Call to the Four Lands - OCC

[Rhun]

He decided he wanted to hunt rhinos, so he developed a 700 calibre hunting rifle, the rounds were described to me to be the size of pop cans. It can blow a hole in the tough exterior of a rhino. Their shop is located about a block from my office, so if the zompocalypse happens when I'm at work I'm heading there...

Sounds like he exaggerated a bit, since 700 caliber would be 0.7 inches diameter...and a soda can is about 2.25" in diameter. But it would be the size of a standard paint ball (0.68 inch diameter).

I have no doubt something like that could blow a whole in a Rhino or a house, though.

 

[Neurotic]

Good to have you back, JA. I'm glad everything worked out fine.

Now some personal experience:
there is a gun usualy mounted on armored vehicle on the swivel. I witnessed bullet from that thing go through outer wall of the house (about 1 foot of bricks) loosing it's copper outside shell while inner steel core went through two inner walls and embedded itself on the other side of the house going almost straight through.

True it is anti-aircraft machine gun, but ammo size is about human finger in all dimensions (but probably somewhat bigger with copper still in place)

That would go through whole herd of rhinos...but they are endangered and they should not be shot for any reason, we've doing enough damage as is.

 

[J. Alexander]

your proably talking about a 50 calibure heavy machine gun....hey are often used for antiaircrat.........perhaps a 20mm but the description sounds l ike a 50..

 

[Scott DeWar]

I have seen the ammo for a 28 mm vucan cannon. that is some impressive $h1_, er stuff. I have also seen a 50 cal sniper rifle and round. that is just plain scary!

the rhino round would probably make a whole the size of a soda can going in as it mushroomed against the tough hide.

7.62 NATO rounds can be altered to so some bad damage as well, but that is all I have to say about that.

I am sorry to deter this thread from its proper discussion of the zombieocolypse, but I have a d and d question:
Can a level 3 character have had the opertunity to have trained a mule to be not scared of supernatral creatures and not jump and balk at say, well as we have been talking about it: Zombies, without making a handle animal check?

 

[J. Alexander]

Sure you dm is feeling geneous tonight

 

[Scotley]

Renaulg,

Yeah handguns in Canada can be a real pain...the paperwork involved in taking one into Canada still gives me headaches just thinking about it.

And for the record I am a peace loving sweet individual who just happens to at one time collect firearms....but if ever accused of paranoia I will simply blame spending too much time with Scotley and Leif....Mowgli is just too mellow.....to install anytype or paranoia

No comment. I especially won't mention that college road trip where your penchant for handguns combined with my penchant for cussing and ranting at cops despite the fact that I was clearly in violation of the speed laws and a substantial purchase of large bottles of spirits in spite of our sub21 years nearly made us permanent guests of the state of Missouri's hospitality.

Oh and remember to wear your seatbelt next week, its the law.

Glad to have you back and even more glad to hear you mom is doing well.

You realize I have to road trip with JA next weekend, right? You're scaring me a little.

 

[Scotley]

You realize I have to road trip with JA next weekend, right? You're scaring me a little.

You should actually feel relieved that you are flying to Tulsa instead of Memphis. I was behind the wheel on the trip in question.

 

[Leif]

Cool, that's what I thought. We're more a rifle-type up here. Handguns are more restricted in Canada.

If they ever 'try' to restrict handguns down here, I PITY THE FOOL who draws the short straw and has to ATTEMPT to separate JA from his guns!

JA: Glad your mom is better!

Rhun: re: your coming road trip with JA -- Be afraid! Be VERY DAMN afraid!
