((I'm envisioning something working more or less exactly like modern firearm silencers.))

((I'm envisioning something working more or less exactly like modern firearm silencers.))

((Those are used to reduce the noise from the gas propelling the shot, if you use supersonic ammo, they don't silence that.))

[GreatWyrmGold]

((You're sure they couldn't do anything for the first part of the sonic boom, at least?))

[PyroDesu]

((You're sure they couldn't do anything for the first part of the sonic boom, at least?))

((The only ones that do lower the bullet's velocity as it passes through, making it effectively subsonic, but it's not as effective as a normal shot, and still have a distinct sound.))

[GreatWyrmGold]

((How would a subsonic round make a significant sound?))

[PyroDesu]

((How would a subsonic round make a significant sound?))

((It's still a chunk of metal passing through the air at significant speed. Just because there's no sonic boom does not mean that there is no sound. If you were to be shot at with subsonics, you would still hear the bullet passing by you.

"However, the numeric effectiveness of subsonic rounds is, again, misrepresented by media. Independent testing of commercially available firearm suppressors with commercially available subsonic rounds has found that .308 subsonic rounds decreased the volume at the muzzle 10 to 12 dB when compared to the same caliber of suppressed supersonic ammunition."

10-12 dB isn't all that much.))

[GreatWyrmGold]

((That really isn't much.))

[PyroDesu]

((Note - That's how much the noise was reduced, not what level the noise was reduced to.))

((I've kinda wanted to get in on this, but never really understood enough about it to feel confident writing up a character. Anyone want to give me a crash course, or direct me to one?))

[Lenglon]

((sure, one moment:First read the OP

now then, for our current activity:Mission Briefing

anything else you need to know?))

((Uncon and Exo can both be used to operate space magic as well as the more unusual weaponry (as well as monoatomic razors/swords), Con and Dex contribute to more... conventional weapons. Overshoots are bad.

What specifically do you have trouble with?))

((I can give you a more in-depth guide tommorow, but if you look over the First couple missions, you should get a good idea. The game has changed a bit in the past couple weeks, but the mission structure is pretty much the same out of plot elements. I can give you a synopsis of each mission tommorow.

Also, don't read the OOC, especially the 'Tinker' stuff. You won't make it if you do.

[Tiruin]

"...right. Yeah. Let's get to building it. Um. That was unexpected.

I, er, I've already made one for Auron Kell, by the way. Here's to hoping I've streamlined the process enough to reproduce it without issues."

"Ah. That's..that's good."

Feyri broke off from the hug quickly, composing herself as she noted the man's. . .apathy towards that.
Nice work sunshine. You should've brought a bouquet of roses too with your remaining tokens and a formal Thank you Anton card.
Yeah..not working out.
If you're going to fail, do it in style, is all I'm saying.
She straightened up and leaned over the schematics, looking over them while hiding her disappointment.
"Speaking of streamlining, if you've any bouts of ingenious intervention, could you try to improve the grip? Like, somehow make it less slippery? Compactness and all, I'd like to see if it can. . .fold up. For easier transport. You know."

Stupid emotions.

VR has crashed

Exit VR

Get Lyra's attention. Or Lenglon's.

"Um...Lyra...you remember when you were crying on the one robot person...was the person Miss Feyri?"

turn to face Grate, make eye contact for one second, then nod once. afterwards look down and too my left.
