reasonably light, being meant only to defeat small arms and the like.

Is it worn like armour, or does the operator sit in a cockpit?

This is the fundamental difference between power armour and a mecha.

So, like those gorram things from Avatar without the cripplingly ineffective windshield?

None of the above. It'd be a robot like the rest of the infantry. I'd honestly assumed "mecha" covered those as well.

I refuse to accept this is not a nomination for me.

Puz can comment with authority on that weapon, I have nought but opinion.

Idk I might just give you a breakdown of what I liked and what I didn't about it.

Ahhh, Robits.

Well then it's just a very large robot. At three meters you've more or less hit the limit on an 'effective' size. A three meter tall robot can still crouch behind a house, or a low wall, etc. Any larger and the power pack/source/engine is going to have to start being exponentially larger to move the thing, as per the square cube law.

I remember seeing not long ago in this very thread some sort of low-velocity man-portable 30mm gun on a tripod/truck. I'm sure such a weapon couldn't topple a three meter tall, five-ton robot soldier.

Idk I might just give you a breakdown of what I liked and what I didn't about it.

I heard it was a bitch to keep maintained, and was complex enough that it never entered full-scale production. That's about it.
I also hate it in Battlefield, but that's a different story.

The list of regulars who haven't had a thread is becoming remarkably short.
Whyever not?

[Aqizithiuda]

Question: square or circular military camps?

Circular.

Don't do the Soviet thing for the love of god.


This is my nomination, there are many like it but this one is mine: Mofucking Nirvash

What's the Soviet thing?

So to hop on a multi-page old topic, would the G11's absurd three-round burst ability be in any way feasible with something larger than 4.7mm? I'm thinking some sort of weird DMR style weapon, but I'm wondering if the shooter feels the recoil of all three rounds once the cycle is completed.

I am unsure on whom to nominate. It'll probably be either Puz or Spree though.

The user feels the full recoil from all three rounds at the end of the cycle. If you look at some of the videos of it firing bursts, you can see just how much recoil there is.

Dang nabbit.

Would the recoil from a trio of 7.62x51mm rounds near simultaneously be comparable to say, a NTW-20 firing? I've already got quite a few not!NTW-20's in my arsenal, then again, why bother shooting three 7mm rounds if you can also hit 'em with one 20mm.

Damnit practicality you ruin all my fun.

I'm not sure, but it would likely be over the pain threshold.

This may be slightly over 7.92x57mm IS levels of recoil.

I dunno, if you design the recoil system properly, you get the energy delayed over a longer amount of time. Doing that, you can safely fire a non-recoilless 76mm shoulder mortar without having your arm torn off.

Well, for one thing, closeted homosexuals who did a lot of heroin.

[Imperializt Russia]

They did other things too.
Like brutally haze conscripts and keep pigs.

To be fair, the same can be said for. . .
*checks report*
Ah, every other light armoured vehicle.

Also, everything proof shield, bitch!

[Imperializt Russia]

One of my favourite inexplicable phrases that just pop into my head from time to time, "engaging with autocannon".

As far as phrases go, that is pretty decent. No match for an everything proof shield though.
