Private Cyrill Kowaltzki

To the quatermaster: "I will take a Hawkeye with some clips [number depending on the number of rounds per clip, I guess 5-7] and hand me 5 HE nades please. Here - you can have my Morita back."

To his squad members: "Looks like we have all the stuff we need. Does anybody know anything about this bug loving cultists? It's somehow creepy that humans want to control this things. Never mind...we will give them a good run for their money, after all we are the O M E G A...!!!"

[OOC: 1. Can someone please post the stats of the Hawkeye? If I know how much ammo is in one clip I can tell you how much I will carry with me. 2. I will be on christmas trip from the 23. till 27. but I think I will be able to post once a day.]

Edit:

BTW: here is is a pic from Kowaltzki during bootcamp

The Quartermaster replies.

"Well... if you're talking about these...", he says as he brings a large box to the front. When he opens it Mel can see various colored boxes of ammo. "We have these blue boxes, they punch a nice hole in bug shell, these red boxes that have an explosive tip and these yellow boxes that rip nice big holes in unarmored targets. Take your pick!".

All variants of ammo are available for the Morita and Hawkeye only.

Blue:
Armor Piercing round (AP): +1 circumstance bonus against target with armor or natural armor but -1 penalty to damage rolls.

Red:
Explosive (EX): +1 damage to pistol ammo and +3 damage to rifle ammo. Since these rounds are so expensive only 1 mag per trooper will be allowed.

Yellow:
Jacketed Hollowpoint (JHP): -1 circumstance penalty against target with armor or natural armor but +1 bonus to damage rolls.

The quartermaster says, "Oh by the way the Hawkeye has the following features."...

Weapon: TW-202-1 'Hawkeye'
Type: Rifle
Damage: 2d8
Crit: 19-20
Range/Spaces: 200ft/40
Burst: -
RoF: S, A
Mag.: 24
Size: Large
Weight: 8lbs

"Oh..." Melara lifts a red-tagged magazine off the table with a gentle, nearly reverent expression. "You just made my Christmas list. Hex bullets make Mommy Morita so -very- happy..."

She takes a clip each of AP and JHP ammo as well, then several clips of the 'usual.'

After a moment, she realizes that the underslung grenade launcher has radically changed the balance of her rifle, making her think twice about it.

"Hey, anyone know if we'll have range time to practice with this before we ship out? I'm gonna be kicking up some dust with this thing glued to my gun."

(does having an underslung GL affect the firing properties of the rifle? If so, can practice mitigate? Or do I have to take the appropriate weapon feat to use the UGL and rifle effectively?)

Touching the Hawkeye Cyrill says:"The sweetness...this baby is just the thing I was looking for. Combined with all this types of ammo the bugs better prepare for a tough ride!"

Cyrill takes the Hawkeye, one clip of each special ammo, 4 regular clips and 4 HE nades. He then gives his Morita to the quatermaster.

"Take good care for this rifle. It served me well during our last mission."

To Melara:"I got all the stuff I need. Let's head to the hangar bay [or wherever the squad will gather]. I'm eager to see some action!"

[OOC: IIRC you need an exotic weapon prof. to use the UGL or you will get a -4 malus on using it. You don't need a feat to use a personal firearm with an attached weapon.]

Mission 2. 06:00.

As the dawn breaks over the bustling launch station Kate gets the full 600 tons of metal into the sky. She always liked to fly the Black Knight Class Scout Ships as these ships were astounding at transporting troops and equipment speedily to a target zone. When the craft was above 100ft she steered it in the direction of the drop zone, "Ok, we're on our way. ETA 25 minutes to drop zone."

The squad are all strapped in their seats in the scout ship with the Gecko, with all their equipment, securely parked in the storage bay. The two M-8's standing to one side with Carina and Tank doing last minute adjustments.


On board the Gecko besides the troopers equipment will be.
5 medical kits
2 basic mechanical toolkits
2 search-and-rescue kits
1 surgery kit
50 field rations


OCC:
Is this equipment correct so far?
Jacob: Tinderbox + 2 clips, Peacemaker + 2 clips, Triple GL, 15 HE grenades. Let me know if they are M-901 hand grenades or M-298 HE rounds for the Triple GL.
Kowaltzki: Hawkeye + 1 AP Clip + 1 HE Clip + 1 JHP Clip, 4 regular clips and 4 HE M-901 hand grenades.
Mel: Morita + under slung grenade launcher + 1 AP Clip + 1 JHP Clip.

ooc:
mariusm, the triple gl fires the 901HE,902f, 904C, and 909S gernades according to my SRD. did it change with an errant that i need to get?

Private Cyrill Kowlatzki

Cyrill carries the Peacemaker with 3 clips as his sidearm.

[OOC: My girlfriend ended up in hospital last night I may have to end my x-mas trip to get to her. So it may be possible that I can't post for the next couple of days...sorry. I will post ASAP if I will be able to post.]

 

[Shayuri]

Melara also carries 5 HE hand grenades, and 3 extra (normal) clips for the Morita.

 

[Skrittiblak]

Carl loads up on ammunition for his rifle and pistol and grabs 3 HE, Frag and Chem grenades for this mission.

Seems strange.

I know it says this in the book but it seemed strange to me that the grenade launcher would fire the same grenade that was thrown by hand? I have just rulled it that the Triple GL would be like a modern 40mm grenade launcher using the M-298 HE rounds.
