The NS Infantry Discussion Thread MkII*

You might want to have some sort of M72 LAW for the squaddie level rather than the CG knock off for the entire platoon.

Ah yea. I completely forgot about that.

As I understand it, in the real world M72 LAW and AT4 type weapons are issued more like munitions, rather than as standard equipment. The number issued to a squad depends on the type of mission.

I really want to name my disposable AT rocket, Light Anti Vehicle Armament. but I don't want to look like a 12 year old who tried to make it spell lava...... any alternative suggestions?

Don't feel bad. My vehicle upgrade scheme to modernize tanks and stuff (the equivalent of the Russian M designation) spells ELVIS.
So go for it.

At the very least, it allows squads to take out fortifications or light armored vehicles without the need to take the CG from its respective squad.

True enough,
I mean look at the MIM-104 "Phased Array Tracking Radar to Intercept On Target" Or *cough* Patriot

[Puzikas]

Thats nothing compared to the MIM-23 Hawk.

You know.
The "Homing All the Way Killer"

12 year old name

Went into PMG with the intention of making a new trench gun (shotgun), came out with some sort of WWI- or interwar-era LMG that feeds from snail drums. It's still a work in progress, I guess: I'm trying to figure out where to go and what to do with it. Does anyone see any mechanical flaws or things that are in need of adjustment?

You want to play word games? Go to F7

You want to discuss the topic at hand here? Keep posting

I highly suggest you stop confusing the two things.

Spooder and Corda, you both deserves warnings for that nonsense. ?Next time, you'll simply get bans instead.

Edit:

Both of you know better than that nonsense.

In fact, Corda, I promised you the next offense you make would result in no less than a one-day ban. Well, here we are, and, as a man of my word, here you go.

*** Three day ban ***

The next offense will more than likely result in the loss of this nation. Choose wisely when you return.

Spoder

Given your record, you can also have a *** one-day ban ***. You also need to start thinking about your posting habits, or you'll find yourself sans a nation as well.

Everyone else, get on the topic and stay on it.

I think I discussed and developed my armoured trench coat with Sev, I'm not really sure. But how heavy could my leather trench coat lined with Kevlar everywhere but the chest and torso, which are protected by MASS III equivalent, be? And what is a better material to use besides leather?

You talked about it with me. I believe the final weight was 30 pounds as a rough guess. you might want to use some form of wool or synthetic instead of leather for cheaper production and easier use in all weather.

I like it.

Tell me more.

Yeah, I was thinking that an all-weather material would be better. Any idea when it would be cost-effective/easy to make the switch from leather, or if I should even start with leather?

Looking at how the muzzle device lines up with the barrel and how it's ribbed, the bore is only a couple of millimeters wide.

Honestly it probably would have been a wool garment from the very beginning. Most military coats were wool before synthetics started taking over. You probably would transition to synthetic fibers around the 50s or the 60s.

I'll probably keep it just wool until it's changed to synthetic fibers, then I'll add the Kevlar equivalent. Thanks.

Mibbit disconnected itself. By the time I realized it, my friend was wanting me to go play Borderlands 2.

I really don't know much about it at this point. I figure it'd be a WWI- or interwar-era weapon, but I feel that the receiver is too blatantly Garand-esque for that. It's probably 7.62x54mmR, and it takes snail drums.

@Ford: I goofed on the muzzle device. Will fix.

Edit: Now with more lineart!

Maybe give it a standard box magazine too?

I'll attempt it.

Edit:
20-round magazine.

Also tried making the barrel bands narrower and reducing the overall barrel length. Does it look better this way?
