The Glock 19 can also be converted, paralegally, into an autofiring weapon by filing down the trigger break. I don't know how to do it, but I think it's funny, in a sort of scary way.
As for the weapons stuff, what I essentially invisioned in my post was. 1: melee weapons 2: Pistols 3: Shotguns 4: Scoped Rifles 5: Submachineguns (essentially somewhere between a pistol and an automatic rifle, usually not held one handed but can be in a pinch, carbine length or shorter, 6: battle rifles/assault rifles (the difference being the size of bullet fired as both are automatic), 7: flamethrower (although I suggest that as a precaution against poluting the environment even further with fire and toxins, the benzine be removed from the fuel, essentially making the device a gasoline shooting, flame on, water gun), 8: Chainsaw, 9 or 0: Light Machineguns (machineguns are light, medium, or heavy, and this applies not only to weight but to size of ammunition and amount carried, with light usually carried by specially trained infantry), 0 or hyphen: minigun (Actually, the minigun is probably a medium machinegun, meaning it could be carried in emergencies but is probably best used in emplacements. Occasionally, mediums are vehicle mounted.) Actually, if we were going to follow my idea, I suggest strongly that the minigun, for several reasons listed below, be changed to fire .45 ammo, which should I think be the same price as 9mm, because both are very popular and quite old. The .45 ACP cartridge fires the largest bullet in swamp so far, which would make it perfect for a medium machinegun. Also, because the 7.62, if we followed my idea, would be used by the M-40 sniper rifle in Option 4, AK-47/M-14 battle rifle in secondary option 6, the M-60 in option 9 or 0, and the minigun in option 0 or hyphen. That makes four users of 7.62MM, the most expensive bullet in the game at four reputation a bullet to purchase. Since the minigun fires an ungodly number of these little guys, it's about 1200 rep to fill it up. If .45 ACP was used, and if it was the same price as 9MM is now, which I think is 24 reputation, the minigun could be filled for I think about 620, about half the price. I'll end on this note. I don't know what Kai is doing right now. I know that, so far, Kai and Jeremy have been a great team, and I hope that my occasional criticisms haven't made either one sore at me. If what's happened so far is any indication, there's a lot of good stuff to look forward to. SIgned: Dakotah Rickard On 4/2/12, Ken <kenwdow...@neo.rr.com> wrote: > Yes, I'd love to see the Mac 10.
