They might be good, but they take a lot of room to use them right. I'll stick with the pistol.

All right, I'll keep the SMG around, although I still plan on using the pistol for most things. I'll not bother with the laser; it doesn't have dependable stopping power, and I don't like the idea of giving them a nice, bright line to follow back to where I'm hiding. Muzzle flash is visible enough as is.
And speaking of visibility, everyone seems to have a set of night vision goggles. I think I'll go augment my equipment; I'll be back before Mordel wakes up.

"I suggest one-eye. He hasn't said much since panzermunchie (or whatever) came in.

As for weapons, the SMG is a nice weapon, but I'm expecting to be crawling around on my belly quite a bit, and lining up a shot with an SMG from that position will be hard enough. With the pistol it will be easier and I can use a flashlight in the off hand. This is pretty much the same reason I'm not bringing a helmet. It will be hard enough to get through the tunnel in the bullet-vest.

As for ammo, I would assume the .45ACP is pretty standard for the .45's in the audience. If not, well, I'm not too attached to the .45 in my shoulder-holster, I could go with a different make. I stay away from laser weapons just out of practice. I don't like them."

Saberdance glances over at the monstrocity in three pieces in a backpack.

"Just out of curiosity, do you intend to fire that thing from that position? I'm just wondering, because if we get into a firefight, I'm not covering your keaster for the two minutes it takes you to reassemble it. And get a decent bullet for your pistol. Either an HVAP 9mm (Penetration) or a .45ACP (knock them down so they don't get up). I don't want someone shooting a plink gun when the fat hits the fire."

ooc: read generously, .45ACP is, obviously, the standard M1911A2 cartridge, but I'm assuming it (or its descendent) is the standard catridge for the 31st century .45 Automatic. I don't know the 31st century weaponry's complete etiology.

But my penis is bigger than your penis.

I can snap this beast together in 8.4 seconds, and hiding behind a rock..And my Luger is modified to fire HVAP 9mm. rounds.But if you insist*Runs to car and returns*This is a Mauser C-96A-2 fires a shortened .30 round.10 or 20 round detachable box magazine in front of handle.1 round or 3 round bursts.Would you prefer i use this???I am PanzerMaster Kurt, not panzermuchie

I realize that often my humor is quite understated arounf here, but considering PanzerMaster here is walking around with a %*#&$-in machinegun which I highly doubt can be effectively assembled in 8.3 seconds and decided to park a starship over the hole...

Surely people can see the humor in Panzermunchie.

Hmmm, night vission goggles are nice, but I worry that we're going to be walking along a dark corridor and FLASH...

At least my eyes will already be adjusted to the dark. Nonetheless, I'm happy to let the IR guys go first.

And though I doubt I will use it, I too shall carry an SMG into combat, but the Pistol shall still be my primary weapon.

More water, more food. We may be gone a long time.
