My day just isn't complete until I get 403 forbidden right down to root level.

[Arethusa]

Definitely on your end. Downloaded it five minutes ago and just tried it again; working fine. Try a download manager?

[Kagetenshi]

I think it just didn't like that I was clicking on it as a link. Copy/pasting the URL worked fine.

There's a portion of this clip in "Bowling for Columbine", I think. Either that, or it was popular on the Internet several years back, because I've seen it a hojillion times. As if the kid in the video could actually walk around with that much metal on him.

Then again, I've known some folks with DnD characters like that. :-P

[Raygun]

What would really be funny is if he pulled a little car out of his pants and 15 clowns piled out of it.

Notice how he wasn't walking around any, as in all likelyhood he would be detected in all of three seconds via the obviously uneven gait, klinking and clanking, and trying to keep his pants up while being weighed down by about 25-35 pounds worth of loaded guns.

Silly.

[Kagetenshi]

Not only would it be funny, it would also be following the Shadowrun vehicle size rules.

That fact did not go unnoticed. However, it might be call for a bonus to conceal for being stationary.

I was laughing the whole time. It's obviously impossible for this to actually be an effective means of concealing weapons, but it's fun, and it does illustrate how easy it should be to conceal a weapon or two with the right clothing— something Shadowrun manifestly fails to take into account.

[Shadow]

That was like the scene in Mad Max 3. That kid was as well armed as any Shadowrunner could hope to be. He had a good job.

[Mortax]

:rotfl: I think I've played a char that carried that much heat before.

Then again, he had 3 cyber guns, a monowhip finger, and wore a duster.
(1 cyber gun in each arm, 3rd in the leg.)

He has plus 1 pants of holding.

[Smiley]

Yeah, let's see him try to walk with all that shit on him.

[Nikoli]

Forget the shotgun and you have an impressive collection. I think I have had Rifts characters like that, much faster to draw another than reload...

[Mortax]

Is that a shotgun down your pants, or are you just happy to see me?

[DocMortand]

Bah - I would have been more impressed if he was carrying around a Vindicator stuffed in his pants.

I couldn’t download it myself. It sounds like one the teacher showed us in a security guard choice, he was going on about weapons in schools and included a full length shotgun in his trousers.

The teacher said that he had seen people pull of similar stunts, not necessarily the quantity but as big an assortment of weapons as you could actually use, including the shotgun down the trousers and you wouldn’t know it to look at them, of cause a badly performed pat down search will fond it. And they will have some difficulty running

This is the kind of thing he said that you should be watching for because once in a blue moon somebody will do it.

I tried to get instructions on how to hide the katana in the trench coat but he decided I didn’t need to know but he did tell me it could be done without great difficulty.

I definately didn't see the shotgun coming. Heck if it was a sawed off with a pistol grip he might have been able to walk. But it's very easy to conceal weapons on your person. A friend of mine in law enforcement has a holster for his 44 mag that you couldn't tell it was there just looking at it, and I'm talking 10" barrel dirty harry 44 mag. I guess thats the real world equivalent of a concealable holster. Hell buy a coat on size too big, or have it cut wide in the shoulders and a shoulder rig is virtually undetecable, provided it's a reasonable handgun(not to be confused with a hand cannon).

[Demosthenes]

And a .44 magnum isn't a hand cannon? :eek:

[Lindt]

I was entertained till the uzi showed up, the .12 ga was just comedy gold.

[Smiley]

When that kid tells you to give him your lunch money, he ain't kiddin'.

[Arethusa]

[Kyuhan]

I almost fell out of my chair with laughter when he pulled out the shotgun. :rotfl:

[The Grifter]

[Kyuhan]

I don't think the point was to show how much you could carry, just that so many different things could be carried so many different ways and still maintain concealability.

[Aku]

what amazes me also, is the kid is actually wearing pants the semi fit him, no belt even needed!

[The Grifter]

Agreed.

Another note, on the subject of the katana in the trench coat. I'm a huge Highlander fan, and collect swords. I've tried this trick, and the ony successful way I could find was to place the bottom of the sheath on the inside hem of the coat's bottom, and slightly tuck the hilt under your arm. But unless you're standing still, it's painfully obvious you're hiding something. remember that scene in the beginning of Highlander where Conner is watching wrestling, then goes into the parking garage to fight that Polish guy with the rapier? Tell me how he managed to fit into a seat in a maximum capacity crowd at Madison Square Garden with a katana under his coat?
