NOT HUGE IMPROVEMENTS? nope you don't see it by just looking by pictures, resources like elephants and horses are very important otherwise you won't get eephant archers and stuff or quicker tanks if you don't have iron, diplomacy is much more agressive and it actually helps. the whole gameplay is improved drastically.

You asked for it!

This is an actual picture of mine, not just a similiar pic from online.

(http://img474.imageshack.us/img474/1317/dsc004105ca.jpg)

It is a Rock River Arms AR-15 A2, 20-in barrel, and flash suppressor.

Hope you like it!  :2guns:  :2guns:

Title: So What Ya All Get?
Post by: Lt.Cdr.White on January 12, 2006, 09:22:07 PM
The upper and lower receiver, the carrying handle, the barrel, the flash-hider and the forward sight (and the aluminium magazine) are metal parts. The stock, pistol-grip and the forward hand-guard are all usually made of plastic.

But still, much more metal parts than the G36 or XM-8. ;)


Title: So What Ya All Get?

plastis is better its lighter.  i got a 30-30 and went hunting :)

I suppose plastic would be a better overall material than metal...

Title: So What Ya All Get?
Post by: RedShirt on January 13, 2006, 03:05:24 AM
my own knowledge on guns is rather limited, but I must agree on that point


Title: So What Ya All Get?
Post by: Dirty Harry on January 13, 2006, 06:48:36 PM
Thats one of the reasons that I chose this particular weapon. It is mostly metal yet still only weights around 6.5 - 7 lbs. It was a much more solid feel in your hands than some of the other military guns I looked at. And it is a "smaller" caliber (term used loosely) so the recoil is much less significant leading to less pain when firing over 200 rounds in an afternoon. It still kicks a significant amount but not as much as a .308 or .30-06.


Title: So What Ya All Get?
Post by: RedShirt on January 14, 2006, 03:05:53 AM
How's the recoil?

Title: So What Ya All Get?
Post by: Casper on January 14, 2006, 07:03:52 AM
do you use that AR-15 for hunting? or self defense? or both?

if i had use for one, and a federal permit i'd go with a FN-Fal, or a styer aug, but an M-4 or colt commando would do just as well.

personally, i don't mind 7.62 nato rounds. but the .223 cal. sounds a bit lacking, but i guess you don't really need that much stopping power either.


Title: So What Ya All Get?
Post by: RedShirt on January 14, 2006, 08:54:42 PM
I use it for fishing  ^_^


Title: So What Ya All Get?
Post by: Dirty Harry on January 14, 2006, 09:24:07 PM
I use it for target shooting because it is extremely accurate and shoots flat out to about 600m. The bullet velocity is about 3200 fps at the muzzle on the ammo I shoot.

It is for home protection as well, though I hope I never have to use it in that way.

Title: So What Ya All Get?
Post by: RedShirt on January 14, 2006, 11:37:18 PM
Katanas are nice for offensive fighting, but I prefer longswords all around.  Can't stand short swords, though.


Title: So What Ya All Get?
Post by: Cpt Ryan on January 15, 2006, 02:21:27 AM
Katana, Waki-zashi & a Tanto.
also have many other oriental weapons but although very real, they are all ceremonial.
i.e i dont just collect them ;)

Title: So What Ya All Get?
Post by: Casper on January 15, 2006, 10:26:36 PM
the reason i prefer knives over swords is because knives are easier to toss when you need to. it's a lot harder to through a sword at someone. but swords are fine by me, i guess a few shuriken and an odichi would work well together.


Title: So What Ya All Get?
Post by: RedShirt on January 16, 2006, 03:26:10 AM
Just like you always carry a pistol when you fight with a more powerful gun, the same thing goes for knives and swords.  Knives are like a sidearm.


Title: So What Ya All Get?
Post by: Casper on January 16, 2006, 06:35:06 AM
i suppose so. but i'd just feel more at ease with a good knife in my hand over a sword.


Title: So What Ya All Get?
Post by: RedShirt on January 17, 2006, 12:17:34 AM
If someone with a knife fought someone with a sword, I think I know who'd win...

you forget that you have to draw a knife as well ;)  and if the person with the sword is good enough, i.e. me (without sounding big headed) you can successfully either dodge the knife or deflect it while in the same move set launch an attack of your own.
