I say we get unsually reliable for the machine gun.
I support the SVA-10 semi-auto(which was what i meant for the pidtol, forgot what it was called)
Refine the grenade design more before testing, we don't want dead engineers.
Lets design a shotgun for when fighting gets to close quarters. 12-gauge pump-action with a 4 shell capacity. Light enough to keep mobile when assualting buildings, trenches, bunkers, etc. 4 round to help lighten the weapon and 12-gauge as it seems to be a standard for shotties.
Maybe develop a decent ranged scope for our rifles. Nothing too fancy yet but its nice to have snipers.
I propose we have 3 different infantry types for now.
First: 65% of our foot soldiers as basic infantry with rifles and pistols. 1-2 grenades when we have a reliable design.
Second: 25% of our foot soldiers as assualt troops with a shotgun and pistol with 3-4 grenades.
Third: 10% of our foot soldiers as Snipers with scoped rifles and a pistol. no grenades to allow for more ammo.
Anyone objections to my infantry organization? Also, continue getting rid of rubble, and i support designing the badger, and rebuilding the shipyard.
I also think we need to organise (or at least recommend to the military) 10 man infantry sections which have 2 squad support soldiers with LMG's (when we have a working one). 3 of these sections makes a platoon. A platoon has 1 mortar and 2 MG's (when we have working weapons that fit these roles).
Also, i would suggest we eventually replace the Nagant with the SVA-10, so long as the SVA-10 is also long range, accurate and powerful.
I propose a squad automatic weapon based on these specs:
Weight: 22.83 lb (10.35 kg) (25lb-11.25 kg loaded)
Length: 42.9 in (1,156 mm)
Barrel length:25 in (635 mm)
Crew: 1
Cartridge: Same as Mosin Nagant
Action: Gas-operated, tilting bolt
Rate of fire: 500–520 rounds/min
Muzzle velocity: 2440 ft/s (743.7 m/s)
Effective range: 600 yd (550 m)
Maximum range: 1850 yd
Feed system: 50 round box magazine or 100-round detachable pan magazine
Sights: Iron
