Colt was never really a contender, just a manufacturer anyway. Oh snap! It can switch between calibers? :O Oh wait, it could already do that on any number of platforms with any number of various ammunition types by swapping the upper. And any notion of 'easily' swapping (such as not requiring gunsmithing) falls flat on the premise that there is really no reason to swap at will on the field. Sure would be nice to switch to 6.5 Grendel or 6.8SPC.

Happy birthday! We brought an Ordo regulation 'Cake' with an equivalent number of flameless candles, as the others were deemed a fire hazard...

Congrats Nrom! Pfft, I never got a super cool awesome post like this... oh wait, there were no forums...

Happy berfday!

Nice track! :D Though the transition from the first sample old-timey track is kinda bland. Doesn't seem well-blended.

Now how does one make the ordo cross with ones' fingers I wonder...

No the whole point of this thread is to come up with new ideas in regards to the assault pack. A support pack is a nice idea and all, but that is not the focus of this discussion. There are a lot of upsides and downsides to things, which is why we are in need of new ideas to place in the pack (perhaps of concepts that didn't quite make it before due to equipment).

Pre-builds can be had for SUPER cheap without a graphics card, while still including all the minimum necessary parts like the latest Windows, Intel Core i7, etc. Like I had suggested to my dad, buy a super cheap Dell or HP that at least has the PCIe slot for graphics, upgrade some parts that would be cheap while you're at it (Windows 7 Pro, faster CPU, RAM) and purchase a graphics card elsewhere to get the best deal. Newegg carries a "Builder's Edition" Windows which is an OEM copy like is supplied with Dells, Gateways, and other prebuilds, and costs somewhere over $100 I think for a full version, rather than an upgrade.

We're going to need a lot of party hats... o_o

Actually that was an example to show that a conductive object crossing over both external antennae appears to be the actual cause, above and beyond the premise that an external antenna would be greatly effected by simply touch. Nevertheless, gb2/appStore, this is droid thread.

Justin Bieber has very poor trigger discipline! >:o You should ask to try it out, Ciel! .357 magnum in a revolver is quite controllable and exhilarating @_@ Revolvers in general are definitely a bit easier to handle in some sense at a loss for the recoiling mass of a slide on an automatic pistol of any kind.

Well yeah, it ceased operating when the havok changes were made, or somewhere around there. LL code fixes abounds made a lot of stuff not work from that era XD

Yus! The bestest Offensio Levitas Centurion, Xang! :D And I made him get everyone Pru's M82 since it like, worked, and was accurate. As opposed to the KVR which was not! I brought about the sniper group within Levitas, and thus the joke was born that Acies sure did like to talk about sniping! XD Hilarity ensued as we did a sim-length sniping test against a target behind a target and Xang horrifically failed because the KVR didn't shoot what you were pointing at! XD

Ditto

While I sit on a glorious throne of their defiled corpses! All shall love and despair... >:D

I think the purpose of powering down is that the home team would be currently using it and would be hazardous to approach while in operation. If an enemy force is intending to steal the resources of an already operational rig, they would first have to make the effort to kill the power before stealing already mined resources (not using the tools to mine for themself because that would be like them working it rather than stealing it).

All of which is WAY overly complicated since people have to switch tags ANYWAY just to set their homepoint, so having an OPFOR tag is not a big deal, nor a burden on anyone or anything.

Yes except we've already killed off the entire race of blue cat people in this storyline. :3 AND NOTHING OF VALUE WAS LOST.

The mineral shall be the mythical Unobtanium. Fueling the war efforts of the empire.

I concur. People fly in from all over the world (whom I feel sorry for that had extensive layovers in the mid-west and other places) in order to be captivated by the beauty that is Hawaii.

With the larger numbers meaning higher, it coincides with current threat levels of individuals and groups in mecury, so the higher the number should probably correlate to our current standards of threat levels. Then one day we could freak everyone out with a DEFCON over 9000!!

Welcome to the fold! Fighting the good fight!

No, I personally am the worst enemy of the armalite system, so whether or not a new system is inherently better is irrelevant to the fact that direct gas inpingement is inherently WORSE than anything else on the table. Any factors of durability are relative only to the ones complaining about plastic in lieu of MUCH more expensive machined weapon receivers. The fact that the government already pays out the ass for the most basic of infantry weapons where the civilian can acquire better is all too telling of how it always has been (civilians acquiring the Thompson machinegun, for instance, during WW2, notably the M1928 updates to the overall design). The current M4 is the perfect example of a bad weapon done worse when they slapped on a shorter foregrip and a barrel length that didn't meet the effective length necessary to apply the complete force of the M855 cartridge (or the other standard cartridge prior whose designation escapes me at the moment), therefore defeating the purpose in using the 5.56NATO altogether. It was bad enough the original rollout of the M16A1 was as horrible as it was because it was shiny, new, and fell in line with frontline requirements of 'more steel down range' and less reloading. It was one of the only shining moments where the military learned its lesson about adopting new weapon systems and the faults and adaptations that come with it at the price-point given. Problem with the HK416 premise is of course the cost, but that is derived from the company itself I believe. Its a nice, fancy weapon that does everything everyone wants it to, in the same package as what is currently issued essentially, but H&K will never have a favorable price-point for ANY weapon market. I'm pretty sure thats why the USP is not really at all adopted in any U.S department wholly despite its good looks and fineries. A metric ton of great companies out there offer amazing improvements over the given classic design, and even in varied calibers, such as LMT or Barrett, who originally only offered uppers to convert pre-existing Armalite rifles. Good example of the best bang for the buck being Rock River Arms, though they save in assembly, their parts have had some of the best reviews from what I've seen, in packages under a grand.
