I can't find it anywhere, though it shows up in the builder and one of my PCs took it. Not in the Arsenal combined tables. Help please!

War! Has the AK-147. It's a Nanofax-built version of the AK-97 with a better shoulder brace.
Reading it from the fluff, (aside from the name, which I can come up with a reason for it being changed), I can see why they went that route.

AK-127 is in Arsenal 2070, German edition of Arsenal.
The book has a bunch of other cool stuff, too - hate Pegasus, not the players :3
Let me find my copy.

Aha, here it is.
Blah-blah-blah heavy, almost like a LMG, has two drums of 50 to 100 bullets, simple action to switch from one drum to the other, free if smartlinked; 6P AP -1 SA/BF/FA 12F 3250

Ahhhh, thanks. We don't have either of those books - player likely chose it using the builder only.
Much obliged.

Sounds like an
RPK-97, effectively.
Wait, re-read that, no, no it doesn't. Still, I want to put an RPK-97 in a game now.

Uh, RPK is in Arsenal already. It's an HMG, and the model number is not present.
CanRay

Yeah, I remember that now. I shouldn't be posting in my condition. The RL RPK isn't an HMG, however. More like a GPMG, but advancements and the usage of the same names and all happens all the time.
Perhaps I'll do a write-up of an RPK-97, which is just an unscaled AK-97 for a LMG purpose.

Sounds like it (AK-127) *is* an LMG, except someone put it in the wrong category.

Nope, RPK-HMG. Looks like they put a belt-feed and a high caliber (Probably the caseless version of their old 12.7x109 mm round) on a Kalashnikov-based design.
Really, can't fault them keeping with a design that just plain works!

Yeah, pretty much. Still, being an assault rifle, it uses a more popular skill.

Hm. It also means you can make it hypervelocity!

It also means it has closer range than the machine guns.

Ähem * hate CGL not Pegasus

Pegasus got the Ok from CGL .Don't ask me why CGL never made a PDF with the new Weapons.
the AK 127 looks a bit like a giant Penis though with its two Drum-Mags

Because...uh, CGL?
Besides, it's not just weapons, clothing and vehicles, too.
Also, everything ever, from pens to spaceships, looks like penises (penii?), if that's what you want to see.

Beta C-Mag. (Their website seems to be down or I'd link that.).

Yes, but that doesn't look like a giant pair of testicles for your penis extension that a rifle is inferred to be.

Uh, what. He said everything was complicated with the cars pdf, and never said anything on any plans to print the stuff from the German books.
Or am I missing something?

The cars ARE stuff from the German Arsenal. I just assumed this would apply to the guns, too.
Fatum
Mar 4 2011, 09:36 PM
Uh, hermit. There's how many, like, maybe five or six new vehicles in A2070 not in A. You can't make a book of those.
Besides, are you sure we're talking those same cars? How are you so sure about that?
hermit
Mar 4 2011, 09:49 PM
Stuff I was told by German writers (and to be precise it's 2 bikes, 5 cars, 2 APCs, and 1 drone, which IS enough stuff for a supplement, especially if you throw the two guns).
Fatum
Mar 4 2011, 10:03 PM
You forgot the Fattorina delivery truck, and I only see one APC (Wolf II) and two commando vans (Commando and Greif). And it's two drones (Shrew and Cyclone).
Anyway, the pdf supplements so far have much more stuff.
hermit
Mar 4 2011, 10:33 PM
Yeah, you're right. Maybe that's the complications. Or maybe the pdf guy wants to be paid with actual money.

He's not earning his pay, if you believe the chatter in This Old Drone thread.

CGL paid War's authors better money for worse work, though TOD is far from perfect. Also, he got better in MilSpec.
