- All phones must be turned over to the technology department to have monitoring equipment installed.
- If a number is dialed, or a call received from a number that that's not on the Agency approved list, the Agency knows it immediately.
- Smartphones have restrictions on websites that can be browsed. Parent-lock is nothing compared to Handler-lock.
- All chat, text and instant message functions are monitored by the Agency.

Amsel: Christ, don't give Marcus any ideas.
In all seriousness, Amsel and Luce probably have a relatively skewed look on how the RB works because they're not really used for intel work. They shoot people when they need to, and are more or less forgotten about otherwise.

Point on intranet, I missed that. Frankly though, even then I could see a "cyborg" intranet being kept completely physically seperate from the Agency secure intranet, for obvious reasons. Either way it's going to be an IT nightmare waiting to happen.
As to the phone restrictions...
Monty: All sounds perfectly resonably to me. Probably worth adding that the handler should be able to find demostrable need for his cyborg to have a phone in the first place. Otherwise, why even take the risk to begin with?
Monty of course taking her usual view that broad spectrum "cyborgs shall/shall not" rulings don't apply to her, by virtue of being Monty... and in fairness, in this particular case, trying to apply restrictions and monitoring to her phone would be at cross purposes with her role.

Re: Weapon Idiosyncrasies
I don't think she'd need to in reality. Monty uses her phone for all sorts, and from a security perspective, the last thing J+M need is for it to be constantly transmitting back to the SWA... Not to mention I think Monty's built herself a bit of a rep for being boringly straight when it comes to the use of her work equipment, Jethro would be a bigger concern for misappropriation of SWA resources.dragonfire238 wrote: yea I imagine that if anybody tried to put a bug on her phone then at her earliest convienance that phone would be destroyed and replaced

Re: Weapon Idiosyncrasies
on the topic now, just like Triela, Yuki will wield a WW2 firearm in her disposal-
Type 99 Arisaka with bayonet(in the next chapter of my OC ff,i will depict how she get her prized gift,the arisaka bolt action rifle)
for Sherry-(M240B+M16A4 multiple attachment) she rolls out as the Support gunner+sniper+breacher+recon,you name it...she's the "jack of all trade"
and for Lorraine,
the Hecate suites her.
as for Garland the other hand,Springfield M1A battle rifle
Yamato-Howa assault rifle
Kai-
same with Yamato,with specially mounted scope
Yuri-PKM pecheneg
the basic point why all of My OC using different weapon from the European firearm(except hecate) is all of the firearm mentioned above perfectly suited them....

Seemed that way to me as well, but my knowledge doesn't go that far.John_234 wrote:Most of those guns aren't particularly impractical.
On that note, as a request from the gun illiterate to those posting here: could we have some explanation as to a) why the weapons posted are idiosyncratic/impractical in their intended role and b) why the decision was taken to use them anyway? ie. why do they suit the characters etc.

Mercedes: Have you met my handler? He can pass just about anything off as training.
Barry: That's right. You see, there is the off chance that one of teh cyborgs may be captured, or monitored by another agency, foreign or domestic. For this purpose, Mercedes and I have been teaching them to speak in code over the phones and intranet. What you see or hear as mindless banter, is actually in dpth tactical analysis and planning.
Ferro: *disbelievingly* Then tell me what "Barry is the coolest!" means, then.
Barry: It's alerting the other cyborgs to my presence, but also noting that I'm in a good mood and they shouldn't mean to step around me or watch what they say when I'm near. If it had been, "Barry is so hot!" then it's stil an alert, and a warning that I'm in a bad mood. You see?

Arisaka: Been discussed.
Hecate: Bolt action. Has it's own benefits versus the Barrett.
Pecheneg: If the 7.62x54r is a common round in the area of operations, it makes sense.
M16A4: Readily available, much better stopping power than the M4. It has it's purposes, again.

sure the M240B is normally mounted on a vehicle but we always had at least two of them per platoon (1 per squad) when on a dismounted patrol so it was used plenty for infantry support. the M240D however wouldn't normally be seen dismounted as it has a butterfly trigger like the m2

The jams you cite with the M16 are no different from the M4.
Anyway, I think I'll drop the topic.

before that.....M4 quickly overheat,m16 are such long assault rifle,impractical to CQB(unless using shorter barrel,which pain in the neck changing it)...and that's my final shot of the excuse behind of the firearm option for my cyborg...psychologically..in my point...the worse the gun,the more cautious it is for us to fire it.
M240 use 7.62...wild recoil there...

Lorenzo: Hey, who she calling a nosy 'ol bird?!
(mumbling to himself) Surely they're not referring to that day I accidentally entered Jethro's make-shift office space while Monty was changing.....honest!
Ferro: He's a nosy 'old bird all right!
Tea: Yup....
Sherry: hey Henrietta, didn't you heard ? Yuki-san now under quarantine....they say that she was chatting something about rule this rule that....
Henrietta: yea i heard about that....wonder who she was chatting to that night...*glance to Mercedes*
Mercedes: uhm...no comment... *run away as she saw some big guy chasing her....*
Mercedes: *Jumps through a window, grabs onto the guttering, and swings herself onto the roof. Slipping on a pirate hat* You'll always remeber this as they day you almost caught Captain Mercedes Sparrow! *shouting over her shoulder while on the run* Rule 10: Sometimes the only way out is through. . . through the wall.
Claes: But you just jumped through a window. My window.
Mercedes: Rule 31: Only cheaters prosper.

Re: Weapon Idiosyncrasies
I'm not knowledgeable in all things gun either, but this is a good question and if I may offer my humble opinion, at least in my cy-droids case Ayden, it's impractical because there might be innocents involved or, fragile and important pieces of equipment that may be destroyed with a fast firing shotgun.Alfisti wrote:Seemed that way to me as well, but my knowledge doesn't go that far.John_234 wrote:Most of those guns aren't particularly impractical.
On that note, as a request from the gun illiterate to those posting here: could we have some explanation as to a) why the weapons posted are idiosyncratic/impractical in their intended role and b) why the decision was taken to use them anyway? ie. why do they suit the characters etc.
As to why is it allowed anyway, Ayden knows her handler. He goes by the book, but if there is no specific rule as to whether something can or cannot be done, little Ayden detects grey area and runs with it, in this case pointing out every now and then that Jean did not specifically say she cannot use her Saiga 12 against relatively few targets, so her handler emotionless as usual, nods ok and the child beams knowing once more she got away with doing what she wanted. However, when Jean tells Gunther something is not allowed, he never bends the rules for her and no amount of crying and complaining can change that.
Ayden: Let the general populace live in the boring world of black and white, we dwell in Grey Area Terrain!

Re: Weapon Idiosyncrasies
Well, I've been toying with a new OC lately, and I've got this urge to give her a custom made 30mm rifle with HEIAP or DU ammo...
Assuming it doesn't shatter suspension of disbelief, I think the impracticality of such a weapon is already patently obvious, not the least of which is a very real possibility of the cyborg getting blown backwards off her feet from the recoil.

A 30mm canon is not man-portable, even by a cyborg. Besides, you can get Armor-Piercing-Explosive-Incendiary and Saboted Light Armor Penetrator rounds for both .50 BMG and 20mm anti-material rifles.
Depleted Uranium Saboted penetrators only work at very high speeds - hence it is almost exclusively used in Saboted Penetrator rounds for Main Battle Tank canons. The GAU-8 Avenger canon from the Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II attack plane uses DU 30 mm PGU-14/B armour-piercing incendiary rounds, but that weapon weighs almost 300 kilos and is 6 meters in length. And when it is fired, it damn near stops the forward momentum of the plane.

Re: Weapon Idiosyncrasies
Well... the Hughes Chain Gun weighs 55.6 kg, and it fires a 30x113 mm shell at 625 rpm. You probably lose at least 15 kg if you strip away hydraulics and electrical components, so you could feasibly have a 40.6 kg single shot/magazine fed bolt action rifle. That's an 89.5 lb weapon, and we know that Beatrice can lift at least 300+ kg (that warhead looks like it came from an SRBM; the Russians have a variety with a 550 kg warhead) and THROW it out a window, so it doesn't seem implausible that such a weapon, if custom designed for a cyborg, could work.
Unless we're talking about how the recoil would probably throw someone off their feet, whereupon I enact the Rule of Cool.

Re: Weapon Idiosyncrasies
She was lifting it before she was shot. If nothing else, she can lift that much weight. If she had a tripod or something brace it against, I have no doubt that she could stabilize something of that much mass and fire it accurately.
On the other hand, Kisk pointed out in the chat that despite the capacity to frankenstein/design a gun that could fire 30mm rounds and be used by a cyborg, the sheer overkill makes it not very useful.

Re: Weapon Idiosyncrasies
I know it was ages ago (three days?) but I feel compelled to add some points about the Nagant Revolver.
-The cylinder of the revolver moves forward as the trigger is stroked, but it is actually the cartridge itself that seals against the barrel. This is how a suppressor can function on it, and it was in fact done back during WWII and Vietnam.
-The Nagant cartridge is unique, to say the least, being designed specifically to aid in manufacturing the gun itself by using the same boring tools as the Mosin Nagant rifles. Hence why it is chambered in 7.62. The base of the cartridge looks very similar to the 7.62x54R as well.
-The performance of the revolver is a mixed bag. The triggers are notoriously stiff (upwards of 16 lbs) due to the spring-action required for the cylinder. Reloading is slow due to the use of a single-action loading gate and extraction system. Current production ammo is equated to about the 32ACP in power, though the original ammunition designed for it had considerably more power and rivals the 32H&R Magnum in performance.

Re: Weapon Idiosyncrasies
We've discussed the 30mm weapon. In short, a bespoke, way overkill weapon like that doesn't really fit the nature of GSG... unless you're really universe-bending.
If you want to go that big, just use a recoiless rifle. Seriously.
About .32 ACP, there's quite a few conversion cylinders available for Nagants, though they wouldn't be able to run a suppressor in .32 ACP for the reasons Maverick said.

Re: Weapon Idiosyncrasies
I'm in total agreement with Mav and John_234.
And what's wrong with the .32ACP? The gun is only as good as the idiot behind the trigger. Yes, there is a thing about power behind the bullet, but if you got a 30mm rifle and you cant hit the broad side of a squared barn, then why use it at all? You're just wasting bullets!
As for silencing, there is common sense here. A semi auto magazine fed pistol will provide the best silencing options out there. As for the Nagant, parts wear down. With the strength of a cyborg finger pulling on a 16lb trigger load, it will wear out very quickly, if not break in the first few shots fired. With a simple pistol, point and shoot with a 5lb or lighter trigger load.
If you want to to go with the .32ACP, I recommend the NAA .32ACP Guardian.
