    Demo vid of various loads being put through "thin American walls." This one demonstrates a shotgun versus handgun rounds versus your house.

    Crashed bus in Honest Hearts

    Considering the number of shipping errors talked about, it's very likely just old emails loitering on that computer - saved by the owner to demonstrate just how bad his paperwork is. Not only is the emails from 2057, but they're also from June of 2057, as the following email is a...

    there's also a sequel, where Bernie is reanimated by voodoo (but only works when music is playing).

    The Dishonored Thread

    possibly a trailer for their "next gen" console game? I wouldn't put it past them to have something for their potential new MMO already rendered.

    What exactly defines the term "tribes"?

    So instead of defining what a tribe or tribal is, we are instead finding criteria to fit the stereotype of a tribe or tribal? We would rather define a tribe as a community that does not qualify as a 'town', 'city', 'nation', or other 'faction' equivalents of groups. The Boomers refer to...

    What exactly defines the term "tribes"?

    This (paraphrased) quote from Honest Hearts provides the exception to such criteria. "We may wear more clothes and understand tech better, but we're still a tribe- a linked family of families. When the walls come crashing down, you always have family, and the family always has tribe. New...

    Heck, you could just tell Autumn the code when they capture you in the hope you can join them. Oh wait...

    The Guns and Ammo Thread

    My money would be Safety concerns. The Deer guns were intended to be used to assassinate a soldier and then take their weapon, not for reuse. "A gun to get you a better gun." That company who makes those Liberators notes that they had to rebuild the pistol with much higher tolerances to...

    Warfare in the Fallout world: 2077 onwards.

    Ah. This being from Fallout Tactics which is semi-canon, perhaps those particular shouldn't be involved in the discussion until that gets cleared up. Else we do wind up with old tanks and hummers in the discussion as fighting vehicles.

    Warfare in the Fallout world: 2077 onwards.

    The Boomers practice aerial combat, they just haven't had any luck actually performing aerial combat until the Courier shows up. No known uses of ground combat vehicles, though there is a "suggestion" from the All Roads comic that there is some cavalry out there. Though it's canonicity is...

    Post-Apocalyptic Superbowl commercial

    A good truck is hard... actually, they're easy to find, and Toyota even made an "Invincible" limited release based on the following two videos (which were inspired by pictures such as that): Killing a Hilux Part 1 Killing a Hilux Part 2 Part 3

    Isn't the Sierra Madre supposed to be open for exploring?

    I use Return to Sierra Madre myself. This one allows you to bring your companions with you, etc. Works with AWOP- Dead Money, as well.

    Mass Effect 3 discussion

    So many news items on a Sunday, I'm really not sure what to make of it! Is there something special about April 1st? There are allegations that Commander Shepard may be an illegal alien. However, that's not stopping the announcement of a Mass Effect tv series...

    The Guns and Ammo Thread

    In my former life in Virginia, I worked for a Navy Contractor who also had the job of transporting military surplus goods bought at auction from Yorktown to our warehouse in Norfolk. It's not like it's a huge secret or anything, but not something you'd likely find on the internet unless you...

    The Guns and Ammo Thread

    If it's a machinegun made before 1986 and it's registered, you don't need the FFL, just a number of forms to the ATF and your local law enforcement, and a background check to make sure it's legally yours. Then State and local laws apply as well. You do need the FFL class 7 plus either a...

    The Guns and Ammo Thread

    Civilians with a FFL class 7 and above can own them in full-auto configuration (though it's intended to be for "demonstration purposes") and a Class 2 SOT, as JohnnyEgo refers to. Like I said, not Average Joe Public. It's illegal to turn an improperly demilled machine gun manufactured into...

    The Guns and Ammo Thread

    Tell me this, if you two are so knowledgeable about how the government handles its business, where exactly do you think the destroyed guns go? As slag or scrap metal? By your lack of actual answers, you don't know. There were something like 1,400,000 M14s bought by the government, with...

    The Guns and Ammo Thread

    Call me jelly. It's a very clean and nice looking gun. How's it shoot, by the way? I've been looking for a Marlin Camp Carbine in a .45ACP to complement my 1911 - they both use 1911 magazines (I like the idea of parity). However, it too is blowback operated and it supposedly loses much...

    The Guns and Ammo Thread

    We've already discussed how legal M4s in fully automatic fire can be attained, see that part about putting an M4 upper on a registered M16 lower with a telescoping stock. I'm not back-door justifying anything. Hahn and Pearl set a precedent for making rewelds from demilled M14s, because he...
