Is it reasonable to give each squad leader teh under-barrel grenade launcher?

Short Answer, No.

Scratch that, misread it as each squad member.....

I'd say that one per squad is a bit too low.

However, according to Ardchoille, it is a thread where you go to look at pictures of guns.

Playgun daily

Anyway, I figured that I could retool the naval infantry and rename the branch so it sounds less...something.

Ideas?

Just keep naval infantry. It's what they are.

Give your standard riflemen launchers.

Amphibious asaualt infantry corp

This is actually the best one out of the bunch.
Bonus points for trying though.

Oddly enough I don't actually have any naval infantry/marines in my military.
Naval vessels have dedicated crewmembers trained in Damage and fire control as well as small arms combat. They are in charge of defending vessels and landing parties. (all naval crewmen are trained in small arms combat, they just receive greater training)

As for amphibious assaults I have general assault infantry, which are trained for amphibious, airborne, and heliborne insertion and combat, their analogs RL would most accurately be a combination of the rangers and the USMC (sadly the entire force is less than 6 Infantry brigades in strength)

What kind of scope magnification could I expect to place on an integrally-suppressed sniping rifle firing subsonic 10.42 x 45 mm loads?

I'm going for a PSO-1 style reticule on this one, just to mention.

yes I'd go with yes

hey look a PSO-1 on the RL weapon singularly most like yours.

What magnification, though? The VSS is nothing of a "sniping rifle" as I mentioned, so it can't make the 500+ meter shots like I'm trying to push out of my mad creation.

not sure what wiki is citing but it claims 600m while world guns claims 300-400m take that how you will
also it's a PSO-1 a 4X optic which is what you should use. 500M is't necessarily "sniper" range more of marksman range.

I've never seen a modern precision optic with less than 6X magnification. Heck, my friend even uses 6X on his AR-15 when shooting out to 500 meters at steel plates (hard to hear the ringing, though).

EDIT: VKS also uses a 6X optic. I'm guessing that's the way to go.

Give him a carbine or submachine gun.

Everyone else gets rifle grenades.

SDM-R uses a trijicon ACOG 4X32 typically.
SVD is modern enough still uses PSO-1
all I'm saying is that a 6X optic is not Nessecary, and that a 4X optic is more than sufficient.
a subsonic integrally suppressed rifle isn't going to be all the effective past 500m anyways.only Rl example is the VSS It's employed more along the lines of a marksman rifle RL and is used by the most special of forces IIRC

The VKS appears to be precisely what I am after for this.

The Naval infantry also acts as a expeditionary force.

But I I have a theme in naming my "special" banches, it usually involves something from mythology.

have a mythological name as well as a practical one.
take a cue from US AFV's for example M3 Bradley CFV, want to call it a Bradley? okay, want to call it a M3 CFV that's okay too.

I sort of did the same thing with my service rifles for a while. I had CR-M Asp, Combat rifle, Modular (all such Naming systems have been retconned out though in favor of new things)

[Nua Corda]

The most heavily armed duty cop I've ever seen stopped by work today. Dude had a USP-45 and what I swear was a three-gun competition belt with eight magazines in it.

[Mozria]

I pretty much just came in here asking for advice and then shot it all down. That was a jerk move on my part, and I apologize.

The cops here started carrying a second duty pistol about a year ago, cause apparently, fuck reloading.

And no, this does not count as the backup they already carry in a pocket or ankle holster.

That's a little bit weird.
just give in and carry a semi-auto MP5 or MX4 or some other Pistol caliber carbine.

On a new topic, I would like to discus anti-ship cannons vs Anti-ship missiles vs Anti-ship Lasers. I would assume that cannons would be simpler since you could carry more ammo however the pitch of a ship on the high seas might ruin their aim. Missiles don't have those problems and they are longer ranged. That being said, I don't think you could carry a vast amount of Missiles on board your ship with warheads that big enough to do a decent amount of damage. Lasers would hit instantly but would need a lot of energy and battery. This would force the ship to be massive just for one laser.

It's done, IIRC, by the USMC, but I've heard that it prevents the leader from doing both his roles (leader and grenadier) effectively.

The modern world disagrees with you, and find that you can carry more than enough AShMs that can kill ships. Cannons are far too short ranged compared to missiles, but longer ranged (although less accurate) than lasers.

Lasers, well, I'm not big on Longsword sized ships whose main weapon only has a range of twenty kilometres or so.
