Most machinegun pintle mounts are 360 degree capable.

[Aseaheru]

All turrets, save where blocked by things, are 360 degrees capable.

[NullForceOmega]

I was specifically talking about real-world pintle mounts.  For some reason spellcheck doesn't like 'pintle' so I suppose the more modern 'cupola' would be more accurate.

[Aseaheru]

Cupola ones are normally enclosed, aren't they?

[n9103]

Congrats. You two just got confused over the actual names for armored and unarmored manned turrets.

(RE: Fortifications) Have you played with the horde system yet? Unless you *do* fortify quite well, your base *will* be overrun for any significant brush with a horde. (I suppose just scraping a couple of the outer tiles of the horde could be survivable without fortifications.)

[NullForceOmega]

Nope, a quick search shows me that while the mounts are clearly different, they are both what I was referring to.  Pintle is the open mount, post-type.  Cupola is encircling mount, with or without full enclosure.  Either one would require substantially more than just the weapon to be capable of autonomous fire, including actuators, targeting systems, and full-self loaders (unless you want to keep reloading the box non-stop).

[Sean Mirrsen]

The most basic "mount" is a pivoting holder for the weapon, which still needs some work to make.

Also, latest experimental caused me to suddenly have a large stockpile of Glock 19s, among other things. Fun glitch. Maybe I should go back to the stable version for now, at least until I've done the moving and organizing of all my crap into the battlewagon.

[BFEL]

However large its caliber, it should not be able to identify targets, rotate, and fire on its own. All I need to have right now in order to install a fully autonomous M2 Browning turret onto my vehicle, is a welder and the M2 Browning machinegun itself. I find the DIY turret kits of the vehicle expansion mod to be far superior in spirit.

Clearly this is a early FPS type gun. The kind that floated in a green aura and gently rotated until you picked it up.

I believe this neatly explains everything.

I, uh, raided a house. Amongst the loot I found cigs, a glock and some 9mm ammo, and a, uh, wolf suit. Are wolf suits still great like I remember reading about?

Sure

I think the martial arts master profession is worth more than the 6 points it costs.
I'm all like,
ATATATATTTA-KAPOW against zombies, and just slapping manhacks out of the air with my bare hands. It's so ridonkulous that I'm less dangerous when carrying a machete than my bare karate hands. Way better than bionic sniper if you ask me.

Yeah, it's kind of a silly fun mode for me. If only you are able to stun on hit, you can reasonably take on a horde and win without much damage, with clever positioning.

As someone who keeps on using Martial Arts in all her games--Yes, your theory is validated.
Pair it with Quick and Speed-y qualities and characteristics, and you can easily survive the first week (sans meeting Hulks.)

(And the Spiritual perk, too. As far as I know the version I'm using, reading a book quickly + fast reader = 33 nice morale points. Read it thrice and gather those books...)

That's why I like the cudgel. It stuns, like, every other hit.

How does farming work? I have the seeds and tilled ground. Just no idea how to plant em.
