I FINISHED MY RIFLE!

(Image)

The Bannerman-Croft M1886 Infantry Rifle
Specifications

Weight: 10 Pounds (Rifle), 8 Pounds (Carbine)
Length: 48 Inches (Rifle), 37 Inches (Carbine)
Cartridge: Norcourtian 8x50mm Croft
Action: Bolt Action
Barrel Length: 28 Inches (Rifle),17 inches (Carbine)
Velocity: 650 M/S
Effective Firing Range: 400 Meters
Maximum Firing Range: 1,650 Meters Volley Fire
Feed System: 6 Round Box Magazine

A couple of things:
1. That carbine looks REALLY small. Not really a big deal but it just looks tiny for 37 inches.
2. Volley fire tends to be unaimed so you would think that the maximum range would be longer than the volley fire range. Also, volley fire is kinda obsolete these days, thanks to machine guns and rifles that are accurate to as far as 1,000 meters in some cases.
3. That bullet kinda scares me. 8mm is big. Though it could do with a larger magazine. Like maybe four more rounds?

1. Twas based on Berthier 1892 length, and also MEANT to be quite small and handy, due to use for Artillery and Cavalry (not so much infantry, but if needed, yes.), also, the main counter for arty, at this era, was cav, so...yeah...


2. Twas also based on 1886 Lebel statistical volley fire range

3. Both Lebel, and Mannlicher rifles used 8mm rounds and were able to function with more than 5 rounds (Lebel: 8 Rounds, Mannlicher M1888: 5 Rounds)

Your criticism is noted. Thanks man!

3. I said use a BIGGER MAGAZINE!

[Eodor]

Well, I don't suppose I can remove my Colonies. I can't just remove them. I've settled there, and it was claimed by Norcourt!
Move forces, or declaration of war shall be established.

I retract my statement. It's 2 AM, and Idk what the hell im talking about.
Anyways, we still claim Goldrush, however, we are not sure of what to do...

Split it maybe?

You do need some sleep.

Goodnight all

IT IS 9 AM

[Arengin Union]

Btw Arengin. Volgagrad (Volga's Goldrush Capital) is controlled by me already. And I've cleansed (murdered) most of the civilians in the villages.

i dont recall such thing.

I want my piece

[Rannoria]

I am back.



IN A DAY OR, TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[The Manticoran Empire]

I am back.

You need to add Eaka to the nations list. He's on the map but the only one not on the actual list.

[The Manticoran Empire]

I want to bring a puppet in here so I can at least have SOMEONE on when I'm on. Then I will be less bored.

[Norcourt]

The quietness of this current stalemate, is deafening..

[Norcourt]

WHY IS THERE NO WAR!

Manticore, care to start a trade deal?

[Arengin Union]

WHY IS THERE NO WAR!

Manticore, care to start a trade deal?

I think Manticore and I might inevitably go to war.

[Norcourt]

Quite sad. As I am not an official Entente member, but merely a friend, I do not think I may join. If I am to come to blows, however, I will indeed support whomever it is, greatly.

I understand. But aren't you in the entete though???

I will bring my puppet in and start a war with it.

Of course. I have my Emperor doing a tour of nations. Currently in Eaka and will send to you next.

I think Manticore and I might inevitably go to war.

Entirely possible. I am constructing bigger, faster warships and by 1900 my navy will exceed 3,000 warships, largely destroyers and cruisers.

3000 lol I don't think that's possible. You should consult Rannoria about that cause in that case I'll make sure to make 5000.

No. I'm sure I have tried to join, but then refused to, after realizing the many responsibilities and liberties, taken to account. I vow to thee, my country, Norcourt, to remain sovereign, as always.

In the eyes of the people of Norcourt, they see the Entente, as many people today see the EU...a dream, that cannot be fulfilled.

It would be far from possible if it were capital ships but more than two thirds of that number are destroyers, none of which displace more than 250 tons. It would take 100 of them to equal the tonnage of a battleship and they can't hope to match its firepower or armor. However, to build such a fleet has taken me near 20 years. It will take you twice that since you are building close to twice as many ships as I had to.
