There is literally no reason to carry a .50 caliber rifle around. .308 rounds and other intermediate rounds are more than enough to get through anything the game can throw at you.

Example, I have killed a tank drone in one on one combat with a SCAR-H. The houses and cars in the surrounding area were devastated, and my leg and chest were severely hemorrhaged, but I won!

Ah, but the .50 BMG is so sexy.

And do I have to go get that image where I killed one without a scratch using clever positioning and an incorruptible sword?

Testing the usefulness of a water cannon now. lions, tigers, and hulks oh my.

Suprised at the usefulness of it. Well, burst mode is effective but wasteful. Gonna try single shot now. Its stuns them all and reduces the amount of incoming buggers.

Question is, does it create sound? I think it does, but Im unsure how loud it actually is. Wanderers be wandering, yo.

Acquiring ludicrously excessive firepower is half the fun! Sure that .50 cal turret on top of my deathmobile is enough to liquefy basically anything, but I still need a 40mm launcher and a 120mm RWS up there too because reasons!

If it isn’t 155mm, it isn’t enough gun. \<3

155mm is also not enough gun. “enough gun” does not exist.

New Star Wars spoiler alert:

Apparently, the Death Star was not “enough gun” - in the new one, they make one MUCH MUCH bigger.

I stand by what I said: “enough gun” does not exist.

That image is slightly broken for me. However, after grabbing the link I must say that that is not enough daka. We need guns made of guns made of guns, and then that will be nearly enough daka.

Yeah, I didn’t get the image, either… not sure what’s wrong, but I’m assuming it’s a 40K picture of some sort?

And yeah, orkz neva haz enuf dakka.

That can be interpreted either way. Heh.

Clearly the 1d4 within its name represents the diceroll made to determine if people see images within it.

Cities, not planets. Even though I may be an idiot who likes to destroy cities, I’m not an idiot that likes to destroy planets he’s living in.

^ well that is the best part of the death star. In order to destroy planet you have to leave it so you can press blow up planet button. At that point you are living on death star.

claustrophobia? nah. Just fear of the generators/aircleaners going out and suffocating. Claustrophobia is not a fear for me. Although heights bother me… and also getting sucked out into the vacuum of space, only to fall like a meteor and burn up in reentry. Claustrophobia is a funny fear to have in a ship with such massive hangers.

I just noticed that the diamond bayonets don’t give reach attacks - is that intentional or a bug?
