No, it doesn't sound the way you say it does. It is your perception which makes it being so for you, personally, but that's something "on your side", i am sure. Here's why i am sure about it, if you wonder. Smug: not a single word in the above post of mine describes whether i am satisfied...

Russia exports ~45 billion USD worth of "not exactly specified or indicated" items (which i guess would include weapons export, among other things), but over 134 billion USD worth of oil and mineral fuels. Source. As for what Russia wants to have as its main export article - that's IT, and it's...

In short, nuclear famine is a famine caused by globally significant agricultural declines, caused by nuclear winter (in this particular case - after "limited" exchange between Pakistan and India). Mr. Kent Shifferd, Ph.D., a historian from Wisconsin, published a piece about it. He talks about...

Neither. Wasn't any kind of lecture. I wonder what is it that you do not like. Length? Certain parts being "too obvious" to you? Or perhaps, you don't see how it relates to the Risewild's post i was replying? Feel free not to answer this, if you don't feel like it.

Nope. Making and exporting weaponry does not in any way indicate how pro-peace a country is, - by itself. No case could be made. Because you can't have peace without weapons, this fact was well understood even thousands years ago, as per still widely known roman saying which goes: "Si vis pacem...

Doesn't matter much, though. IRL, both US and Russia have very similar systems. However, even if those systems would prevent any immediate damage to areas they are protecting, at the time of all-out exchange - it still will not "save" neither side from doom. Why? Because most of both countries...

Naaah, just one more "item of business" to splice some more taxpayers' billions into few wealthy pockets. The thing will fail miserably vs any "unpleasant people" who have or do one or more of the following: - modern ICBM subs; - numerous mobile ICBM laucners; - habit to live among people you...

I am, but does this matter? I doubt. As for what russians prefer, it is one widespread and lasting illusion in the West that we russians want to make war. It is being continuosly cultivated by western elites, for obvious reasons. But you can see what we russians feel about it, if you want -...

2/10 to me, Hass. They do their "job" just fine, it's just that this is not what i, personally, consider being any much music (nor any much enjoyment, for that matter). Now this obviously differs from person to person, of course, but on the other hand, there are objective features which make...

I don't remember ever having any prolonged interaction with you, but it may be my memory is at fault. Can't be helped, if so. As for my experience with war - it's very little. But then, it's more than enough, too.

1st, nowhere in this topic did i propose to use regular ammo against Zeppelins. So, whom are you talking with about it? Just curious. 2nd, nowhere in this topic did i say that militaries these days have any dignity left in them. Well, there are bits and pockets of it left here and there, to be...

I read in this page the following example, quote: "with 3 unused AP and 120% skill, the player character receives not +3 to AC, but +36 (+2 base and +10 from skill per AP)" IS THIS TRUE??? :crazy: P.S. Because if it is, then a naked Vault Dweller with AG 10, 300 Unarmed skill, 2 levels of...

Cost was not such an issue. Such bullets were used in much greater numbers in aviation, by the way - during WW2 i mean, intended to inflict massive "surface" damage to aircraft skin. Ground forces didn't use those for anything other than spotting relatively distant and hard targets for artillery...

I'm not an expert anyhow. Still if you insist that it's "outside" the body, i would argue that "on contact" assumes that the bullet actually went into the body at least a little - because however little, there is still time needed for the primer to blow up the charge, you know. But, whatever, i...

I'm necromancer enough, they say, yeah... I am just affraid folks would start coming after me with poles and forks if i'd keep digging things up. :D

Nonsense. If they wouldn't expand inside a body, how you think this would be the results of testing of those bullets - direct quotes from the above linked article: "Testing first occurred in Invercargill, where local legend has it that the first victim to fall to his explosive bullet was a cow...

Depends on what version one plays and what one deems "a point". I just had this map happened to me, while playing RP 2.3.3, at clvl 23. A pack of wolves was around, random encounter, no name. Took 'em out, noticed those arrows on the ground, started to look around. Plenty to see! In addition...

And the world is forever grateful to you for letting it know about it.

Ah, Ozzy! Him's very good. That one, i'd say 7/10 to me. He did a few i regard even much higher, too. Like the easy way out, dreamer, the other side, my life. And this one, of course:

It may in fact be a blessing that Kitsune's AP remains at 9, never going to 10. Why? Because if one gives her a gauss rifle, and if she's spending 5 AP per unaimed shot, then she may hopefully often do aimed shots (6 AP), and those deal so much more damage per bullet. While Jules would possibly...
