  • 4th Edition Weapons Addition

    Create a new weapons addition for the 4th edition.

    HK417A2 13" Carbine : http://www.thesupplybunker.net/pdf/4...a2-13_v1.0.pdf

    I've added a couple of new things to the layout and used some of "William Miller" "MORROW PROJECT 4thEd REVISED FIREARMS COMBAT TABLES" posted to the Yahoo list about a year ago.

    I like the range table as it shows exactly how much damage will be done at various ranges, it also shows how long for the bullets flight to that distance as well.

    Let me know if you like this work.

    I like it but if you want interchangeable parts, why not just some variation of the AR-15 rifle or M-4 carbine

      No Bueno,

      Can't see it.

      Even disabling AdBlock on the Supply Bunker opens to a blank page. Does it dislike Firefox

        Just checked with Firefox 30 and it seems to work fine for me. Opens up a tab and then displays the PDF for me.

        You might be able to just save the link first to your computer and then open it locally.

          Any chance you don't have a PDF Viewer add-on for your browser

            I do. Just can't open it by clicking. I have to open it the alternate way Nuke11 describes.

              I suppose the case could be made for the Steyr AUG. With barrel change it is a Rifle, Carbine, or Light Support Weapon. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steyr_AUG

              This puts something distinctive in the hands of MP personnel that is neither US forces or Soviet forces.

                I think that if Timeline ever expands the Atlantis Project, the AUG might work. But a group for the U.S. would have some or most of it's issue U.S. gear.

                  The project would use US Gear for a few reasons, parts interchangeability with scavenged gear, common ammo, and people might shoot at people with foreign made weapons after getting nuked.

                    The 4TH edition expands some things and adds some that makes you go "".

                      The shotgun revolver doodad is kinda wacky.

                        How did you know that was the one I'm thinking of a few items, granted Gary Gore has a lot. If they wanted a weapon with different ammo the FN 5-7,P90 would be viable. looks like I'll be using the formula. Diameter in inches X muzzle velocity/50= E-Factor 5.7 is .224 I think.... I have the4TH Ed Ammo Encyclopedia and a borrowed Janes(the ungodly expensive version I keep away from my critters!)

                          They suck.

                          Because of BATF rules the revolvers must have rifling. Rifling is bad for shot patterns. So minimal (they call it micro-rifling) is cut into the barrels. In this way the manufacture has not made a Class 3 AOW (any other weapon) in this case a sawed off shot gun.

                          That micro-rifling that screws up the shot pattern (make a donut) isn't enough to really act well on the .45 Long Colt (.45LC) the old black powder cowboy cartridge of Colt Peacemaker fame. So that .45LC bullet has a tendency to yaw in flight. It veers off the point of aim and "Keyholes" the target aka hits broadside.

                          The only shell that works well, and really only works best at conversational distance, is the OOO (Triple Ought) shot shell. That is essential three lead balls. The rifling semi engages on the shot cup and the three balls separate randomly on exiting the barrel.

                          I despise the .410/.45LC. It is to me false advertising. These are not truly shotgun and perform poorly with shot; and perform poorly as a .45LC revolver too.

                            I looked online for The Armory, but they were all sold. I have some notes from one though!

                              If I am not mistaken. The Armory is a product from Kevin Dockery. You may have to go through him for a copy or download a bootleg scan.
