I'll drop back into RTD's.



Name:Tim White
Age: 28
Division: US Rangers
Gear: M1A1 Flamethrower 2 tanks, M1 Mortar, 5 Shells(1 WP, 1 FS, 3 Light Explosives, Look at the weapon page, ammo section for what they do.) Colt Model 1903 Hammerless, 5 clips. Ka-Bar. I suggest a Movement penalty of -2 for all the equipment, plus the fact that I'm carrying BOMBS on my back to make that more balanced. I noticed we dont have enough heavy firepowah, so here I am.
Short Bio: A hulking, 6 foot monster of a man from the big city. He doesn't talk much, and everyone likes it that way. But he stays calm under fire but cant communicate well when he as too.

Really interested in this, hope I can get in

A flamethrower alone weighed like 120 pounds.

Most soldiers today carry 200+ pounds of equipment. Usually across miles, or while jogging.

Do the fuel tanks, fuel, mortar, shells, and rifle weigh 80 pounds or less?

[mesor]

Not even close.

A soldiers full combat load is between 65-140 pounds in gear and at 140 pounds it's already bloody hard to move quickly for any period of time and thats with everything distributed for balance.

Gimme a minute I'm gonna work out the weight of his gear.

Dammit
I'm probably fucked
I looked up the gear in wiki, and yeah, about 120 for each.

What would you guys rather have, flamethrower or mortar?

I would say mortar.
We are assaulting a heavily fortified position after all. I doubt you'll be able to get very close to the enemy.

[mesor]

Your gear all together weighs roughly 165 pounds in weapons and ammo alone if you drop the M1 for the standard infantry mortar and assuming a reasonable number of clips for the pistol.
Then you have to factor in your clothes, your helmet, the standard kit back then not including weapons would of been a good 25-30 pounds more plus another 5 for clothes and helmet.

So your looking at 210+ pounds at least.

I'd say mortar, flamethrower is not meant for this situation, it's good for clearing a bunker but this terrain offers to little cover to use effectively.

[Persus13]

I'd actually say flamethrower. Mortar is great but your going to have no cover on a beach full of bunkers that you can't hurt. So if have the flamethrower and you can get to the bunkers, you're set to clear them.

[mesor]

He can use logs or tank traps for cover and the beach isn't totally flat it includes craters I'd assume.

Mortar should work if he gets a good cover roll.

[TCM]

Or you can carry everything provided you're some straight up huge muscle-man.

[mesor]

Yea just stay away from me, when you get shot I don't wanna be near you, your carrying explosives and fuel tanks, when you get shot everyone within 25 meters is going to die with you.
