I've gotten them to operate without guns occasionally, in Europe or other places where guns stand out too much. On one memorable occasion, a PC was in a bar in St. Petersburg where there were several organised crime members with bodyguards. The PC heard in his comm gear that their survaillance team had been compromised through bad luck and he knew that he had only seconds until the guards would grab him as an obvious stranger. He drew a ceramic knife from a hidden sheath and slashed the throat of a one guard. He then turned him around to make a shield from the others around him, drew the guard's Guyrza pistol and shot three men dead. Then he walked out. We were stunned for a few seconds by the ferocity of the PC's solution. The other players were expecting him to run. ;)

The P7M8 is more concealable. Quote:
Just have an armorer go over the internal mechanism to ensure reliability (Fine). It also helps when you can pick up ammunition from the enemy. Any AK-type firearm would not be very useful at long ranges, but then, neither would an M4. In GURPS-stat terms, though, I seem to remember even a 5.56mm carbine having superior 1/2 D range and maybe even accuracy to both the AK-47 and AK-74.

Re: Equipment of Choice - Modern Forces?
the G 36 series isnt to recomend for prolonged activities......
Its pretty sensible for hits, if you dropp it or hit accidently some thing the the aiming changes, qualifiying for an accuracy drop of one or 2 till u get profience with the new aiming. I have shot it in my time at the german army, its not as cool as it looks at the paper, caue u have to be real catious not spoiling the aim while crawling or other military activities.

Is that the fault of the sights or the gun? Could it be fixed by Loc-tite or similar? Are the sights more or less rugged than the British SUSAT?

Re: Equipment of Choice - Modern Forces?
To Icelander.
Regarding the Walther PP .380 ACP. maybe "tiny round" is is accurate at short range at jus clasic designe. Have not fired the HK P7M8/13 but I have handle it and it is great! 357 sig. our game stats are 3d-1. Nice enough :) |

If the PC is as good as Bond and the rules of the world are very cinematic, then the PPK is a fine weapon. If the PC is not necessarily a brilliant marksman with any pistol and might have to fire in darkness, while stressed and at more than one moving target; but still needs to achieve immediate stops in a short time, he needs a heavier round and a higher ammo capacity.

I suspect that from a GLOCK 31, the 3d-1 is accurate or even a bit conservative, but how about compact and sub-compact guns? The P229 is listed as 3d-2, which is meant to represent the lesser velocity achieved with a shorter barrel, but a HK USP Compact does not lose any velocity in 9mm, .40 S&W or .45 ACP. In GURPS 3e RAW, the stats are somewhat inconsistent and the .357 SIG is the main victim.

I like what they did with their proposal for the M4/M16. Didn't they do something with the AUG for the Australian army? Only downside, to paraphrase the H&K motto, "In a world of compromise, not compromising is expensive." |
