    Re: Company cleared to sell jetpacks to comuters in New Zealand.

     

    oh 63 Mph so 30mins of flight time that cool, and 8000ft.

     

    so Kabul is 6000 ft + in a valley with ridges of 8000 around it so not much use there.

     

    ths cop verion would have an hour and a half flight time. would be great for grid locked New York, New York as you could get back up there in mins any time of day.

     

    I wonder how many hours before overhaul is, 2000? so using it for6. hr a day (cop) you would need to overhaul every 20 months

     

    This is cool thanks for the find

    Laidon what an astute observation.

     

    280 pound load, 175 lb infantry man (cloths basics), 40 lbs armor ect, 215, 20 bls M16 and ammo nades,235, 10 lbs for stuff (law or claymores ect) 245, 10 bls for company stuff (mortar rd or orther platoon stuff) 255, 8 lbs for food water, 263, 1 lb for the Infantry man excuse me the moble infantry (Dragoons yes that it bring back the first US Dragoons) 264, and 16 lbs for more gas to give you a range of 43 miles.

     

    It comes with a parachute so 300ft mim prob rocket deployed (or soon will be)

     

    I wonder what it alt max is and how dose it handle heat. Here in El Paso the airport is 4100 feet and at 105 degrees a lot of small planes cannot take off.

     

    Now make a few drones and you lanch from a truck and that be cool, yep Dragoons

     

    Now with a fit cop say a 200 lbs load so that is 80 for more fuel, 10 gallons, that is a range of 93 miles, sky patrol.

    A friend has been running a game on friday nights from NC for us here in El Paso Tx. He is on skype which allows you to show your screen. He set up autorealms and use our pics as icons which can be moved. works nicely to run combat.

  4. Nazi Germany's Secret Plan to Bomb New York

    in Pulp Hero

    Re: Nazi Germany's Secret Plan to Bomb New York

     

    for your information

     

    From the Wiki article on Captain

     

    In late April 1945, during the closing days of World War II, Captain America and Bucky try to stop the villainous Baron Zemo from destroying an experimental drone plane. Zemo launches the plane with an armed explosive on it, with Rogers and Barnes in hot pursuit. They reach the plane just before it takes off, but when Bucky tries to defuse the bomb, it explodes in mid-air. The young man is believed killed, and Rogers is hurled into the freezing waters of the North Atlantic. Neither body is found, and both are presumed dead. It is later revealed that neither character actually died.

     

     

    The Plane took off from a rail ramp, I remember it bieing a ratiz revenge weapon but I read it in my youth many moons ago.

  16. battle Wear vs. Town Wear

    Re: battle Wear vs. Town Wear

     

    Just some notes on weapons carrying.

    In History the aristocracy generally had the right to bear arms and defend them selves. This was because they made the laws and did not want have to face an armed unhappy non aristocrat. In most societies if you carried a weapon you potbelly had the right to do harm to a non carrier. Now this can be limited think of our society and the limits on police or feudal Japan where if you did not carry a sword you are a peasant and if I the samurai decided off with your head. Aristocracy could have one class (American Citizen) to many layers think France in the Middle ages. Having weapons handy could be important, the American western frontier or the Ancient Greeks to meet raiders or not need so limited like England now. How one got to be an aristocrat or issue temporary papers is the other consideration that need addressed. How did you get to be an aristocrat?

    · You could be born in the right family

    · You could serve in the military this make you an aristocrat as they where the military

    · Buy your way into the elite (ancient Rome)

    · Be granted the right

    o Which could be from one or all

    o Bought from the leader or leaders

    o Hold a office that give you the right for the office holder (prison guard, the watch and military)

    · Claim it by carrying and beat off any who try to take it away from you . This is how aristocracy generally start.

    The last thing to remember is that this could be a very excusive club which allowed no mobility up or down, some examples.

    · Celts, you were born into the warrior class and that that.

    · France in the renaissance, born to a noble patent holder, hold an office (such as officer in the army) and later you could buy into it.

    · Rome, be born a Roman and either have family wealth or gain it

    · Athens be born an Athenian and get wealth and then get the others to vote you in.

    · United States, early own property of the correct amount or hold an office (the officer and a gentlemen by congress),later just be born in the United States.

    · England be the patent holder or hold an office.

    The way the locals view you in your weapons and armor could range from

    · Japan, you are not one of us surrender your weapons or die

    · France in the middle ages clearly you are a noble you have a sword now are you raiders or travelers

    · Mycenae Greece every one has a weapon it dangerous out there and around here, Now are you raiders or traders

    The wearing of armor is generally view by most local aristocracies before gunpowder as war like or even an act of War. Wearing armor general in a no war or frontier area get the local kid who wants to get out of that farm work to run into town and start the hue and cry. In Japan wearing armor was a sign of rebellion so it got you the death penalty. Ancient Athens prided them selves on the fact they where the first city you could walk the streets with out a sword. The Athenians accomplished this with liberal use of the death penalty. London could not make this claim until the 1800’s. Ancient Rome one needed to get escort which the local citizens on the dole used as a way to make money and if you did not then they made a lesson of you so every one at night had escorts.

    As far as wearing armor it all depends on how dangerous a world it is out there. Modern troop wear the same amount of weight that men in the past did and they do it for weeks at a time. Yes there are health problem with this. If I was a conquering knight with William the conqueror then for the rest of my life unless I was in my castle or a good friends castle I would have some armor on and weapons on me (shield on my horse) for the rest of my life. Wearing your armor is one of the easiest ways to carry it around. I have worn medieval armor to events driving for it was just the best way to get it there (few hours). The conversation “yes officer some of us are knights” made me consider the, “are you raiders or traders” line for the first time.

    As game master it is up to you to figure out the “laws” (conventions) of your game. In a world of raider and monsters, arms all around for everyone but in the great civil city of wonderburg only the watch and gate guards will have them and they will ticket you if you are seen with such. If you land in that foreign land armed the hue and cry will go out since you are not local aristocracy and you will be met with force until you give up your weapons or your life.

     

    Hope that these thoughts help.

    Re: Firearms in fantasy?

     

    I have just started Running my Musketeer game and I am using the historical reloading times from the side bar. This seems to be working great the pistols used are dangerous but so far not over power the game. I also do not understand the consern express by some since we have had magic sword that do 5 6 dice of damage and wands of lighting ecxt running around.
