    I've never had a thing for the MP7. The SCAR-H, on the other hand... it is my very favorite gun.

    *chuckle*

    seriously though, my 1895 45/70 Marlin Lever Action does the trick, there's nuthin I can't take down with that, aside from perhaps a small helicopter... :P

    Let me make something absolutely clear.

    That is all.

    Did I mention my favorite is a fully automatic shotgun? :D
  • shadow boxershadow boxer The Finger Painter & Master Ranter
    Arethusa, in 7.62, yeah, the SCAR is a good piece, reminds me of the FN/SLR.

    I'd delete the optics and put a 2.5 long eye relief 'scout' scope.

    20 or 30 rd box ? you must plan on missing alot...:D

    Having your LOS so far from the barrel is also something that concerns me.

    Also, thats an assault rifle, not something most people can own.

    mine however, the Marlin 1895 45/70 is something available to, or attainable by most folks.

    (bottom of the 3 pics on the right, except mine carries an illuminated reticule Nightforce 'Scout' Scope.

    In a fair fight, you wouldn't get your SCAR on target before I blow you clean off your feet...

    You'd be amazed how much difference a long eye relief optic makes. You can point and shoot a rifle like a shotgun at obscenely long ranges.

    Sorry to rain on your parade Space Ghost but the auto shotgun unfortunately, is a still born concept. In practise, it gets too hot, dirty and unreliable too fast.

    I wish Tyvar would appear right about now..:) This thread seems awfully wrong without him.

    That would be fun, talk about suppression fire.

    I'm trying to figure out what kind of shell load would make the optics useful though.

    It uses 12 gauge shells, so I can't imagine at full auto it would be terribly accurate.

    But when you can blast off that many shotgun rounds, who needs to aim? ;) I wouldn't worry too much about the optics that were added later. Give me the factory standard weapon with the 20 round drum and something big that needs to be shot up and I'll be one happy Space Ghost. :D

    Its funny, in the Warhammer 40k rulebook, it says the ammo fired by Spacemarines have slugs of depleted deuterium..

  • BigglesBiggles <font color=#AAFFAA>The Man Without a Face</font>
    Maybe it's frozen? :p
  • StingrayStingray Elite Ranger
    Deuterium is not heavy water, Deuterium is a component of heavy water. Deuterium is an isotope of hydrogen.

    Deuterium: 2H or D
    Water: H2O
    Heavy water: D2O

    According to this page: [URL=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deuterium]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deuterium[/URL]

    Not sure why they call it depleted either, because it's initially not radioactive...

    I guess it's just for effect and it sounds trekky. :D

    Don't feel bad, I didn't know it either and I took a couple of chemistry courses. ;)

    They don't teach doomsday chemistry in class.
  • MessiahMessiah Failed Experiment
    Ah, yes youre right of course.

    But still, silly technobabble can really ruin stuff. This is a case where it isnt an integral part of the story, but man if it were, I would have a hard time playing that game..

    I was unsure if I should get the Warhammer 40,000: Dawn Of War Anthology (GOTY+2Expansions) until now. The store I usually get my games from just ran out of the box set so that decision was taken for me. Aw, well, maybe I'll find it somewhere else. I'm a snailgamer and cheap too. :D
  • MessiahMessiah Failed Experiment
    I havent played the game myself, but Ive heard from several sources that its really good.

    Im gonna get the anthology myself soon.. :)

    Ask and you shall recieve!

    First off FN-USA will be offering civilian versions of the SCAR in 2008 or so, or at least the rumor here is to that effect so yes if your a murican you can get one of those, albet in semi automatic and with a minimum barrel length of 16 inches.

    *Tyvar tears up for a moment* God bless the USA!

    Secondly the sights on that are either aimpoints or similar sights, in alot of ways they do function like long eye relief scopes, and they are very, very fast to aquire target picture, however mostly they are either unmagnified or 2X so they are for short ranged engagements.
  • shadow boxershadow boxer The Finger Painter & Master Ranter
    Tyvar !

    *runs towards him arms outstretched for a hug... and suddenly stops in his tracks, drops into a very neutral non-threatening pose*...

    Uhm yeah... Hi Tyvar, good to see you.

    whew ! almost got my arse shot off there...

    *passes him a box of 30 aught six*

    Merry Christmas/New Year
  • TyvarTyvar Next best thing to a St. Bernard
    Alright, uh yeah, that damn near got you shot for the creepy factor, I mean what the hell is wrong with you man?!

    mmm aught six...

    oh for gods sakes, fill out the forms pay your 200 dollar tax stamp and get it as an Short Barreled Rifle, and you can have your ultra small barrels ya winer, all your missing then is the automatic fire capability, which the SCAR-H might not have anyways (since 7.62x51 isnt even slightly controlable in full auto out of anything smaller then a light machinegun)
  • shadow boxershadow boxer The Finger Painter & Master Ranter
    well install a long cooled/finned barrel with a bi-pod and then you could rock-n-roll... but a 20rd clip will suddenly seem mighty small.

    you'd need a belt feed adaptor or something... big ass banana clips ? :D
  • Falcon1Falcon1 Elite Ranger
    Speaking of guns is the US Army still planning on using that new stupid looking gun thats replacing the M16? The one with the computer bits in it. Looks a bit like the pulse rifle from Aliens but much bulkier.

    I like the P90. Doesn't pack a huge punch but a nice compact weapon.
