1870-1920 Era War: Lockin' up (Continue to New Thread)

[Norcourt]

As we are now allies, I'm thinking about supplying your nation with some Norcourtian guns as well...Like these.

Perhaps we can work on modifying the Bannerman-Croft as a semi-automatic weapon.

I did that in the 1950s...



"Despite many other nations switching to Semi-Auto Battle Rifles, or Assault Rifles, Norcourt was still stuck with it's old M1896 Bannerman-Croft Bolt Action Rifle. Experimentation during World War 2, led Norcourt to study the M1 Carbine, and the French MAS-46 Prototypes. Combat, was known to be taken place at 300 yards, average, while lighter and faster cartridges were were also something key to modern combat. They attempted to use the .30 Carbine cartridge, however, it was seen as two weak, and too restricted to import. The obvious choice was the new 7.62x39mm Russian cartridge, used in their new Avtomat Kalashnikova 1947, rifle. Considering how many Bannerman rifle stocks there were, along with fully finished rifles, Norcourt decided to convert the rifles to save money. All in all, the M2, saw service from 1953, all the way up to 1975, being replaced by a gun for another story..."


BUT perhaps we can still do that with a full rifle, and full rifle cartridge. Also, I'm still upgrading to another Bannerman-Croft, the M1896

TTI how do you like my post??

Also guys, the part about using the Winchester Shotgun to Trapshoot Grenades was an actual use for the gun. I found this while researching the Winchester Trench Gun

The Model 1897 was used by American troops for other purposes in World War I other than a force multiplier. American soldiers who were skilled at trap shooting were armed with these guns and stationed where they could fire at enemy hand grenades in midair.[2] This would deflect the grenades from falling into the American trenches and therefore protect American soldiers.[2]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winchester_Model_1897#Military_use

I might start issuing it as a secondary or squad level weapon.

I issue it squad level for close quarters combat and Grenade Trap Shooting.

Each of my troopers had his Rifle and either the Mauser PO-90 or the Colt Laramie as a side arm, and then they have the Krag Bayonet that can be used as a long knife (Its 18in long).

Traansval, the thing that started this whole advanced twist thing was u right? With the armoured car?

Also, remember when u told me that the M1871 was out of date? No, not really. It was used by the Turks during WW1

The what? What the hell is the M1871?

Also yeah, the development of the Armored Car from the first Experimental Carriages is really what started the whole twist thing.

Uh, yeah, I think that a sudden fleet of ships that somehow no one noticed, and rifles with rocket launchers attached to them is a little bit of a godmod NCSU. That would be hard to accept even in an FT RP, let alone one in the Edwardian period.

Well he actually did post that his fleet was MOVING towards Aclus, and gave him plently time to respond which he did not. So that part i'm fine with,

I'm calling bullshit on the Rifle Rocket Launcher tho..

Alright, fleet dismissed. But rocket launchers are godmod. One could also make an argument against the missiles as well. While there were rockers back then, they were super ungainly and hard to use. Missiles didnt come around in any major way until the late 40s early 50s.

Actually, Rocket Artillery was used to great effect by the British during the Napoleonic Wars.

Also, while they are very inaccurate, they can be used to great effect when fired in swarms against stationary or slow moving targets.

So, i noticed Billy using the Swan Symbol as the FIA Insignia, so i thought i would make a Free Islander Flag



Its the TTI Flag, with the Swan on the Yellow on the right, and 12 White Stars on the left representing each of the 12 Isles. The small Grey space with the three white stars at the bottom represent the Colonies.

Navy has won every game since 2001.

Im not dismissing rocket artillery. Im saying that it wouldn't be missiles.

Also, the flag is G. The swan is used because it is the national bird of the Isles, and is supposed to represent the majesty of her people, like the majesty of a swan, and the power of her military, like the cruelty of a swan.

That's not what TTI is complaining about. NCSU apparently has underbarrel rocket launchers AND airship mounted rockets.

[The Twelve Isles]

Yo, we gotta get this allaince thing going fella's, so that Billy can get moving to recruit the Colony's, and bring the Free Isles Army to retake the Home Isles.
