Sakura Fubuki, and breaking my arm Options Track this topic Email this topic Print this topic Download this topic Subscribe to this forum Display Modes Outline Switch to: Standard Switch to: Linear+

So, let me get this straight, this gun, features 4 barrels, and holds 40 rounds split into 4 magazines.

So a pistol like a glock 17, ultra light weight materials, except for the barrel which is made of steel, its probably the heaviest part in the pistol not including the magazine, this has 4 barrels

then the magazine, heaviest part in a glock? probably. The Fubuki has 4 full magazines

then you can fire all the barrels in this weapon at once as a form of burst (is this correct, its how i read it)

So this is sortal like taping 4 glock 17 pistols together and firing them all at once.... in one hand

does this make sense? maybe it does, but i just feel like if you could hold it up for any period of time, aim accurately and pull the trigger, you'd probably break your arm with the recoil!

Maybe i'm wrong (dont have a heap of gun knowledge) but i have held a full pistol before, and they arent light!

They tell us that the recoil is less than a single barrel burst shot since all barrels fire as one - If reality agrees thats something else.

I would on the other hand classify this weapon as having the concealability of a HEAVY pistol since it has four times the barrels of a regular light pistol and aproximately twice the ammo.

You wanna have real fun? Modify the weapon to have X2 Clips and Improved Ammo Capacity.

8 barrels
12,5 shots per barrel or we just take 40*1,25=50 shots total X2

You now have a light pistol with 100 shots full auto.

Now you give it stick n shock.

No they don't. They tell us that the weapon has no moving parts, the ammunition is stored in four stacks and that the recoil is less. They tell us that only narrow bursts may be fired. They don't tell us how burst are fired. It could be just as well that first one internal magazine is emptied and then the next.

Not possible. The ammunition is not stored in clips. So you can neither have the extended clip mod nor the additional clip mod.

Right, the description has the bullets stored end-to-end within the barrels themselves, not on top of each other like conventional magazines. Based on the description I take that it uses caseless ammo only, and runs an electric charge at the first bullet in line to shoot. This would mean that for a short burst it fires one bullet from three of its barrels at the same time.

And judging by the artwork on the cover of Arsenal, I too would have issues with the Sakura Fubuki having a concealability of 0 when the slightly larger assault rifle above it has a concealability of +6. +4 for sure, maybe +2, but not 0.
