Sure. So Amadou should be talking to his other two new squad mates right now.

Khaiden's one of them right? I have a hard time keeping track.

The armory and motor pool wikia page (http://castle-gate-raiders.wikia.com/wiki/Armoury_and_Motor_Pool) seems to have the in-doc talk attached to the bottom. In the same page, under small arms, the '5.7mm bullpup SMG' should be a '5.56', not 5.7. Also label it as a 'defunct' weapon. Also, you need to mark which weapons you get your first for for free.
I will say again: .45 ACP is obsolete. Too much recoil for fully automatic, does not penetrate as well as 5.7x28mm, and even when it does it hits harder but has less stopping power..

Here's evidence for any yank with more historic nostalgia than knowledge of physics:
Penetrating a metal plate - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJgDa-Ttk6Y

Even the proverbial greater stopping power is a lie, the .45 does a slightly wider cavitation bubble, but much shallower than 5.7 - it has so much energy that it tends to go through without dissipating it into the body (wastage and overpenetration); meanwhile the 5.7 fragments, loses more energy to the body (enough to stop penetrating) and tumbles all over the place.

After this I hope nobody is about to say "screw evidence, I know what I know", because factually .45 is obsolete!

I think Rune's the first intern to survive being in Dr. Tal's general vicinity intact.

Congratulations.

FYI don't let Khaiden know you were an Intern.

"Why?"

Uh, sorry Khaiden I didn't see you there.

"What were you saying about me and interns?"

Nothing...

"Didn't sound like nothing."

It was.

"Fine. Now what's that in your eye?"

What? There's nothi-AGH!!!

Icly. You do realize we're not dealing with an irl modern .45 right? We're dealing with a postmodern, recoil dampened gun that fires Exploding Smart Bullets. Very veeeeeery different.

Looks good. You'll prolly come in whenever Tal makes a panda Amalgam. Which shouldn't be Too long.

Khaiden has been briefed that randomly killing interns is punishable by termination of contract. If an intern happens to die due to an experiment that is clearly beneficial to Akras's database? That's fine. But murdering random interns for no raisen? Noooot gonna fly with Akras. That's wasteful.

It's OOC.

OOC Khaiden likes playing pranks on interns and killing the regenerating AI android that tries to warn them.

What? Firstly if you're destroying an android. That's gonna get you shot dead immediately by a number of killbots cause that's a clear attack on Akras.

Playing pranks on interns also sounds like a problem.

Rebolded stuff. Does the round not penetrate or overpenetrate?
Also, 5.56 is being used in-game, not 5.7
Also, the wound channel vid you put up? Proved the usefulness of .45 ACP. The only reason one of the two 5.7 rounds was more effective is because that particular round was designed to split into three pieces. Imagine the same technology applied to .45 ACP. In addition, clay does not simulate the bullet hitting something hard (ie bone) or transitioning between materials of different density.

In short? It's a bullet with higher stopping power (as shown in your vid that you put up) than 5.7 (let alone the 5.56 we're using).

My OOC posts are set in a Saturday Morning Cartoon Alternate Universe version of Akras, where things are lighter hearted and wackier.

That's a trick question. The real answer is 2,000 pounds of water jet applied directly to the circuitry.
