I wish you the best of luck in the endevor I suppose.
Anyways I haven't given up doing that post on hot to into terminal ballistics. I just recently discovered how much fun modding Skyrim is, been working awful shifts, and, well, been lazy. It'll be done around the time Samoz makes a storefront.

Pretty much, but I fucking hate tablets. My job started going "paperless" a few years ago and ive had to carry the shitty thing with me around work for some time.
Which is why I want it mounted on my forearm in a nice 12cmx30cm display landscape or something
Will a 5x12" display even fit on your forearm?
Well, your forearms maybe, but a Johnny Average like myself? Sounds cumbersome. Moreso than carrying the thing.

It would protrude a bit, but not enough to be much of an annoyance for the clerical andor uninvolved care work that is done at my ob. In the military application though its horrid.
I may have overestimated the scale of my forearm to other peoples forearms; I sometimes forget I have proto-gorilla length arms.
But people should get bigger forearms.

What mitigates basically all of these? Carrying a legit iPad.
Eh. I'm partial to the idea of a convenient PDA like device for NCOs and unit commands, having it mounted on the non-dominate position makes sense, but not in an MT setting really, since its liable to break. You'd need strong materials, touchscreens, self healing glass, ect. in order to actually make it practical. All of these are totally possible now, just very expensive and cost-prohibitive in a sense.
In the year 2030 though, who knows.

Now, I don't know what caliber this thing would be in, but it's probably one of the few firearms that can't be improved by rechambering it to 7.92x57mm IS. My best guess would be ~31-caliber ball, though.
Art could benefit from a rehaul.

Kind of reminds me of the US M1917 revolver.
The necessity of a navy, in the restricted sense of the word, springs, therefore, from the existence of a peaceful shipping, and disappears with it, except in the case of a nation which has aggressive tendencies, and keeps up a navy merely as a branch of the military establishment. 1

I just honestly think a full-size, full-capability tablet will be more useful.
But I've got, you know, maps and radios for that stuff.Imperializt Russia wrote:Maps, radio, orders, fire control (of supporting arms).
I don't see it adding a great deal of utility, but the major reason the air force (and commercial airlines) started introducing tablets was to cut down on paper charts. It's of greater utility to pilots and aircrew where there is a lot of information, much of it visual, that does need to be kept track of.

I think the 5.56mm that the M16 was originally chambered in.
EDIT: I'm thinking military rounds here, so the 2mm Kolibri doesn't count.
