Would it be within reason for Chee to assume he could modify weapons that he got from the armory?

That's fine. Simple enough.

That Auschwitz/Hiroshima/Nagasaki thread is a fucking trainwreck. One edgelord Nazi apologist (apparently a British half-Japanese guy) ranting about "Zionists" and "Rothschilds" and "freemasons" and "NWO" and "genocide against Tibet" and "mass rape by Americans" and "Holocaust was exaggerated, and they totally only died of typhus" and that 'Dresden was genocide'.

Nazism, kids. Not even once. Also, Bomber Harris do it again!

Yeah. Not sure if Edgelord Nazi can be named without breaking some rule, but yeah, he seems like he'd be fun at parties.

Short answer, yeah. I have a bunch of ideas for the various Excalibur Squadron support personnel who'd be showing up, but that can wait, so feel free to go ahead.

Oh, he can be named, but maybe he's some weirdo who searches his name compulsively to see if people mention him negatively (like Shofercia), so it might be trouble

I see Fitzpatricks playing the part of the overly cocky new recruit (so to speak) that drives all the vets nuts and comes across as not very likeable.

I've never really been a big fan of wrestling, honestly. Not even because of it being scripted. Just never appealed to me.

OK, how on Earth are we able to pick out basically any weapon you want to in that hangar? I should think that obtaining something like an MP 38 at that point in the war would be a bit difficult.

At the very least, if you want an MP38, just shoot a few Germans once we get there.

Could it be said that this is an elite unit and so have access to most of the working MP38s the Army can get their hands on? Ammunition might be a bit difficult in that case...

Whilst I can see the point, I don’t think a table full of assorted weapons would be too much of a stretch. I’ve always thought Excalibur to be part of an inter-service, pre-War Operation - somewhat like an SOE version of the Avengers, if you like. I don’t know how much of that will make it into our canon, but that’s my mental image of it. As such, I’d assume a myriad of weaponry would be made available - sourced legally or otherwise.

Besides if you like MP38s, fuck it, why not?

Well, I already did the deal with the German uniforms coming from the French loot haul in the Saar.
MP38s could have been in the bag too.

Otherwise...I dunno, black marketeers? Stolen from some export warehouse?

Still, ammo would be pretty scarce. Almost certainly only enough for one or two people.

True. I guess the gamble you'd be making is that there'd be enough dead Nazis to loot once you got there that you could make up for it
