Well I've got one of those down.

You can call me Mr. Barbiturate.

Are SEALs classified as Frogmen? And if so, do UDTs do more than underwater demolition?

I can't speak for everyone, but it doesn't bother me much. Like I said, I appreciate you spotting the issue in the first place.

Fixed. The mag's been dropped a centimetre, and the action raised by a millimetre or so. That'll give the bolt enough space to travel over the magazine unimpeded.

what have i done

That looks a tad fat does it not? I mean just how much powder could you possibly need?

by **The Archangel Conglomerate** » Tue Oct 27, 2015 3:48 am

Roughly as much as can be fit into said case, I'd imagine. My concern is that the bullet looks a squidge long.

Longer bullets are better, they're more ballistically efficient.

No, how could I have? My browser is set to display images not text links to images.

anyway this is like three years of time but it's a GPC so yes it's going to be fat

A walk through history: Renders on certain Atlantean soldiers, based on unearthed undersea tablets and scrolls found off the coast of eastern Chaoryos Prefecture, Part 1 (how the scrolls and tablets were well-preserved is unknown):

An Atlantean swordsman. Apparently, the Atlanteans seemed to value mobility and fleet-footedness, given the size of the shield and sword. Either that, or it was an early shock-trooper. Which one of those is unclear. Also, notice that the Atlanteans also valued complete armor, covering every body part with armor, be it leather, early renditions of chain-mail, or with metal armor, probably made of iron, based on these unearthed texts.

An Atlantean "berserker". Based on its appearance on tablets and scrolls, its manner of fighting seemed like that of a berserker. Despite the "berserker" wearing the same armor as the swordsman, it seemed to be easier to kill, perhaps due to its lack of a shield, and, as such, is presumed to have been relegated to shock trooper divisions.

An Atlantean archer. Notice how its bow resembles that of a horse, in homage to Poseidon, Greek god of the seas and patron of Atlantis. Also notice how its face is not covered, implying that the Atlanteans believed that covering the face of the archer only hindered its aim.

NOTES:
-The Atlanteans were technologically advanced for their time period.
-OOC: These are based from Monster Hunter Freedom Unite

My point is that at no point in time did looking the name of the image up ever become something I would for any reason at all feel the need to do.

Is belt feed the best option for a chaingun or should I go for something else? The ammo is just plain old 7.5x55.

What's the point of a chaingun firing 7.5mm? Wouldn't it be better to use a plain MG for that and ditch the motor assembly?
Or did you mean a gatling gun?

I'd assumed it'd be used as a coaxial MG, honestly. The US had a few like that. The M60 used one, I think.

That would make more sense. I just figured it's intended to be an infantry weapon since we're in the infantry thread.

There is no earthly reason to use anything else except perhaps a link less system but that might be a bulky and complicated depending on where the ammo run would be. If you have a nice Straight path from the magazine to the gun then a link less might work.

no

by **EsToVnIa** » Tue Oct 27, 2015 7:21 am

you should try it, or just try something to make the outline less sharp since as is it looks kind of "weird"
