I haven't read any of the Bean quartet (as it's referred to) yet. I've read most of the Xenosaga or whatever it's called, the books that follow Ender as an adult. First series: * Ender's Game * Speaker for the Dead * Xenocide * Children of the Mind This is what...

I'm going to finish reading all of the Discworld books. Start on the Foundation series (never read) and read the Bean quartet after I re-read Ender's Game. Right now though, I'm going through the first book of There Will Be War which is turning out to be ok and not. I'm about halfway...

6/10, Falloutish but not really original, see second to last post. :P

Not sure if I've ever posted in this thread but... I think in the first game I like the .223 Pistol best overall, that and the shotguns. The assault rifle is a joke. Also, not sure how far back Suaside was quoted from but the G36 was not developed from the M16 series. It borrowes heavily...

He said he made it, not that he invented it. People who make cars will say they make cars even if they didn't invent them.

You're talking about machinepistols. The Mauser was called the Schnellfeuer (fast fire) and had the selector on the left side. Machinepistols are probably the hardest firearm after sniper rifles to learn to use and practice with. If you do learn though, you have the deadliest close quarters...

Move, just because it's a game doesn't mean you can toss whatever you like into it. Consistency of the fantasy is more important than whatever a bunch of internet kiddies have a hardon for. Ask Rosh. The Artillery Luger was never issued in huge numbers like the standard P08. It was just...

Thanks for all of the comments. Sorry for waiting this long to reply, been out of it of late. I'll pass them on to her.

I apologize for my delay in posting but I've been sick and distracted by family issues lately. Uninformed? The M16 doesn't use a polymer body at all. It has polymer furniture but that's it. The receiver is cast aluminum machined down to the proper tolerances. The M16 has more parts than an...

I rest my case... Even if I hate the looks of it.

Oddly enough, that looks exactly like a M1911 Colt Commander with the spur chopped off for some reason. One has to hope you know how to work out a firing mechanism that doesn't fire it every tim the slide drops. ;) - Colt

Look, no offense, but do you know much about pistol design? Do you know why we've advanced beyond the M1911? Do you know why Browning himself went on to design the Browning Hi-Power which nearly every modern pistol copies? The Sig is not a fragile weapon and it will work under adverse conditions...

The M1911 was the best semi-automatic pistol design for a long time but it isn't anymore. There are better designs like the Sig P220 And HK USP. While the M1911 is nowhere near an obsolete design, it simply isn't the best anymore. Also, unless it's tuned, it's not the most accurate either. It's...

Err... All of them pretty much, aside from the newer rifles. They're the only ones that seem to have a sighting device and then... I remember a few scenes in one of the movies where it put out a light instead. - Colt

This is exactly what I've said in previous posts. There should have been a bunch of lever action, bolt action, and slide action firearms all over the place with revolvers. There's a reason these weapon types are still around even after they've become "obsolete". - Colt

There are, though, only so many ways to make something like body armor. You either catch it, stop it, or deflect it. Unless, of course, you want to use reactive armor but that could get a bit messy if anyone is standing too close to you. I do understand what you mean though, something like...

You guys need to remember that we're talking about the future of the 1950s, not THE 1950s. They of course would have developed things like bullet proof vests and the like. Flak jackets have been around since WWI. Some things are developed because there is a need. They fall into place like the...

As Super Deadman Walking pointed out, a suit of power armor is not going to be form fitting unless it's some sort of really light scout unit... And then you're not going to want to have large breasts wearing it, they'd probably just be mashed down. That's how most armor works. When they start...

So you're saying it's pretty much a... PKM with the barrel off of the Lewis Gun. :P

It looks something like a PKM: http://world.guns.ru/machine/mg07-e.htm
