That is a lot of complexity. Can guns with optics use aimed shot or aimed shot (optics) interchangeably, or do optics just mean shots are going to be slow but precise?

Pistols and shotguns. How dreadfully sporting.

That mauser M712, is that a schnellfeuer, and is it fed off clips or box mags?

God, it's even hard to come by a decent sized magazine. Double stacked magazines are a thing for a reason.

Pity that it doesn't have a stock. How are those shotguns at range? It looks like I'm not the fastest gun in the western hemisphere, but if I aim in with a shotgun and/or pistol will it use the regular shooting that I'm less bad at?

3x3 size

A French submachine gun, this wouldn’t be nearly as well-known as it is if it weren’t for the Vietnam War.

The MAT-49 was a post-war gun using the common 9x19mm Parabellum round instead of France’s wacky 7.65mm rounds that they insisted on using instead of something sensible. Along with having a telescoping wire stock, the magazine well can be folded underneath the barrel for compact storage or parachuting. The guns are found everywhere the French had colonial influence, and that includes leaving a lot of them behind after leaving Indochina. Many of them were used by the Viet Cong against American and South Vietnamese troops, sometimes rechambered in 7.62x25mm.

I want me a dumb foldable French smg if there's ammo for it. I'll work out the remainder of the details in a bit.

Probably 150 rounds. Holster belt if the mat fits in it. Does it or the Beretta use magazines on sale? That's my one concern with the French gimmick gun.

I'm stuck on my phone for a while. Could someone do the MAT, a stiehlhandgrenate, and three boxes of surplus parabellum for me? I'll donate my spare pocket space to carrying duct tape or any thing else.

And if you want it when we find me something with rifle caliber bullets and a stock, I'll hand over this SMG.

Wait. I'm a mercenary. I'll trade it in to you if you want for affordable financing for something with some drat glass up top. Maybe if I'm real lucky I can get an Armalite or something heavy. I miss firepower. gently caress trading shots when you don't have to just because for some reason the fools in this country can't smuggle the good stuff.

Yeah, I want to buy something with pockets too. I can't complain about priorities though, this place has poo poo for guns too, so gently caress all for pockets makes sense. Oh well, the space got bought and it's getting used. Maybe I can drink some backpacker under the drat table and nick his bag?

The uzi can do single shots and has a stock? Interesting. Still, the MAT is probably the only thing with a half decent sight radius even if that doesn't matter.

Edit, it is significantly more accurate. Neat. Pity I can't fire single shots though.

I wouldn't mind having a pistol. If somebody wants to replace theirs with that until they run the new one out of ammo, that's fine, I'd just prefer more than one magazine.

Keep aimed on the road, covering Earp's advance. Follow him once he gets too far forward to properly cover.

If I can get reasonable odds of hitting by aiming in, do that, otherwise I should be able to head a bit left to get the full stone wall between me and her, and then run up to its cover, catch my breath and aim up from there, right?

Earp currently has a remote chance with an aimed shotgun blast and he’s closer than you, so I get the feeling you won’t hit much of anything at that long range.

Also I want to point out that you’re as far left as you can get against that wall. For some reason the game makes it impossible to path any closer, possibly because of a map edge.

Huh. Interesting. Does that mean that if I advanced I'd be out of cover?

Walk up towards the wall then, ready to crouch and return fire if the enemy engages before I get there.

I re-read your post and I may have misconstrued your question!

Dessert is as far left as she can go, and there's the map boundary keeping her from getting any closer. However, the section of wall running parallel to the road is usable as cover. So you can run up to that for cover from the living Hooligan.

I'm linchpin, but I think you've got my intent now. Advance in the shadow of the wall parallel to the road so I don't have to worry about being ready to draw at a moment's notice.

The game doesn't give exact distances, but I'd estimate that you're currently around 50-75 yards from the one with the shotgun and you'd be around the same distance from the one with the Uzi. That being said, you need to move to engage either target and the one with the pistol is likely coming around the corner in a few seconds.

The good news is that everything is lined up so she should run into Earp's sights first. The bad news is that Earp had better be one fast draw.

I mean that is literally Earp's job description.

I'll hold on to my pistol until the first one's dealt with.

If you hold Alt while selecting an enemy to attack, your merc will continue to fire until the target is dead. I used that to let Linchpin fire two bursts as fast as possible, without waiting to see the effects of the first and then making a separate attack order.

I like you. I like your style.

Inch up the wall to the corner, and peek around it. If the other hooligan isn't ready, shoot that one as well.
