Firearms and after market add ons., how much is too much? Options

[kevyn668]

The core rules state that most rifles and most SMGs can have one top mount, one bottom mount and one barrel mount. Makes sense, space wise. So if we go strictly by the core rules, would it be correct to say that if a weapon already has a barrel mount (say, gas vent) then that weapon could not mount an additional barrel mount (say, a suppressor)?

It seems that it is implied by the HK227 and the HK227-S (and the Colt Cobra, etc...) that there is only one slot.

Now I'm of the opinion that if (in the above example) the barrel mount "slot" is full, that's that. Unfortunately I seem to be in the minority. The only time I ignore my own rule is the Ingram M20t Smartgun. If I had my way, that thing would not come with the GV. Period. What the hell is gas vent anyway??

And about suppressors: if you have a suppressor, shouldn't that also do some double duty as a gas vent or muzzel brake or whatever?

Well I'm at it, pistols can't take barrel mounts, right? So how come everyone seems to have GV on his/her Pred?

Do we assume that you can have a Low Light and Thermo mag scope all in one and you could switch between the two with a button? Techology advancing to the point where you can place both systems in one's eyes and mental toggle between the two. Would you have a cost multiplier for this or just add up the prices?


Is the Under Barrel Weight actually look more like the extended barrels we see in films such as "Underworld"?

BTW, I think Rayguns Picanty (sp?) Railmounts are brilliant.


The reason I'm going off about all this is that I often see (and I am guilty of it all too often as well) a weapon that has the GV and suppressor.

I guess the counter arguement ( and what I use to rationalize to myself) is that gas vent is actually done "to the barrel" whereas a suppressor is atatched to "the end of the barrel."

Thoughts?
