Reviewing the Illuminati plan, $144,000 was our small arms budget out of the combined stipends for users if someone wants to come up with a quick small arms proposal. His plan already includes radios, armor, helmets, shovels, and some rocket launchers, so we mostly just need guns.

I'm at work right now so I can't really take the time to do it, though I can draft something up like 6 hours from now if we don't have a budget plan by then.

Yes, people only need to buy personal weapons, attachments, hand grenades, and sidearms.

I would suggest that our DMR guy(s) get bipod(s) and that we buy at least one M203 but the whole point of the exercise is that each individual gets to kit himself out.

Since we'll likely have the cash I suggest we pick up the BAR and a Browning M1919 just for some heavy fire support. Might as well grab it now even if it's not immediately useful.

Yeah, nobody is faulting you for that. We didn't find out until after we voted that customization isn't on the table. No big deal.

I would request that we do pick up 1 870 though. It's not that expensive.

I second Popete's suggestion for the BAR. Beyond that, I'm mostly down for whatever people want.

I find it hilarious how there's 9mm supressors on sale when we seemingly have no access to anything using that caliber, yet.

Are we gonna be using them as throwing weapons? Fashioning them into nun-chucks? Placing them on the ground as booby traps for our enemies to slip on?


Also, we should totally get a couple PPSH 41s to hose down indoors with, even if they're going to be almost completely useless against any kind of armour.

Grab all the M16A2 and M16A2 203 and like 10 AK-74. That'll cover us for the most part. Then go hog wild on shotguns the BAR a Browning and a poo poo ton of grenades. Toss in a few RPG-7.

Maybe pick up 1 or 2 of the lasersights for our entry team? Could be useful in close quarters, though I have no idea what kind of bonus they convey in this system. We have some night vision goggles on hand so they might work with that if they're the right type? I dunno. Still useful for getting on target fast at close range.

[EDIT]
Oh, and yeah, lots of grenades.

Mario wasn't sure if this Jeb guy was a good influence on Yoshi.

What are those Galils chambered in, and how do they stack up against the M14 for something that can throw a longer range bullet so we have some options there?

I really want to end up on a crew served machine gun and will be training for it, but I think to supplement our M16s we want the following:

Probably about 3 marksman rifles of some variety (M14, M91 (semi G3 for the curious), or galil might do this job, give them a bipod and maybe a sight)

A longer ranged but portable automatic rifle to provide a base of fire at longer range while still more mobile than the M60. (I like the BAR okay)

Some carbines/subguns/shotguns for any close in fighting (M1, PPsH, Remington 870)

A grenade launcher or three for extra firepower. I really really like grenade launchers.

We might also want some M1s just because they're quite light and we can give them to ammo loaders or similar. As a placeholder weapon they're a good pick because they're still a gun but they're light and cheap as hell so it's not paying much to save weight.

Then get so many grenades.

Mario wasn't sure if this Jeb guy was a good influence on Yoshi.

Basically my thought is we may end up with the following jobs to fill:

Long range firebase. This wants a crew served weapon and likely some marksmen.

Longer range fire support in a more open, mobile context. This wants a more portable automatic weapon and likely some marksmen.

Medium range team for versatile uses. We've got the M16s for this, and some 203s would add a lot.

Shorter range assault team. Grenades, subguns and carbines.

CQC building stormers. Grenades, grenades, grenades, subguns and shotties.

I think my proposal covers all those (fire)bases. We don't need to be able to fit all the team out for each of those jobs but enough for a 4-6 man team in each should work well. For example, a 4 man assault team could use support from a medium range team for the external shooting while clearing a building, and some long range grenades in support.

LatwPIAT

Your sexy redheaded quartermaster recommends:


At the minimum:
2x M16A2 + M203
2x Remmington 870
2x M14
1x RPG-7
20x RGD-5
10x M67 FRAG
5x M68 FRAG
2x Harris Bipod
3x Laser Sight

Cost: 62500

Rationale

You have a medium machine gun, and you're all already armed with automatic rifles and have a sniper rifle in the armoury. The M14s with bipods add full-calibre automatic fire in a fairly light package to each of your fireteams (the Command elements gets the M60) to supplement your firepower. You get the RPG-7 in case you face some old tanks or something that needs blowing up, the M203's in case you want long-range explosions delivery, the shotguns are kept handy for a close encounter, and you get laser sights so you can get whatever accuracy bonus they grant.

Then you load up on all the grenades you can get because when your automatic riflemen are pinning down the enemy with automatic fire, the riflemen can approach and destroy the enemy with grenades, like they should.

10 M67 is $8000 not $5600

Honestly we can probably drop the PPSH as well. 140k is a lot so feel free to not use all of it, it'll go towards our next weapon purchase (QF-17).

Thank you, I had done the math correctly for the total it turns out but forgot to update the list. PPsh were there for a submachine gun class weapon for close range assault teams, i got the same amount of shotguns so we could mix and match as needed.

That's a pretty conservative buy that I think covers what we desperately need so it's a good minimum requirement, do you agree with my rationale for M1 carbines (cheap, light and unfortunately for us we couldn't just declare ourselves musclebound Adonises so pounds count)?

Also, we've got an M2 and I want it. So we've got that for laying down long range fire although I think we might want another M14 or two, and maybe a PPsH or two for the things they specialize at, although with shotties we're probably covered on the latter.

They are cheap, but not spending money on M1 Carbines when you already have M16A2s is free. The lowered weight is good, but .30 Carbine ammunition is heavier. I'm not convinced that's worth giving up 3-round-bursts, ammo interoperability, and 800 USD a piece for.

I can't argue with any of the other purchases. Grenades, shotguns and SMGs are necessary if you run into any buildings any time soon, and WWII vintage rifles aren't that bad at ranges over 300 meters (where 5.56 ammunition falters).

Might I suggest buying HK91s instead of those stupid M-14s as DMRs, and also the fact that I already bought the RPG-7 in our main weaps buy so we don't need to buy it? Don't know if the game reflects this but the M14 is basically uncontrollable on full auto and isn't really designed as a squad automatic weapon.

We should prob buy that Ma Deuce tho. Updating:
