Parts. Here in California, they are illegal.
I am *not* commenting on if that is good bad or indifferent, only reporting the facts.

BlueMax

Last I checked the semi-auto was even legal, if you can a) afford it and b) find it. The ammo isn't "easy" to obtain, but neither is it impossible or illegal. Fact is, there are other weapons I'd trully rather own FIRST with that money.

*sighs*

I just need to find somebody willing to part with an H&K MSG-90 for less than my first-born and my left arm.

American Gunlaws are so crazy (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif)

Why go with that childs toy, if you can have the grown up version?

^^
Yeah, Germany is STILL good in building awesome stuff ^^

*blinks*

Um, because I want to be able to a) carry it b) maneuver with it c) practice with it at the range d) afford to feed it regularly and e) not wind up in prison for trying to buy it.

Besides that?

He may be posting in Character. For a troll, that is a compact assault rifle.

BlueMax

Now if only Arsenal had introduced a Man-Portable belt feed I would be happy. Unless I missed something. Honestly, they introduce Drums but no belts?

Okay...

*Kerenshara blinks*

"Um, because I want to be able to a) carry it b) maneuver with it c) practice with it at the range d) afford to feed it regularly and e) not wind up in prison for trying to buy it."

"Besides that? I know a big strapping troll like you could handle the first couple, but you have to admit the damned thing's going to have a hell of an apetite and expensive taste in food. And besides heading to the Z-Zone shooting gallery, it's hard to find a quiet place to practice with the damned thing."

How's that?

Well, yeah, okay . . there MIGHT be that . . but come on . . telling someone to back off if he doesn't want to make business with your fully automatic assault cannon is close to being worth it ^^

*Batts her eyelashes innocently at Stahlseele*

"But Stahl, I would have thought your big, strong trollish physique would be enough to keep any trouble maker from wanting to make business with you..."

Thats only a fully automatic grenade clauncher.

Looks like one of the new light 30mm GLs from the pictures, and those are basically low pressure (read: short range) autocannon.

There has always been a little scale wonkiness in SR firearms. If you play RAW your troll is either totting around a regular sized HP with a gigantic cartoon grip or a gigantic pistol with a tiny little barrel...

*snickers*

Well, Stahlseele? Which is it? Big handle with a little gun or a huge gun firing teesey weensey bullets?

Do you have the Ral Partha lead Troll? I have about 4. He is carrying a belt fed machine gun as his SMG and in his other hand he is carrying an SMG as a Automatic Pistol.

Its a WONDERFUL miniature.


BlueMax

*sniffs*

Gouda? Limburger? Roqufort? Velveeta?

*sighs*

There are actually times I occasionally miss the bad old days.

Why is it cheesy? Its just appropriately scaled.
It may be Velveeta like, as Velveeta is NOT cheese.

BlueMax

No, it is a "processed cheese food" by Federal law. Doesn't mean Velveeta can't be termed as "cheesey", otherwise Kraft would have been shut down by the FTC LONG ago. *grin*

I have been told, but proved to the contrary.

"It's not easy, being cheesy."

/you just use milk and wait.
//sour milk in my case.

*groans in pain*

OK, New Rule: you have to change your name to "Chester".

Well, yeah, of course most people don't mess with a troll . . but there are circumstances where they seem to forget the difference somehow . .
Also, Big gun with tiny little bullets. Do you know what a bother it is to get them into the clips with these hands? But it'd be too damn expansive to get bullets in Troll-Size.
Guess i'll have to try and mod me one of those barrets into a handgun too . . . that looks about right.

Try reading a book called "Vorpal Blade" by John Ringo. (First book in the series was "Through the Looking Glass"). For one character, their armorer does exactly that.
