A Fordorsian's killing ability is greatest against the enemy that is closest. True, as time goes on hand to hand combat becomes less and less common and effective, but try and picture an island were crazy sub-Humans swarm over your city wall every other week in the early 20th century. You have to be semi-badass just to survive the cold.

In the Fordorsian universe, badassery in warfare is not measured by your gun's efficiency, but by how many things you can kill with your fists. Fordorsia is also BFF's with Ulfr. A nation of Nords whose badassery goes without saying. What it do? You wanna go, m8?


You don't understand.

There's a thin line between being a badass, and being a just another wanker. Which side of that line a person falls on is dependent on RPing ability, and most of all humility.
So, basically the difference between Batman and Iron Man?

It's basically just a de-CTA'd of my 6.2x40 CT round


I'd give it an extra 5mm of case length.

Until I find more out about the GMS propellants, a cartridge capable of holding 20-25gr of powder and having even more theoretical capacity is what I'll recommend, based on Prem's goals for the round.

Goddamn.. I only carry 39+1 rounds of ammunition for my sidearm(Glock 32). Plus, my Designated Marksman Rifle(Savage BA110 .300 Winchester Magnum). Which, I have two magazines(12 rounds) for and keep in my patrol vehicle. I do not get a Patrol Carbine or Shotgun now since I was issued the BA110's. :palm:

I am, but then again I only engage out to 200-300 yards maximum and I set up a hide when I do get called out. I took a lot of my experience from Iraq and Afghanistan as a Precision Marksman and helped advise and train my Agencies Sniper/DM Teams to the standards I use/used when deployed.

Well, sort of. I've always preferred Batman personally, but Ironman qualifies as well. What gives him the right to brag, even if it makes him look like a douche, is the fact that he can actually back it up in a world where most people can't. On an online forum like nationstates, where you can do pretty much whatever the hell you want, be pretty much whatever the hell you want, Having the ability is irrelevant, since anybody can. It's how you conduct yourself that matters. The key to not being a wanker is a combination of selecting traits that are both realistic for your setting and not overly Mary Sue-esque, and being able to play those traits in a manner that makes it perfectly clear that you are not all-powerful, that you have weaknesses and moral shortcomings, and are prepared to allow them to be exploited. Coupled with OOC humility.

Basically, don't be a wanker, and don't sing your own praises. If they make for a song worth hearing, others will.

Exactly. Just look at Purpelia. On the surface it's a land of oversexed, under-selfcontrolling people who live in a communist feudalism and prefer their leaders absolutist and decadent.* A land of people who calls their nuclear forces Smurfs and whose main IFV is called Gargamel. I am not even trying to make them look anything like badass**. Oh, and by the way. This is the nation whose army are often refereed to as the nicest and most polite total psychopaths you are ever going to meet.


* Yes, the arch dukes actually have to be decadent or else their image in the public eye suffers as they are seen as the worst thing a Purpelian noble can be seen as. That being boring/a square.
** Than again it's not like I am sane or anything.
Purpelia does not reflect my actual world views. In fact, the vast majority of Purpelian cannon is meant to shock and thus deliberately insane. I just like playing with the idea of a country of madmen utterly convinced that everyone else are the barbarians. So play along or not but don't ever think it's for real.

County SWAT Team Designated Marksman - the Sniper Team is even harder to get onto, because there are only eight positions available. I still am a Precision Marksman in the Army National Guard - among other things.

Perhaps in later adaptations, for the moment I think I'm just going to leave it in the realm of a 15/30 round box mag.

I do try my best to keep my designs fresh and hip.
