It's not that I'm saying it's a bad choice. I'm just saying that when your hear 'sawed off shotgun' you think 'Mossberg or Remington'.

I'm also curious what the total round count for it is. 10? 8?

Didn't think about the Remington. When looking for one all Google showed me was the classic double-barrel shotguns and a KSG, the latter of which seemed more suited for XCOM due to not needing to be reloaded after two shots. As for total rounds I'd say 8 which is roughly a third less than it can hold normally.

PP-2000 looks sweet. Miyuki needs a new sidearm too.

Btw, her encounter is open for a few people, doesn't have to be a 1-1

Was actually have Kruger maybe come by since she's likely to be on the active roster now.

Alright. Should be fun to rack in that case.

For simplicity's sake perhaps XCOM could come up with a magazine and caliber for the two shotguns, so there won't be any confusion during the heat of battle on which pouch to go for especially when they are similar in operation.

It's for IC purposes, perhaps through experience something like this could be conceived.

June will probably ask to change her role so she can have a sawed off as a side arm, maybe when she asks to switch units. Anyone want to talk to her?

Also, I realized she's probably the lowest ranked one with others getting promoted :/

Both the Mossberg and KSG can chamber 3 inch 12 Gauge IIRC.
Yo, that's mad.

That which is used for the weapons mentioned. Quite busy now during an early shitfest so I can't exactly pull up the gauge chart. If 12-g is the standard then let it be proposed to be 12-g.

HANDGUN, MACHINE PISTOL, and SAWED-OFF SHOTGUN are universal sidearms that anyone can use.

So... The problem was?

All use the standard 12-g 2 3/4 inch shells. Red for Buck, Clear/Black for Magnum, Green for Slug.

An additional gear slot, yes. Why carry one grenade when you could carry three?

That's only Tactical Rigging A, an additional research can grant yet another slot for a total max of four.

Hm brainfart moment, and my proposal was invalid. Was thinking that magazine-fed shotguns would be more practical, but they appeared in the mold of the Automatic-Shotguns which seemed to disappear from my mind.

Vasily can. I was just about to post him taking a nap in the waiting area and being woken up by the shouting.

Oh yeah Beiarusia, if I wanted to make a scientist character since we have an engineer character. What should he be skilled in for the science department? Biology?
