I really like both of the first ones. The third is so pedestrian, I just can't get excited about it.

I think I like the idea of a machine shotgun more than a glass mortar, but I agree that glasstech sounds amazing for us advanced royals to specialize in.

Nah mate, don't write an air-powered machine gun, write a motorcycle that can be reconfigured into a machine gun emplacement. Or a mortar-pike for melee combat. You can go completely off left field here, as long as you stay within 'machine gun' or 'mortar'. Get creative, and I'll back you up if you hit on a good enough idea.

Could use this as a basic idea for it. Bikes with attached machineguns. A driver and a shooter for drive by strikes.

If you ask me https://i.pinimg.com/originals/77/fa/3b/77fa3b325495acd02586dc8c1cf42cef.gif this would make a more interesting submission to a mobile machinegun.

Main thing is man-portable. (Given the definition of mortar) Think that stretches the definition?

Not sure how that image works, some sort of self-adjusting gearbox?

Have some WW1 bikes deployed.

I have to be honest I can't answer how it works because it uses poorly defined video game logic. I just think if we're going for a mortar it needs to be mobile either as something light and deployable or heavy and motorized in some fashion, I prefer legs. Though if we went for a mobile design I'd rather go for some sort of rocket rifle than a standard mortar.

Though with legs in mind I bring forward my idea for a future truck

Czerwone kwiaty is the google-translate. Kot won't like.

The unicycle needs a gyroscopic stabilizer, but not a bad idea.


Ninja. A gearbox would work to provide continual motion. Something to provide Torque. And a balancer to a just to differing heights for the steps.
Would rather go for full 8 leg spider-mech though. Given snipers around. Being slow isn't ideal. Motorcycle MGs are WW1 era and are pretty cool and useful.

Won't mind voting for one if someone writes it up. I can make a basic description, but it's will just be: This is a motorcycle with a sidecar and a machine gun, with sturdy all-terrain treads good for mud or stone. Insert caliber here.

Well the snipers is why you give it a big shield.

Raises hand aggressively

I mean I'd prefer the glass mortar, but if it comes to a machine gun, I'd like to make it interesting, and making it move is a fun way of doing that

I'll say outright for it to be valid this turn it's got to not break down to vehicle with machine gun mount. Remember that this gun is supposed to be used to defend your line, you're not being told to make an assault bike.
