Drinking. You'll have one hell of a hangover if you're a lightweight.

Edited by Kinda Red: 8/4/2015 2:39:01 PMMm, maybe. Maybe you're just afraid I'll drink you under the table if you get your own glass. Hm? Yeah, on the job, I know you'll say something like that just to stop a "professional" from getting beat by a little girl that's already almost drunk.
-
[i]He laughs.[/i] I'll take my chances. Alcohol dulls the senses, slows reaction time. Not to mention, my job actually has requirements.
-
Chickennn~! Thought you were supposed to be tough or whatever you think you are...
-
Edited by Trashcan Jesus: 8/4/2015 5:11:26 PMIf I wasn't here on business, I would gladly drink. Toughness matters not when it comes to following orders. You wouldn't get drunk before an op now would you?
-
Your business being to try and get under my skin. Too bad that didn't get you anything but a spilled drink.
-
Edited by Trashcan Jesus: 8/4/2015 5:22:46 PMI'm not worried, because I'm not paying for it. My business was to find out about you and your little friends who got onto my ship.
-
And took down your buddy pretty easy not to mention. That was fun. For cheap whores apparently we're not so bad.

Edited by Trashcan Jesus: 8/4/2015 5:31:22 PMPhoenix isn't a killer, no matter what he says, what he thinks. Be thankful it was him you were dealing with, and the only wound your friend got was a little cut.

[b]She laughs.[/b] All talk and no bite, you people... "Professionals" that can't even take two teens. How much did your armor and weapons cost exactly? That armor must be fortunes worth, and seven dollars worth of scrounged junk put together by a sixteen year old made it immobile with, a little push. Pretty sad right? Of course, you will say "You wouldn't have been able to get out" or "If he was really trying", but you really think we couldn't have adapted like we did for your buddy? Pl~ease.

Edited by Trashcan Jesus: 8/4/2015 7:48:27 PMOne little shot is all it takes. [i]He draws his magnum and opens the cylinder, pulling out a bullet.[/i] With no armor, this is all it takes. And to my armor, that wouldn't work.
-
Then shoot the other guy first, or just don't get hit. You know how much help a person's armor would be against a hundred and twenty millimeters of tungsten? About as much as nothing, just weighs you down. Now that's not to say that a little bit won't help in my opinion, I'm just saying your fancy armor is overrated.
-
Edited by Trashcan Jesus: 8/4/2015 8:44:22 PMMy armor's not near as bulky as his, and you'd be surprised at how agile it is. Light enough for quick movement, tough enough to take a tank shell. 120mm is the typical size of most tank shells, and believe me, I've tested the armor's resilience time and time again, and yes, against tungsten. Besides, how do you plan on getting your hands on a 120mm gun?

[i]Most.[/i] You said [i]most[/i] shells. Consider an iridium core sabot round slamming into your helmet faster than the sound of the shot. Also consider it most likely isn't the only one, a good tank crew can cycle another downrange in just under three seconds. It also might not be the only tank. Plus tanks usually come with other weapons or support, usually air or infantry, or both. Coaxial or the commander's cupola can rip you up too, while the rest of the shots come in. [b]She crosses her legs, clearly happy to be discussing something that interests her; Guns and weapons in general. She probably doesn't seem to notice she's getting slightly off topic.[/b] So you're a bunch of mercs specific to the actual work right? This sounds like something that could actually happen in one of your tougher jobs. Now my own plan for something like that is to simply not play on their terms- [b]She leans over, grabbing up her rifle with one hand and putting it on the table. Those looking, as well as the bartender, quickly look away, not going to be the one to tell her she can't keep such a thing inside.[/b] -consider this. I'm sure you of all people can recognize it. [spoiler]^Custom Barrette, bunch of small additions. Some examples; Canted Iron sights, Low light hybrid scope, black coated thermal absorbent material, high velocity armor piercing rounds with interchangeable munitions, and the more obscure ones. It's very expensive/high value, and very versatile.[/spoiler]

Edited by Trashcan Jesus: 8/4/2015 9:13:46 PMAnd you think I'd go in purposefully against a battalion of tanks? That's suicide. Coaxial and commander turrets don't worry me. Neither does a body shot from the main cannon. Headshot does, but let's be honest, I'm not going to give someone a chance to do that. Then again, that's where mobility comes into play. Most coaxial guns are .50 cal or .308, neither of which will do anything to this armor. Solution to a battalion is either higher ground, artillery, or airpower. Tanks lack the ability to tackle aerial targets, particularly one breaking the sound barrier. They've also got less range than land-based artillery, be it missiles or 155mm shells. You also forget that you don't need to blow the tank up to render it useless, all you have to do is disable the gun and the tracks. A single Warthog[spoiler]the aircraft[/spoiler]is enough to utterly decimate a battalion of tanks. And they never operate alone. [i]He looks to the rifle.[/i] Barretts have always been a prime choice. Reliable, and they hit like trucks. Bit showy with all the attachments.

If they "Don't worry" you, then why say it's suicide? Should be pretty easy with your "invincible" armor. [b]She taps the weapon, drawing your attention to it[/b] You can never have too many ways of using this, or too many gadgets. What's better is your theoretical tank battalion would be pretty easy for a trained sniper with a high powered rifle to immobilize. I could shoot out the pins on their tracks, the viewports for the driver or commander, or both. I could possibly even put a shot down the breach if I got it perfect, but that would be hard and too fancy for me. A single person could do a number on them. My mobility would be my advantage. Urban combat against tanks? I only need one shot to halt their entire advance. Open country? Shoot the pins on the tracks, along with thermal sights, and I've got a blind and immobile squad in a can, just have to wait for them to pop out. Pretty easy. One person without armor, not fighting the way they want to fight.

Edited by Trashcan Jesus: 8/4/2015 10:06:43 PMThat's all without them or the soldiers spotting you. Keep in mind, tanks move with plenty of support. Aircraft, IFVs, soldiers, etcetera. How do plan to shoot the pins out when the tank's in motion. To time a shot like that is nigh impossible, not to mention, .50 caliber won't do very much, particularly if the tracks are covered under a TUSK system. Taking out tank treads is actually far more difficult than you think, because I've seen tanks roll over IEDs and take absolutely zero damage. Suicide isn't going against the Brownings and M240s, suicide is taking on multiple 120mm guns, at least from a frontal assault, which is what most people try to do. For me, it's simply factoring the risk of injury or mission compromise. Why waste my effort when I could simply mark it and let a jet hit it? Now urban combat isn't so simple. Tanks can go around a halted tank, it's not terribly difficult, and a disabled tank isn't blind. They can still shoot and mark targets. Not to mention, tanks can easily destroy structures in their path. Fighting in open country puts you at the disadvantage. As soon as you fire, they'll all be on your position, and there isn't much of anything to protect you. And like I said, without armor, you're a lamb going to slaughter.

First off, you understand that if I was to be sniping on an approaching enemy I would have the home field advantage, I would have likely prepared earlier, and I know the land better then those who just came over that hill. Even the rock headed snipers know how to rig simple camouflage, nests, exits, ins and outs, not being seen is the snipers specialty. Also- [b]She ruffles her shirt pocket and pulls a small radio-like object out, presses a tab on the side and disappears for a moment. She then reappears next to you fidgeting with a serrated knife in her hands, wherever she pulled it out from is unapparent.[/b] Got this little thing Frost found and started playing with. Helps with that problem as well, just can't use it for a long time or else it gets hot. Supposedly it's for just this type of thing, military work, specifically snipers and covert ops. Second, in an open field I can stay at range. I can be on a hill a mile away or two and make sole trouble when I range in well enough. Urban combat limits the effect of support to predictable outcomes, I could set traps and choke points easily, along with escape routes. If you immobilize a tank in a one lane path between buildings then it's more trouble to blow up the building next to it and kill yourself and your immobile buddies with the building itself, plus it'll just make rubble for you to deal with. Third, don't underestimate my capacity to put a decent shot in, I'm not such a cheap whore when it comes to range. I [i]can[/i] put a bullet in the right place if you set me on that path. Plus, I kinda do have a nice knife in my hands, and your neck is literally right there. [b]She smiles, and sits back down. She slides the knife back into her boot, presumably where it was to begin.[/b] I thought you were supposed to be smart, you aren't giving many good points that I can't refute.

Edited by Trashcan Jesus: 8/4/2015 10:40:24 PM[i]He laughs.[/i] Last person to threaten me with a knife ended up bleeding out. Broke his arm and slit his throat with the same blade. Try as you will, you'll most likely dull the blade. And as for your "home-field advantage," do you really think I'm going to send tanks in without proper recon? Do you really expect me to send tanks into an urban area? Logically, a gunship would do the job far better. Full view of everything on the ground, more firepower than a tank. And do you really think I'm not going to look for enemy encampments? I've been doing this since I was a Marine. That was all like this, all looking for the other snipers before they saw me. And it was before I had the suit and an army...
-
I didn't try now did I? And "Other snipers", you said "other". Implying you're one too? Maybe just not as good since you don't think those shots are possible.
-
Edited by Trashcan Jesus: 8/4/2015 10:48:43 PMNot realistically or with a Barrett. I've been working with these rifles for years. You can't disable a tank with a Barrett. And yes, I was a sniper with the US Marines. And yes, I'm still a sniper now. I don't carry the rifle for show.
-
Then you must not be good enough then, no talk AND no bite here. An improvement though, I shouldn't complain.
-
Edited by Trashcan Jesus: 8/4/2015 11:12:31 PMSweetheart, all you've done is talk. I've yet to see you put anything to practice, all I have is hearsay. That's all you have with me. Neither of us is in a position to judge. However, you're overlooking a very important aspect: experience. I've been in this game longer than you, I've been behind a gun longer than you. I know what people will do. You may have skill, but you're still a greenhorn.
-
I could say the same for you. You're saying "I'm experienced and know everything, better in every way" and I'm telling you the same as what you just said now, you don't know. Deja vu much? I mean, if you want to come to me and start trash talking the least you can do is have a better backup then "You just suck and I'm better, take my word for it", because that's all you seem to say. You're the guy that thinks he's the best, but is actually just like the rest of us in reality.
-
That's just it. You [i]think[/i] we're like the rest of people. We aren't. Soldiers are a breed all to our own. You and I are one in the same, except you lack control. But that's probably the alcohol, kid.
-
You've been saying the same things I've been saying, mister uptight. Same kind of things in retrospect.
