Yeah, a HMG has internals that are (as far as I know) quite a bit like those on a LMG or MMG. That's why I didn't mentioned anything but an LMG. Had I mentioned "with internals similar to HMGs", that could've been taken to imply that autocannons are included.
A semi-automatic small-caliber cannon is not very different from a semi-automatic large-caliber rifle. Compare Barret M82 vs Barrett Payload Rifle, or NTW-20 in 14.5x114 and 20x83.5. AFAIK, an assault cannon is still a personal firearm with internals very similar to those of a semi-automatic rifle, albeit at a far larger scale. I've got hands-on experience with an NSV-12.7, but I've got no idea what the internals of one look like. From the way it works, I guess the internals might actually look quite unlike what LMG internals look like. But I'm not sure, better wait for word from someone who has handled the insides of those kinds of weapons (I've spent enough times with the internal organs of a LMG, but never with anything bigger than that). In any case, revolvers, pistols, SMGs, ARs and bolt-action, fully automatic, semi-automatic, pump-action, lever-action and single-shot rifles and shotguns as well as LMGs and MMGs (GPMGs) should certainly be included, most likely assault cannons as well. [Edit]Way to change opinions midway through a post, me! So, uhh, I really haven't got a clue what the internals of a HMG look like. They might look almost exactly like those on a belt-fed LMG, or they might look very different. All that other stuff still stands, though.[/Edit] This post has been edited by Austere Emancipator: Jan 28 2004, 03:26 PM |

I'd rule that tinkering with a Nuclear Reactor requires it's own seperate skill.
It's too intense a subject to be lumped under group headings (IMHO). Mostly because I know a guy who was trained as a nuclear tech on a sub. :grinbig: -Siege |
