IRHA with Titanium diboride in the composites, modular armour layout, nERA blocks, IRHA and interstial Titanium Carbide for the structural armour, and an all welded steel monocoque hull and turret (at least, in the Yrdentsyr tank).

I know how to do it. But I'm principled against selling armour because there're already enough people doing that competently.

Have you tried designing your own weapons?

What about anti-infantry? I could use a break open 4 gauge to take out entire infantry squads before closing into melee combat.

Oh, wait, you hate multi-barrels.

That is anti-infantry.

Disposable rocket launchers firing LOSATs for AT.

Volley fire gatling guns firing 20x102mm NATO for AA.

That last part was the demon flying away.

Swords are girly compared to such brutes.Try a 15 foot long battle axe with a 25 pound double bitten head.

I was always sketchy when it came to shotgun gauge, but doesn't 4 gauge mean that there are just 4 really large pieces of shot in a shell?

Gauge is the weight of a lead ball in the barrel, a 4 gauge shotgun can fit a 4 oz lead ball in its barrel, a 16 gauge shotgun a 1 oz lead ball, a 1 gauge, a 16 oz lead ball. So a 4 gauge can fit a lead ball weighing 1/4th of a pound, a 12 gauge, a ball weighing 1/12th of a pound.

So, does a 4 gauge fit 4 1/4lbs pieces of shot, and a 16 gauge 16 1/6lbs pieces of shot?

It was ages since I read up on it, and I was massively confused when I walked away.

The simplest ultra-compact armor-piercing bullpup you'll find on the market to ever pass muster in NS-Draftroom as a rifle capable of shooting holes into a Gundam Mobile-Suit.

Just litterally wave your arm at the target and squeeze the trigger, problem solved!

No safeties or fire-selectors to worry about, just retract the bolt, open the dust cover and you're good to go for semi-auto and fully-auto based on how hard you pull the trigger.

It's simply amazing!

BTW, grenade-launcher is fitted alongside the gun to be operated by the rear supporting-hand.

So do yourself a favor, get something that has withstood the test of time, pick up a Hurty and "Hurt em plenty" with it.

But don't take our word for it, take the words of the deleted trolls heaping praise on this glorious machine!

"I think his numbers and pic actually look very comfortable for a bullpup--andi fucking hate bullpups."

"Why put the other hand in front--you ever see a tactical reload on the AK performed?"

"This bullpup actually looks capable of competent tactical reload something I have never seen any bullpup remotely make possible."

"With the pistol grip so far forward the stock butted to the shoulder this would allow for immense single arm control--you want two hands to steady the weapon? brace your grip with a cupped palm. This would then allow one to not take the weapon from firing position to reload the weapon---I say it looks good. "

BTW: as noted, these things were meant to operate in the harsh winter climates associated with DMG by untrained simians, hence the lack of a trigger-gaurd as it was widely believed their fingers would fall-off from frostbite after only 5 days of fighting.

Alternately, this rifle can be used by limp-wristed armless child-conscript soldiers with speech impediments.
