alright i have a proposal for the next turn

Spoiler: The M-1 Machinegun (click to show/hide)

The Machine gun MK1 or the M-1 Machinegun
Weight    12 kg (26.5 lb)
15 kg (33.1 lb) (with tripod)
Length    1,219 mm (48.0 in)
Barrel length    627 mm (24.7 in)
Cartridge        7.62×54mmR
Action    Open bolt, Recoil-operated, Rotating bolt
Rate of fire    900-1000 rounds/min
Muzzle velocity    762 m/s (2,500 ft/s)
Effective firing range    1200+ m
Feed system    50/250-round belts, 50-round drum, or 75-round drum magazine with modification
Sights    Iron sights calibrated to 2000 meters in 100 meter increments.

Note this is for next turn I just want to see if you guys like what I'm going for with this, this would give us a gun to fit into our planes and can be used by ground troops.

This project also includes the modifications required to each ship to fit these new torpedo's. launcher design.

(Im not giving you lot free refits for ships. Those are special projects that need workers and designers)

2x40mm AA gun (mounted rear)
2 ATHM1933 mounted forward / 1 AATSM1933 'HiLo'
6x Lewis Guns aa

D6.2 Using 21in torpedoes

F1 Get someone to import manpower


 Also, on the ammunition front (which includes torps), for the most part you only have limited stocks of ammo for the weapons you started the game with. In the case of torpedoes, they are whatever was dumped at the island and on the ships when they where initially brought over, so the design could be 20 years old.

 Oh, also, reverse engineering designs (say, taking apart one of the tank guns so you can make it and its ammo, or taking apart some .45 or 9x19mm ammo so you can make some yourselves, or doing the same with captured/wrecked equipment) will be a "short" action. I.E., a free action that costs a worker or eight. There will not be a roll for this, but it does take up workers. If you want to improve whatever it is, it is then a standard design action. If I feel it is a bigger project (taking apart a massively damaged aircraft/tank/ship/weapon/whatnot to reverse engineer it) it will be a standard design action.

I didn't vote for the SMG. But yes to 45. caliber firearms.

Pending further votes and time, it looks like the proposals that will go ahead are:

Sidearms in .45
longarms and machine guns in 7.62x53mmR

Single line naval
four ammo factories
big-ass smallarms factory (Depending on the rolls, this may wind up being smaller than C3.2...)

Bigass bomber
18in torps we can make
Shockwave FAC

As a note, the Shockwave is barely  scraping past. All it would take is one person shifting a vote.

Anyways, I probably will be officially moving this on in two days.

Oh, and a suggestion for workers: I suggest creating teams of 5 or so designers, which then can be snapped onto whatever project you all think is worth it. For instance, half the aero dudes and some basics may be "aero team A", which when there is a bomber going about gets lumped with "Material and electronics team A" for work on a new bomber.

+1 Much less fiddly.
