It really Doesn't fit the aesthetic established by your previous images, such a clean price totally breaks the whole retro futurism/ space medieval vibe.

Honestly from your previous images and the term rail musket I would honestly be expecting something like a flintlock musket with space gebbles/dohiccies attached or perhaps something like the 40k laslock peices.

I feel like a "rail-musket" would look more like this.

On reflection a short arquebus/hackbutt would be even more fitting.

Take something like this:

Add some coilsand stuff on the barrel and it would be perfect for the space knight punk type look.

Most US firearm regulations require a weapon be semi-automatic to qualify as an assault weapon. Often they also have to be able to accept detachable magazines, but this varies somewhat between states.

Thanks for your feedbacks. How about this?

Bonjour, I am Grand Queen Dominique of the Kingdom of Blancpayne, a land of Medieval Society and SciFi Technology, where Knights fights in giant Mechas. They say that Blancpayne is a backwards and archaic nation where feudalism is rooted, I say they're just envious of our beauty and stability.

I look forward being your new neighbor. Cheers to a bright future!

Ride close to enemy, look at enemy, ride away.

Ride close to enemy, dismount, capture a couple of entries, bigger off sharpish.

Etc etc.

But basically it's about getting close enough to the enemy so you can get an idea of what he is up to whilst keeping away from his defensive screens
If you can't avoid his screening units then you need to fight them until you can pull back safely.

Basically the same principles apply to the royalist cavalry during the Monmouth rebellion as it would to the formation recce units of the BOAR.

Assault Weapons = Semi Auto...
Seriously? US? So, a M1 Garand, SVT-40, M1 Carbine, heck, even FN FAL?
True "Assault weapons" should've been full auto capable, not semi. Heck, M16s without full auto should've been legal.

Potentially, if they posess X amount of "evil" features. But civilian regulations probably aren't overly suited to the infantry thread.

Dude they are talking about us civilian firearm legislation, politics and hoplophobia so full auto is pretty much of the picture.

It has nothing to do with the actual technical designations of military arms.

And even in military designations the FAL is an assault rifle, as it's select fire and fires what is technically an intermediate cartridge ;)

Hope you brought your raincoats. ‎( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

For reals tho, I'm always here, I just usually don't have much to say. Haven't come up with anything new for Sevvania lately. Might have some post-apoc infantry stuff when I get around to retaking Fort Independence, if the thread wants to debate the merits of platoon-level M2 Anti-Mechanization Rifles and the best calibers for killing super mutants.

But then again, I have neither photoshop, nor drawing skills.
