It still listed 7,62mm at 6d6+2 damage for rifle cartriges like 7,62x51mm NATO or 7,62x54mmR Mosin, used in medium machineguns. IRL, a medium machinegun (like MG3, M60, FN MAG/M240, or the Eastern Bloc favourite, PK/PKM will use).  This is a weapon that can chew softskin vehicles form a distance, and if loaded with AP ammo and close enough, will harm lightly armored vehicles (things like scout cars... or the rear door of a BMP-1 IFV!). 

 

 

The really scary thing is that 7.62X51mm will go through the lower hull of a BTR-60. The Chinese discovered that one in one of their border conflicts with the Soviets. I have an 80s Military article that states where to shoot in order to kill the driver with a short burst of fire.  Interestingly enough one of the BTR-60 in Grenada survived multiple 40mm HEDP hits and a M72 LAW Rocket. However since the three BTR-60 were facing a Ranger Battalion and an AC-130. None of the three BTR-60 remained intact.

I rather enjoyed R. Talsorian's BBS boards when they were up. 

Now they have a Discord and it could use a few more familiar handles.

There is an Artist Named "Muppo" that did a 3D version of Night City from the Books. Or at least the small corner that was fully mapped out. You could try to find them and see if you can get a copy of their Map.

 

I have the game but I have yet to play it. Mind you I don't have a good local gaming community.

Yeah Cyberpunk is lousy for stating real world stuff.

At least it's not Palladium books where most of the Military vehicles are stuff from the Vietnam era and mostly out of date a decade before said books were printed.

The lamborghini Countach was seen in Chromebook one as a replica but no stats are given.

The Bug out of Neo-tribes is the VW Beatle with a Baja package.

The HMMWV is a real vehicle.
The "Big Bus" in Neotribes is a modified passenger bus.

the 40 ton 8X8 truck is a real vehicle, the HEMETT

the 2 1/2 ton truck is a real vehicle.

the M113 and the BMP 2 are real vehicles.

BMP-3 and Marder are IRL

the M-1 Abrams and the T-72 are real

Apache Attack Helicopter

Bell-Boeing V-22B Osprey

Those are what I can find with a quick look.

Hey RW you Frakin madman....

 

I am about to hit 50, and since the law, ex or "concerned parties" haven't gotten me I think you are safe.

 

Much love and if you miss me, imporve your aim

My problem is that several of my possessions now need a tax stamp. You would think that Government Officials would no better when 90% of the people giving their opinion on a proposed regulation say they don't want it and most of the people who want it are bot sent form letters. As for Aim. I need more practice. I should only be seeing two holes at most.

Sort of like the difference in philosophy between my much loved M60 machinegun...

and MarkC's HK21E

His HK21 has about twice the rate of fire. The reason being tactical doctrine. In many ways the HK21 is influenced by German experience that brought us the MG42/MG3. While the M60 was influenced by WWII and Korea.

Well I could ask Hanns to Hire a hacker next time he's at Defcon.

As far as being an Admin goes.....Been there done that and have seen some nasty stuff. The first time was on a friends firearms group on Facebook. It blew up to 50,000+ people and he needed people who he could trust and had no issues with swinging the ban hammer. You would think that people would not post some of the stuff they did on a public forum. The second was when a friend's account got Nuked and I ended up taking over the group while he created a new FB account. The really funny thing is that he used to be a Neo-Nazi but then discovered that Black girls are beautiful. After a bit of soul searching he's interracially dating and working on converting to Judaism.

Great to see you Alive and kicking CJ. We missed you.

Yes my youngest niece is such a nice girl, she takes after her mum. Yes it seems that after my Dad's death I have confirmed family coming out of the woodwork.

I'm getting a This page is not secure and might be trying to take you information message. Some browsers will not even let me open the forum. Can we please fix this ASAP?

I've dealt with politics from junior high high school level to International Politics. it's bullshit to the level that I consider prostitution to be the more Moral of professions. Far to many are into Politics for their own Gratification and enrichment. Like one US Politician somehow added 36 million to her bank account on a less than $200,000 a year salary in six years she was in office. Most of them are hopelessly corrupt and need to be out of office.

I for one didn't like the art style. Don't get me wrong I love Anime, just not that style of Anime. As for the story line well It's OK but not as great as it could have been.

Oh belive me it's not the firewater that's the source of fun today.

Yes, Rockwolf66 has made it to 40.

I honestly had a suspicion that I would have been dead or in jail by now. While yes the statute of limitations is up no I don't want to talk about my own criminal activities over the years.

No there is not a Mrs. Rockwolf yet. Where I work has enough crazy people that marrying a redheaded stripper names Tiffany would be a sane choice.

Still I have found a new half-Sister, who needed family. That said I am still the sibling with the least number of police reports connected to ones name.

Since the local Hospital already knows I'm having a birthday. I guess someone needs to call the fire department and the National Guard.

It could also use the 15mm BRG round. it's a full bore 15mm round in the same nitch as a 14.5mm KPV.

Well late than never, 2020 was a shit show, but healthcare is recession proof and I've been exposed to thing far deadly. Still alive and figuring out how to expat because I'm just about done. 

 

Love ya,

Alas we never got together after I moved to Oregon.

I hope they treat Blade runner better than they did Twilight 2000. I was a playtester on that and they butchered the original game setting.

Honestly I think actually naming weapons are an important part of Cyberpunk and think the generic gun aspect of RED was a mistake. It an important part of Style over Substance! A player never has a generic 9mm, he has a Militech Arms Avenger. The shopping list aspect of it is important part of the RP. The mechanics shouldn't complicate things, but the appearance should. 

Its a way to get past the D&D "I am a fighter with a longsword and Chain Mail" type of playing where the characters are interchangeable and they dump their gear once they get a +1 kill stuff magic item.

Yup as La Aracrana does not simply have an AK rifle. She has a custom built rifle by her gurlfriend Lexie Raven that has some really nice options that put it above some Chinese Type 56 that came up from Central America via Vietnam.

The range is a bit shorter too, but maybe not, as extended range would still be the book 1600m.  Watching videos of this monster being fired, to hit something at 1600m would be quite the shot!

Not really, I actually have a paper on the long range accuracy of 40X53mm projectiles. The thing limiting an Automatic grenade launcher is usually the sighting system. While wind drift is a factor it's usually people misjudging the distance that's the issue. The round itself will hit targets at ranges over 2km.

Somewhere on this forum I think I posted a "Corrected" version of various Max metal Weapons.  Instead of "generic" weapons I used the stats for IRL weapons as a base.

A westmarch game is one where It's player driven and whoever is there groups together to adventure.

In this case the PCs start out at say a nightclub and decide to go out and do something. they then end up back at the nightclub at the end of the adventure. Whatever they did affects Night City and if another group goes to that same area they see the results of that previous adventure.

I hope to get a small group of GMs and a pool of players and set them loose in Night City.

Hey all,

On the Discord fan group someone asked about a Cyberpunk2020 Westmarch. Since there did not seem to be one I have made one. I am now trying to find both GMs and Players.

I am starting out with the Official places in night city and the PCs conapts. After that it's wherever the Gms and players want to go.

I’d rather have that fully loaded then a box of .45 ACP and an angry demeanor. 

I have ammo cans of .45 ACP.  the issue is resupply.  It's not fun when you can only find less than a chest pack of AK ammo. I think I need to get back into Airsoft.

Once upon a time we bought ammo for the guns we had, now we buy guns for the ammo we can find....  oh how my grandson will enjoy me telling that story over and over.  Not quite as dramatic as the trek my grandfather had to make just to get to and from school every day, but I'm sure it will be just as eye-roll inducing.

 

So since all I can find is .32 ACP I need a Vz. 61 then?
