There was no point in not using them anymore, but they simple weren't worth the expense anymore. Too easily destroyed from the air, not mobile enough,...

That's second world war though, so they might still be somewhat useful for us.

[Dorsidwarf]

Depends on if this war will become Trench warfare. If it does, we certainly dont have a big enough army.

[ICBM pilot]

and my machine guns would help compensate for that.

[Dorsidwarf]

So would mine. (no. 20.)

The reason my one seems to have more votes might be that 1) I described it more and 2) It's name is a pun.

[ICBM pilot]

is it semi auto or full auto?

[Aseaheru]

Erm... If it can be semi auto it can be full...

[Dorsidwarf]

The belt-12 Self-repeating Gun will run until 1) you run out of ammo belts or 2) The barrels overheat and you don't have spares.

[ICBM pilot]

you mean that one you pull the trigger it won't stop shooting until you run out of ammo?

[Aseaheru]

Thats the definition of a machine gun.
Well, close enough anyways.

[Ukrainian Ranger]

We need OOC thread, because votes are drowned in da flood

[ICBM pilot]

it's to hard to keep up with multiple threads, if you want I can keep track of votes designs and proposals.

[Aseaheru]

Do we have an OOC one?

[Dorsidwarf]

Not yet, I don't think. If we do, I have never seen it.



I dislike the idea of a separate thread.

[10ebbor10]

Same for me, there are hardly enough people to keep the main thread afloat without the discussions.
