Okay, so here goes. It occurred to me that an easy way of toting military hardware around the 'plex is to put that SMG or rifle in a duffel bag. Now, it won't pass muster with any sort of sensor, and most checkpoint guards and bouncers will want to check the inside of the bag, but for everyday carry it should theoretically work.
My question here, as someone who doesn't own guns, is what the limit is in terms of size. I'd imagine length would be the primary limit, and I looked up the M16's length and it's 39 inches long. Now, that's the fixed stock version, so I'd imagine something with a collapsible or folding stock (or a bullpup gun, which would have a shorter length overall) would be easier to fit. I doubt 40 inch duffel bags would be hard to find, or all that noticeable either.
So, here's my question. How should I work this into concealability rules? The way I figure it, barring the gun imprinting on the bag itself all onlookers would notice is that there's stuff in the bag, which doesn't strike me as suspicious at all.
The only downside I se is that it'd probably take a Complex Action or more to ready the gun in a pinch. Actually, I'd say probably five Complex Actions (to unzip the bag, and then ready the gun). Does that sound fair? Too much? Too little? Thoughts?
