[QUOTE=alexojm;43927551]Depends on weather holding that thing the guy is holding and spraying that smoke down someones throat will kill them. If so then yes and if no it then depends on weather the smoke will blind them. If the smoke causes cancer or something else unpleasant later on in life then it also counts. They are all wearing masks and that smoke is a scary yellowish colour so I think you are in the clear. [/QUOTE] It's training though.

[QUOTE=Sableye;43924163]which is why tactical nuclear weapons are a catch 22, you can build them to a lower yeild (the army had a 1 kiloton bomb that was very efficient) to shoot them further, but at the same time you want the a big enough blast to merit their use over conventional artillery and then you need to get the thing to be light enough to transport[/QUOTE] Oh if only Americium-242m weren't so rare and expensive, has a projected critical mass of 4-5kg, making it suitable for tactical nuclear weapons. Lighter weapons means longer range, lower critical mass means lighter weapons. [editline]15th February 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=Terminutter;43925473]Ahh, I see. So it's basically a dirty bomb combined with the actual nuclear explosive, the core is all fissile material, undergoes the chain reaction and explodes, whilst it's got other radioactive material that's not intended to split and is used deliberately to get as many radioactive particles in the air?[/QUOTE] It's more like putting Cobalt around the warhead to have neutron activation turn it into Co-60, which is hella radioactive for a long time. A single megaton-class cobalt bomb is capable of killing most of the people on the planet within 5 years from radiation poisoning.

[QUOTE=Skyward;43928474]Shame that movie sucked, Beck's designs are great.[/QUOTE] I thought it was good

[QUOTE=Ermac20;43928550]I thought it was good[/QUOTE] Eh, it felt silly and too heavy-handed to me. The rich white people were all [I]too [/I]damn evil. It just came across as cartoonish and very on the nose. And then the motivation of the villain (the guy from D9) and his plan at the end came out of nowhere and didn't make a whole lot of sense. And the whole healing-bed-ex-machina stuff didn't appeal to me. If I'm being totally honest, I don't remember much of it. And I usually remember movie stuff pretty well, so that's a little telling. It looked great, and it had some cool moments, but I didn't really care for it.

[editline]15th February 2014[/editline] Of course that would have the downside of necessitating a disassembly for reloading the weapon/cylinder (in Bioshock it was top-break, ejecting cylinder).

That's how the same gun was able to fire Trounds, .38 spl, and .22 lr with only a barrel change. You just slotted your .38 or .22 rounds into the Tround cartridge container and loaded the gun normally.

[video=youtube;ifujl4j95TY]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifujl4j95TY[/video] one thing trounds probably have over today's ammunition manufacturing process is they probably would be easier to manufacture since they are just akrylic and you only need metal for the actual projectile

Yeah, see: [quote=wikipedia]Tround adapters[edit] While trounds could be complete firearms cartridges, many trounds were made as chamber adapters which held a standard cartridge, such as a .38 Special.[2] This allowed readily available ammunition to be loaded into the trounds and fired from Dardick's guns. The .22 caliber tround held standard rimfire ammunition, and the guns that could fire it were equipped with a selectable firing pin to handle centerfire trounds or trounds loaded with rimfire cartridges.[/quote] [editline]15th February 2014[/editline] My merge

I don't think I've ever seen a camo'd revolver, let alone one that was done at the factory, so naturally I assumed it was a custom job. I'm quite partial to the blued Colt snakes.

This is what is called the A/SRH-C1. They say it's a hybrid between assault/sniper rifle [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/1rUj4s8.jpg[/IMG]

"sniper rifle" hehe.. okay sure. Why do some people miss the difference between a DMR and a LRR? Let's slap a scope on it and call it a sniper rilfe kk? .. it's a nice model though, just unnecessarily bulky and wtf that magazine angle. ~~ I've grown a small facination for the Fallschirmjagers (German Para's) from WW2..

I always thought what came between assault and marksman rifles were battle rifles.

[QUOTE=Rents;43935859]I always thought what came between assault and marksman rifles were battle rifles.[/QUOTE] "Marksman rifle" - Yesterday's battle rifle with some accurizing and a scope. The lines are somewhat blurred now; there are dedicated DM rifles, but there are DM rifles that were battle rifles and DM rifles that could be considered "Battle Rifles" if you removed the scopes and bipods. M14 used to be a battle rifle, add optics and a bipod, and it was a DMR. G3, a battle rifle, tune it up and you have an MSG-90 (DMR) or PSG-1 (Sniper rifle) PSL, SVD - dedicated DMRs HK 417, SCAR could go either way depending on the setup.

i thought DMRs described a functional role and battle rifles described its caliber - they're not mutually exclusive/inclusive check it out tho my avatar's like a dog version of the above
