John, I reviewed your weapons page, and have some questions!
1.) smartlinked - what effects does this provide? (and do you think
that no one other than the NRE would use this, which I presume to be a neural
link technology?)
2.) I don't see weapons for:
LLAR - and the South American continent has historically produced a
lot of firearms designs! RH FCT IF (though I saw mention of them) Sweden
Scanfed (should have some home brew stuff if I recall the figs) IC IAS:) AE (I
though you'd at least do Chris the favour:)
Some of these will use licensed copies, but then you get things like the C7
which is actually superior to its original M16 roots (the copy was improved
over the original). Some will use unlicensed copies. But it would be worth
putting up sections for each nation with weapon stats and what THEY call them
(and mention if they are actually some other weapon produced under agreement
or just ripped off).
3) You have the IPW and SPW from the UN, but not their larger IPG. There is a
UN figure with a whomping big plasma gun!
4) There are two distinct (very much so) NSL SAW designs. I think one might
even be a gauss SAW. I didn't see the second design represented.
More later as I review this list versus official lists and figures instead of
just off the top of my head.
PS - Not half bad!

not detailed to the level that the NAC rifle is in the back of the book.
2)I can make up all the details I want about NRE stuff (caliber, magazine
size, whether it has a builtin bipod etc) because it's mine. I won't do it for
everyone.
3)It's effects are below the granularity of SGII.
4)It's a link to the HUD in the helmet.

None of those weapons are out there AFAIK. IF uses mostly obsolete ESU stuff,
according to the writeups on stargrunt.ca. The only stuff I made up myself are
Roman and the obsolscent weapons I used to equip the merc units I sent you.
And not even all of those, since I no longer have a copy of most of the merc
units I sent you (hard drive suicide). BTW, could you send me a copy of those
messages?

Not to within the granularity of SGII.:)

Havn't seen the stats or designation anywhere.
> 4) There are two distinct (very much so) NSL SAW
Again, neither the stats nor the designation are anywhere on the Net AFAIK.
I'm always ready to stand corrected should it be necessary.

Which I don't find convincing--according to canon, IF doesn't get along
with ESU (or at least that's the way I read the assassination of the ESU
ambassador). I'd say hand-me-down FSE materiel, maybe some near-current
weapons for the Guards units. Possibly also some from other
producers--Dutch, maybe?

Write it up, I'll add it to the list.
I'm not discriminating, I'm just throwing together what other people have
done.
G'day,

That's because the smarty scientists gave them cloaking fields... damn bugger
if you put you weapon down while you have a brew though;);)
