Man Usable? Man Functionable?

I don't think so, since it is very obvious that MMG and HMG are meant to use reinforced mounts.

In theory, all weapons that double recoil should require a reinforced mount. That's the simplest definition. LMGs would be the exception that proves it.

Of course, it may have been intended that any weapon appearing in the listing prior to a LMG qualifies for a standard mount while all weapons appearing after it qualify for reinforced. Strangely, I find this logic the most consistent with how the books have been written.

Pretty spot on. Except that "100,000 meters" is actually "100,000 feet" which are not anywhere close to the same.

100,000 feet and 53,658.14 meters.....

You need a planet gun.

Not a gun mounted on a planet. A gun that shoots planets. As ammo.

How about a gun that shoots galaxies?

Then again, I can see a distinct lack of targets needing that kind of firepower to bring down. That and the recoil would be staggering.

That's what we call a Big Bang.

I give you THIS:

One farmboy in an X-wing will critical glitch that magazine...

Farmboys have been a threat to our military for too long, I say! As a solution to this problem, I present to you... The Deathstar Launcher Launcher!

That's why instead of a Deathstar Launcher Launcher of even a Deathstar Launcher, instead I present to you the "Sun Crusher Launcher".

Congratulations, you have built a Class C Stellar Engine.

So we went from full auto weapons to Solar catapults...

I think we derailed this thread. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/grinbig.gif)

Wait. What? The Sun Crusher was a superweapon from the Star Wars universion. Except it was much smaller, virtually indestructible (required putting it in a black hole to get rid of it), and destroyed suns rather than planets. Thus a Sun Crusher Launcher would be a vastly smaller construct than a Death Star Launcher and the ammunition to the launcher is a much smaller construct as well.

invalid, this thread has been derailed. lol

How? I mean seriously, what made it indestructible? They covered the exhaust port with a sideways cover so no direct hit could be made?

The blood of younglings.

A space vessel built by humanoid beings using normal technology needed the sacrifice of babies to do it...

When did SW move from SW into Chtulhu territory?

My mistake.

That's my way of answering, "I don't know what they did or how it's supposed to work so I'm just going to say magic."

And come on, it was the Empire that built it. You know the same Empire that built the Death Star, Galaxy Gun, and World Devestators?

The same Empire which was ran by the Sith who were also known for creating a couple super weapons.

Is it really so hard to believe that they sacrificed babies?

No, rather that they built something that couldn't be blown up by using a conventional torpedo or ramming it.

They built things at absurd scales that you literally couldn't miss if you tried.

Just to LAND on one of those things with a huge explosive device would be rather simple.

Except for the Suncrusher, which was not much different in size than a Y-Wing.

So a large area explosion and/or emp blast should take care of it unless it had plot shields.

I mean, the planet killer was just a hyperspace missile that a interdictor should be able to pull out of hyperspace.

It had plot shields. Could not be damaged. Sat at the heart of Yavin (you know, the Jupiter Sized Gas Giant) for a while and was still in pristing condition.
It was punched through the entirtety of a Star Destroyer and was still unscathed. etc.
