Old Man Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 Re: Cool Guns for your Games In real life I can't see a huge advantage to having a gun that folds and unfolds. But it's still really cool and this is not a real-life gun thread, but a thread about guns for games! So the FPG is awesome. The three revolvers I posted--one is a PPC target pistol (real steel) and the bottom two exist only as renders from some deviantart page. Which is good since the bottom revolver, that apparently fires two bullets at once, would be utterly ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSgt Baloo Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 Re: Cool Guns for your Games The mentions of 9mm and .45 ACP revolvers that I did find were geared toward LEOs that already had standardized on semiautomatic pistols and wanted revolvers in like caliber for backup use. Even then I have to wonder' date=' though--why bother when the odds of you having to load one gun with rounds from the other is next to zero?[/quote'] That way the department doesn't have to issue different calibers of ammo for the officer's primary and back-up weapon. You don't take the rounds from one gun to load the other until well after you wished backup would have arrived. And one of the guns won't fire. And the other needs ammunition. Ad absurdium.

Ragitsu Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 Re: Cool Guns for your Games Are there any magazine type tranquilizer pistols/rifles, or is this pure fantasy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSgt Baloo Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 Re: Cool Guns for your Games Are there any magazine type tranquilizer pistols/rifles' date=' or is this pure fantasy?[/quote'] Pure fantasy. Every application I can think of where a tranq gun would likely be used, repeat shots have to be calculated according to the mass of the target and how many doses have been given already. Unless the magazine-fed tranq gun can adjust the dose on the fly (perhaps operator-adjusted) it's probably not practical or safe. Of course, in a super or sci-fi setting, who's to say someone hasn't developed a "knock-out" drug with an effective dose so small and a toxic doze so large the only way you could die from the stuff is drown in a vat of it?

Lord Ghee Looks like that is the original 76mm Samouraix version. Impressive, but the later version that used the 40mm HV grenades as used by the Mk 19 Mod 3 was probably more practical. NOT that a 2-3 lb HE Fragmentation grenade is anything to scoff at... Edit: I just remembered something I thought of inspired by that weapon. It might have been a SUPERB weapon to mount with a machine gun on our convoy vehicles in Iraq and Afghanistan. I like the thought of a recoilless rifle for busting ambushes, but that backblast issue could be avoided by using something like the HIWS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wcw43921 Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Re: Cool Guns for your Games And now for something just a leetle beet different--the JPX Jet Protector Link to an article Link to another I like the design, although I think that the next development would be a revolver configuration--six shots would be better than two, after all. And while a "real-world" campaign would use pepper spray for the chemical agent, a more fantastic campaign would use something like fast-acting tranquilizer or lethal nerve toxin.

DusterBoy Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Re: Cool Guns for your Games Interesting little gadget, good for a vigilante with a "less than lethal" mentality as well as cops who want to avoid legal troubles from using firearms. But as you say, wcw43921, a revolver-style weapon would be better for its greater capacity.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Re: Cool Guns for your Games There's no particular reason this needs to have a firearm form factor at all, really. It would fit into a walking stick or a scary mask, or just about anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sundog Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 Re: Cool Guns for your Games None of the above. Koch is pronounced with a sound not used in the English language, rhyming with the scottish word Loch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
