What do you think about a blowgun, then?

Yet another example of the need for a [not in my game] smiley. :D

Me either, I was just curious about where you draw the line with projectile weapons. I played in a game that had one and I thought it was pretty dumb.

:D :grinbig: :D :grinbig: :rotfl: ...In all seriousness, though, does anyone think that smartlinking a grenade launcher would do anything? I think it would only matter if the grenades were definitely impact-activatable... |

IIRC, there are specific rules for how SmartLinks interact with Grenade Launchers.

They're called GrenadeLinks, and they allw you to time airbursts perfectly as opposed to worrying about impact detonation. They are rather sweet.

I thought Grenade Links just allowed you to fire an underbarrel grenade launcher and the weapon it's mounted on at the same time...Ah well. Mainly I was referring to whether you'd get a better target number with the launch. And if Smartlink II-ing a grenade launcher would be practical. I think it'd be hard to make a headshot with a grenade launcher...
Edit: Never mind. A friend explained what the grenade link does. This post has been edited by Phaeton: Nov 26 2003, 03:38 AM |

man, i wish. none of my characters would do anything in combat ever again, except simultaneously lay down suppressive fire and launch grenades.

How about this little useless toy then.
Bracer Avail: 12 Cost: 1200 Damage: 6L Ammo: 1 TN modifier: +1 Conceal: 7 The rules say No accessories. Does that include a SL that doesn't even take a mount? You have a base TN of 5+ and you can fire 1 round. I'd rather take the Puzzler with a SL2 and Hi-C rounds instead of the above toy. So, does people ignore it when it goes through the MAD scanner and need a visual inspection with a TN of 7+ to see what it really is? EDIT: I forgot, the damn thing needs a SEPARATE skill to use as well. |
