Tabac?Iberez said:Does this technically count as fanfic or as extended universe since we're still writing the book this ties into?
N.Now said:Because this is Smugcat.moe, and I already had a setting where I had cat people, this is essentially going to be Beads and Brass running on the SACQ format. This is happening because I'm bored and I'll attempt to provide background information as necessary for both projects so that you don't have to read all of the Beads and Brass anthology.
Tabac Iberez said:You forgot to mention my presence, which much like a bad case of the catnip fever, will not go away and offer "helpful" advice to people who need setting help. For example, one piece of helpful advice is that the Yrcen, or cat people, are much more physically durrable, so such "features" as full auto fire in 7.62x54R is not nearly as much of a downside to them.

Tabac?Iberez said:Your budget is, IIRC, somewhere around twenty four pounds of gold, $500 USD from rent, and whatever Wyta's husband has in a locked box in Alaska that he refuses to talk about. It might even be guns.

It's more a few kilograms of gold, a bit more than $500 from rent, and yeah, whatever else you can scrounge up from myriad sources.Tabac?Iberez said:Your budget is, IIRC, somewhere around twenty four pounds of gold, $500 USD from rent, and whatever Wyta's husband has in a locked box in Alaska that he refuses to talk about.

Whiskey?Golf said:Oh thank fuck finally a Small Arms quest that I can actually take part in because it's set in the present day, as opposed to the interwar era which i know nothing about.
On the one hand while the catpeople are indeed better able to handle things like full auto 7.62mm NATO rifles, I think for starters we should try and at least get our feet wet with the stuff our American allies can contribute. So M4A1s that fell off the back of a truck. I mean, the USMC's moving over to that nice shiny new M27, surely they can give us some unused M4A1s...

Remass said:I feel we should get a proper vote format going, because it's useful when you've got a lot of voting going on, but I'll go with the existing options for now.
That said, if we want COTS, I'm pretty sure there are a few commercial operations selling rifles chambered in very large rounds, though I don't know of any myself. Their offerings may be a bit too expensive, but I don't really know for sure.

N.Now said:I have pen and paper, that will be what I'm running with for now.
Also, yeah, your buys are like on par with a local police department, they're not really big enough to justify custom work.
Remass said:I'll have to agree with the position that 5.56 just doesn't seem like it's enough to expediently do someone in (and isn't that a sentence) - while 7.62 soviet is an option, it's not the best option, and needs to be bought properly rather than just taken from the Americans, which is IMO preferable at this time - eventually homebrew ammo and guns is preferable, but since all these options come from the america-controlled portal, there's no practical difference other than that one doesn't need to be purchased proper.
