They were developed in the 60s. Instead of a gunpowder cartridge the propellant was inside the bullet itself. On ignition it came out of 4 offset nozzles that made it spin (hence, gyro). Unlike regular bullets they got faster as they went along. And no cartridge to eject. The rifles looked really cool too, really slimline. Very much like the gaus in stargate. Didn't catch on though. (Dredds lawmaster is meant to be a gyrojet)<br /><br />If you want to see them, in you only live twice the ninjas have them when they storm the volcano. Although for some reason they then use their swords.

I have a hard time with videogame grenade launchers because I play co-operative games alone and the AI of your partner isn't good enough to consistently pin down the baddies, so you tend to end up lobbing or shooting them at where you hope the opponents will be, not where they are. <br /><br />I didn't realise shotguns weren't allowed in war. TIL as reddit would put it. As for the chainsaw rifle:<br /><br />http://gearsofwar.wikia.com/wiki/Mark_2_Lancer_Assault_Rifle<br /><br />The only way they could make it cooler is to have it shoot bullets that were on fire. <br /><br />Another game series I've covered comics for is Dead Space and the last and least good game still has an awesome aspect which allows you to collect parts and build guns. I made a rifle that shot acid coated saw blades with and underslung shotgun that fired electrified spikes and I swear a heavy metal guitar riff played everytime I pulled the trigger.varalys the darkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17032083859598898676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2243012679315072030.post-75508900446882106792017-05-03T19:12:25.514+01:002017-05-03T19:12:25.514+01:00This thing

That's basically keeping the enemy's heads down whilst you manoeuvre. It's specialists in each company who actually try to take out the enemy. Mortars and grenades are the principal weapons for that. You've probably noticed how one or two guys will have those M130 grenade launchers underslung on their regular rifles. There was a cool potential new weapon that was basically a grenade launcher with an underslung AR15. It looked very sci-fi.<br /><br />If you've ever seen that bravo two zero film there's a very realistic depiction of the fire and move manoeuvre in that.<br /><br />Funnily enough there's a debate about whether shotguns are lawful in war. The conventions say ammo must be single slug and not be designed to fragment. Shotguns arguably don't fit that. There are underslung shotgun attachments for the AR15 though.<br /><br />Not sure how practical a chainsaw attachment might be. Won't be finding out either. Chainsaws scare the crap out of me. I won't go near them.Alan Robertshawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14509360521332746130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2243012679315072030.post-71352006714605185722017-05-03T18:55:14.383+01:002017-05-03T18:55:14.383+01:00Well that's pretty cool.

On lower-to-mid difficulties you have the ability to close range while shrugging off bullets and the shotty is effective but the harder difficulties I always go for the assault rifle and sniper rifle, if you end up stuck at close range you have a chainsaw (YES!) attached to your assault rifle and if you're lucky can get out of trouble, but as your armour has all the survivability of wet tissue you're usually crawling about on the floor hoping for a revive by then (hey it is sci-fi). varalys the darkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17032083859598898676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2243012679315072030.post-12236399119260891482017-05-03T17:46:34.962+01:002017-05-03T17:46:34.962+01:00This one

However the average ratio for snipers was 1.2 shots per kill. There's a great video of some people going through US sniper school (it's one of the special tabs yiu can get, like Ranger). You have to get an absolute perfect score to progress. Apart from the final test. If you miss on that you have 30 seconds to take a second shot.

Showed a few things (90% of kills < 100m; 0.01% > 300m; X,000 shots per hit etc) but one of the main conclusions was that just pointing in the general direction was as effective as aimed fire.

If you haven't seen that sketch...More cowbell!<br /><br />If you haven't seen that sketch you're missing out. But it's a very USian name isn't it? Ours are called Hermes and Watchkeeper. Rather embarrassingly our new artillery system was originally called Crusader, but then it got its first deployment in Iraq. So it was rapidly rebranded (as something like 'totally innocuous new artillery system'). That's an amazing bit of kit. Be very handy against Lovecraftian eldritch horrors. Most guns are limited by how strong and heavy the carrier vehicle is. But not-Crusader works like a skip lorry and levers the gun so it's resting on the ground. So it can fire much bigger charges.<br /><br />But on less armed combat, ah yes, really growing into Gal. From the trailers she looks amazing and completely well suited to the part.
