Posted November 30, 200717 yr These are the most notable of the heavier "small arms" currently in service with the Tabletown Army. The Army is a fully integrated force and all equipment is designed with this in mind. Therefore, much of the equipment will often share the same components or design philosophy to assist with routine maintenance and operations. In addition, all weapon systems are designed to be fully compatible with vehicles able to mount them. Furthermore, in an effort to improve logistics, the Tabletown Armed Forces will, where possible, use weapon systems that do not require any ammunition other than energy, although this is sometimes not possible or practical due to mission profiles and the current technology that is available. The first notable weapon is the T84 Heavy Assault Rifle - intended to replace squad-based Heavy Machine Guns, the T84 is capable of firing up to 50 20-megajoule plasma pulses in one minute, and more than 1,000 shots before recharging. Although unsuitable for close-quarters urban engagements due to its size, the T84 is ideal as a suppressive weapon to fix enemy positions and allow flanking operations. Below you see a typical weapon rack containing 12 T84s - the rack recharges the weapons when they are not in use. The T84 can be attached to the rear rail of a Sentinel Class RUV without difficulty where it can be fired remotely from the cabin controls. The next weapon is an electrically operated Mk VI Accumulator Minigun ( as mounted on the Venom). This weapon is capable of firing 4,000 rounds a minute although ammunition must be carried separately, this time in external cases. This means that only the strongest of troops can actually carry the weapon and the ammunition - so more usually a fire team of three men would carry the weapon into battle, with ammunition and their own sidearms. The Accumulator supplies devastating firepower in support of infantry operations. This Accumulator has been mounted on the rear rail of a Sentinel RUV. Again, the weapon can be controlled remotely from the cabin, including the ability to track the weapon left and right. Ammunition in this case is stored in the back of the vehicle. The Sentinel is robust enough to withstand the massive recoil generated by the weapon. Here we see Doctor Sinister with two Pulveriser Class heavy plasma cannon. This weapon is similar to the weapons mounted on the Triumph LAV, although less powerful, relying on an internal battery or separately carried power source for energy. However the output of 35-megajoules is nonetheless impressive for a weapon of this size. The Pulveriser is usually carried into battle by two men. As you can see here, the four supporting legs of the weapon can be folded to allow for various firing configurations. Here the legs effectively become a bipod, allowing the weapon to fire at an angle or for an operator to swiftly swivel the weapon from side to side. When not in use or being transported, all the legs are folded. Redeployment of the weapon once on site is possible within two minutes. The Pulzeriser is too large and heavy to mount on any vehicle smaller than an Aggressor Class MBT. The Aggressor does in fact feature two interface sockets either side of the turret to allow additional weaponry to be fitted, and here you can see an Aggressor with a Pulveriser attached to the turret side. The legs of the weapon have been completely removed. PLMKWYT! Dr. S. Edited November 30, 200717 yr by Doctor Sinister
November 30, 200717 yr These all looks great, and fit in well with the vehicles. Certainly an impressive arsenal you have! *y* Those miniguns look great, the technic piece makes it look more like what a minigun barrel looks like than bricks would (except for the rods in a barrel technique). *y* *y* I'll have to make me some for my post-Apoc world. *sweet* Credit will be given. One thing that's been bugging me, is I can't tell if that's green or teal. It always looks teal in those pics. Could you please clarify this? ~Peace

November 30, 200717 yr Very cool weaponry Dr. S! *y* Are you planning on taking over more than just Best-Lockland? I love the way the weapons fit onto the vehicles, and the use of switches as a stand for the heavy plasma cannon is very ingenious and effective. 8-

November 30, 200717 yr I've wimped out on the really small small arms - I'm relying on a shipment from Brickarms for now. Right now my men just need reliable firepower and quickly.Dr. S. _________ Fair enough, its great all the same, funnily enough my favourite is the minigun now :-$ To the Brickmobile! >:-)
November 30, 200717 yr Author _________Fair enough, its great all the same, funnily enough my favourite is the minigun now :-$ To the Brickmobile! >:-) I had a feeling you might say that when you saw these - I made these first and then made another for the Venom, so now you can see what it was originally supposed to look like with the handle and everything.
