Easy, broski; put those emo goth feelings away. There is no death on Auraxis.

Well. You can't really make a " different " looking pistol. Its like playing Madden 2011, and then 2012, and expecting something different. They both do the same thing, you cant really do a lot to change them.

The TR carry a modified GLOCK Model 17 with high precision barrel. Same one I carry in Real life. Standard load is 17 rounds - 18 with one chambered as I carry it. Simpleist to clean then the VS or NC versions. The Glocks history go back to a time they were first developed on earth.

I have 30 round clips for it as well.

The 9mm ammo has 35% more muzzle energy then 38 special, 10% more then the 44 special and rivals the the energy of a hot 45 ACP round. It has more persision at longer range then the 40 S&W or the 45 ASP rounds.

They meet the TR performance requirements for an ideal cartridge that must have bullet expansion of .50" (1/2 inch) or more, and at least 12 inches of penetration in bare and clothed ballistic gelatin. Bullet penetration should not exceed 18 inches depth. 12 to 15 inches is considered the ideal range.

With Armor piercing ammo its cuts through the heaviest NC and VS Armor.

Personally I use a 147 grain round Serated hollow point - excellent against the nc and vs.
It goes in and just rips and tears the flesh of my enemy.

Note the 9mm is equilvent to the 45 cal the NC tote but I can carry almost twice the ammo by weight. The VS lazers are never dependable, especially when there is no sun on a rainy day to recharge them.

Oh geez. We got a gun nut here.

If you mean they both look like pistols then yes they do look similar.

Honestly they look fine, what did you expect?

sameer · 2012-07-16, 05:06 PM

This is why I went with VS, because everything is different.

I did love the PS1 ScatterPistol, although I think I'm the only one that felt that way

It was a pretty neat idea. I felt that we had enough shotgun with the JH though.

Ideally we'd want something with more range in PS2.

Could make NC pistols into high caliber revolvers to give them a different look and feel.

Like the S&W TRR8 - 8 round .357 revolver with rails.

Granted, it's a bit ridiculous with all those attachments, but just because it's a revolver doesn't mean you can't put rails and accessories on it.

I've seen revolvers with built in rails under the barrel. They make scopes for hunting revolvers, don't see why they wouldn't make other top attachments.

The Smith&Wesson M&P R8, for instance. Although, I would want something more thematically appropriate looking...
