Again I love cats for all their contributions to humanity.

Sniffing out bombs

Tracking down Criminals

Seeing eye cats

gaurding against burglers

The constant and never ending love and effection

Oh wait, that's dogs.

What do cats do again.....

Is EGG really a coke-head?

http://www.boeing.com/phantom/att.html This should do what you want. Probably a bit more. It looks darn cool...

Yup, I think that about nails it! Looks Cyberpunkish too!

Actually I'm a Dork, not a geek. I'm not good at math, so I can't be a Geek!

BTW, I'm Redleg06 on ENWorld. I don't post as much there though, since folks over there don't like to argue...

I think D&D gets blamed becasue,like it or not, it was the first widely palyed fantasy/sci-fi RPG, and well, most people are pretty munchkinish when they start out. That is if you start out in the 4th Grade like I did.

He should get you the "Reflective Silver Stripe Bustier"  

January 1986, 8th Grade, Mrs. Oswald's class. Our music teacher made the annoncment over the PA system.

February, 2003, asleep on a Saturday morning. My mom called to tell me.

Never thought I would have to see that again. I think, for us sci-fi fans, and all those who see the world beyond what's right in front of their face, this is the worst kind of tragedy. Can't blame anyone, it just happened.

God bless 'em.

Ha! That was funny, now that I actually took the test!

Terrible. I'm red/green color-blind. But thanx for bringin up  a sore point!  

ITRW modern tanks use a variety of armors made from composite maerials, steel plates, spaced armor, armor inside armor at off-setting angles etc, etc. their value is expressed in millimeters of Rolled Homogenous Armor Equivilant, RHAe for both Kinetic Energy rounds and Chemical Energy Rounds.

The stats for a T-80UD for instance are KE=600mm, CE=1000mm (without reactive armor).

Has anyone experimented with Cyberpunk rules for this?

I can't imagine SOF forces would want it to be any bigger than a C-130. Certainly no bigger than a C-17. Kinda depends on how SOF are organized in your world. Do they have their own strategic airlift, or do they have to "borrow" from th Air Force?

"Bad news does not improve with age"

On a Friday afternoon it does! Do I stay late Friday night because of the bad news? Or, do I save it for Monday morning? Hmmm.....

Interestingly enough that you should mention B-20, I recently work for (briefly) a LTC who was the TF S-2 for the Ranger element of MG "Mad" Wayne Downing's scud-busting expedition to the western desert. He said the movie, while it had some real Hollywood additions was fairly accurate.

More recently I worked for LTC Mike Steele, G-3 10th Inf Div (MTN). (CPT Mike Steele of Black Hawk Down fame).

Wow. That sounds  A LOT like Walter Jon William's "Voice of the Whirlwind."

Voice of the Whirlwind

I've actually been mech most of my career. Only recently have I had to hump a ruck' again. This walking sh** is for the birds!

BTW, Military intelligence in not an oxymoron, "Light Infantry" is!

They're operating under the observations made since the adoption of the M-4, actually.  They've noticed that the reduced weight doesn't really subtract from overall accuracy and that there is no notable reduction in overall performance in regards to standard infantry applications.   In this case, what not make every effort to reduce the weight that your soldier has to lug around?  A less fatigued soldier is a more effective soldier and by adding these special sights and such, they're a much more accurate soldier as well.  So after all this you get an increase in performance per soldier at a reduced mass that your logistics has to pack from place to place as that soldier gets moved around. Umm...winning? Mark(psycho)Phipps( HAHAHA! )

Exactly. The average US Infantryman carries the same amount of weight as a Napoleonic infantryman! Evry time we make somethinglighter (MREs and plastic canteens etc) we just give "Joe" more sh** to carry. The CoS of the Army told Army researchers to bring that to an end. He wants evrything a soldier needs to survive and win in a fight at under a certain weight (40lbs I think).

Americans speak American...

...and Ebonics, and Redneck, and South-Bostoner, and Brooklyner, and...

No one perverts and corrupts a language like Americans!

I'd say ask the players if they are using the shoulder-stock or if the stock is folded (at least on the AKS-74). If it's folded impose a penalty. That will have a bigger impact than the shortened barrel length I would think.

I don't either, but I would say don't expect presents on top of it!

Seriously? I guess cash in lieu of dinner and jewelry is just cutting out the middle-man, but she better be hotter than a snake's ass in a wagon-rut.

True Dat!

The US military has quite a few favorites of mine...

CSW = Commercial Sex Worker

Hooker.

Referred to in a medical memorandum waring against STDs.

I was mistaken, it is "commercial" not "contracted"

And it was an Air Force memo.

And a very Happy 2003 to you all!

Or a happy 0030 if you live in my world!  

Happy B-day 'Shaker!
