No, but when behind cover, your chances of survival increase astronomically. BTW cover or any small arm won't do you much good against the number one cause of death - Explosive devices. Here is a stat for you to ponder - 75% of all people from the beginning of time who ever died in combat, died...

SuAside, I agree, a jammed weapon can be a nightmare in combat, but, you aren't going to be standing in the open trading shots with an opponent, you seek cover first, then engage, so yeah, a jammed weapon, a missed shot at the enemy, but guess what, you behind cover! And guess what, even more...

SANDER, btw, read up on Strategic Defense Initiative research, and this is PUBLIC, bro, Americans have shot down a missile in flight with ajumbo jet based laser as a prototype of course, but they have done it, so don't play cute. Also do some reading on the UN sponsored de-mining programs, for...

Suaside, you practice switching from a rifle to a sidearm during ambush drills. I can switch From an rifle to a sidearm in a thigh holster in as fast as a pause between two shots using front sites. Yes, soldiers duck and cover, move and shoot, the timeless infantry constants, and yes, you can...

I am not sure of lasers for mine clearing, there are more interesting ways to clear a field. A Bangalore Torpedo is a great old standard. The new method for clearing minefields comsists of genetically engineered flowers. It is used in long term minefield crlearing projects during reconstruction...

Amazing adaptation of Lovecraft to comic book format. Awesome story. The punchlines Reminded me of stories in Epic and Heavy Metal (comic art) magazines from ages ago. A great find, Tannhauser!

Monsharen - try mixing rum and beer and drinking the elixir. Not just the taste, you WILL be feeling it the next day...

SDB, guess how radar was invented? The Brits tried killing people by aiming radiowaves at them. I believe that Something of the sort has been developed as a "less than lethal" weapon - the idea is the microwave radiation will create a "burning sensation over the enemies' skin" so as to make them...

Red Wolf Beer (If I can find it), Magic Hat #7 Not Quite Pale Ale from the Magic Hat brewing Comany in Vermont USA(If I can get my hands on a six pack), other fave treats - Champaigne and Oramge Juice (goes great with steak and eggs), Kir (Cassis de Bordeaux and dry white wine), Jim Beam...

I played the Fallout game 8-10 years ago, what do you expect? I saw what I saw, a beret wearing ghoul, it was a head and shoulders image, and the immediate impression I had was of the Black Panther Party. You can fume all you want, but it is you, who don't get the Fallout since you don't know...

Evgeni, I haven't fired the new AK's with the smaller rounds and compensators, nor had I fired any of the high end AK rifles manufactured in Tula. I am sure they would do nicely. Russia has a centuries old tradition of qulaity arms manufacture, too bad it was never put on industrial scale or...

Starseeker, I doubt that Gao Shan will be deported to China. More than likely he will face the death penalty, if deported to China, so no deportation. With regards to your point #3, I don't think that China has the infrastructure for the high end quality manufacturing to compete with the...

The thing that blew my mind with the Fallout, is the incredible level of sophistication on part of the people who wrote and drew the content, ***THAT*** is lost on you, Angrim as are a few other things. Fallout ***IS*** post nuke California, EVERY Fallout settlement and every quest in it that I...

In defence of the ***SHINY*** M-16, I just ***HAVE*** to say that the ***AWESOME*** thing about it is that both front and back sites are adjustable, which means total customzation of your M-16, which means that I wa able to put a round EXACTLY where I wanted it at 50, 150 and 350 yards, THAT...

Not at all - appearances alone - Set looks like a sixties radical with his beret. Masters headquarters with its Cathedral looks more like a cult than a communist or any other organisation. This IS a thread about Transhumanism and Master's ideology, so it's fair game, and I didn't bring the...

Hmmm, Brazil was with the Allies during WWII, Argentina and Chile backed Axis. I think the split may have been along the lines of descent from Portugal vis a vie Spain and the Franco-Salazr agreement. The place to watch is the Tri-Border region and for the influence of the Islamists in Latin...

Some things in Master's philosophy of Unity may be construed as Marxist thought, but was it portrayed so in the game? Master's headquarters are at a CATHEDRAL, there is a room with the PEWS in Master's headquarters, and his disciples wear monastic ROBES. If the Master's Unity was supposed to...

'Kay, SuAside, you got me!!! It's 7.62mm Caliber over 5.56mm SuAside, mon, do I make you happy?????

I agree with Briosafreak. China is a major player in the post Cold War world, esp among the non-aligned countries. To get the sense of the PRC Realpolitik, check into how they backed all of the factions at the same time in Cambodia after Pol Pot fell. Petv Parrott, China might be a Tgird World...

This is good news! Congrats, MIB88! To install these mods and be able to play them, do you need F1 or F2 installed?
