Einar: (@Albert) Eviscerator.

(@Six) chain weapons are most effective in an astartes's hands. There are powered weapons but I find them finnicky.

(@Quartz) that is fair.

-there are a shit ton of names carved into this thing-

Six: -to Einar- I don't think close-quarters is part of UNSC doctrine.

If you've let your enemy get within melee range, you've made a grave tactical error.

@Six Albert: " 'Tactic error', you say? That's just called 'Well, I'm out of ammo, time to kill you slowly' or 'Guns are expensive, but check out this thing' tactics back home."

@Einar Albert: "Does it act like a chainsaw without the bulkyness?"

Einar: we found it, in the remains of a battlefield dating back to the heresy. We do not know who fought there but this was the only weapon still working, and it was painted in our colors as if it had been waiting for us to retrieve it to carry it to new battles.

Six: -to Albert- ...or, in other words, "tactical error".

-to Einar- Almost like it'd been dropped in from the past, huh?

-Suzu pops up near the oters, how long was she there? Honestly I just want to play after melting my brain on a program only to find out I did it compleatly wron :/-

Suzu: What about trenches? Long range doesn't exactly work in them...

Six: -to Suzu- It's important to know how to fight hand-to-hand or with a knife. But if you're facing a literally entrenched enemy, that's when you break out smoke grenades, armored vehicles, air support, and close-quarters firearms.

Shotgun beats sword.

Einar: (@Quartz) no, but it's not picky when it comes to fuel and even the tiniest drops can allow it to operate for days. This is why I've been buying some much space wolf ale lately.

(@Six) perhaps, fate moves in mysterious ways. The sector we reside in holds many secrets from what I've seen. Also shotgun does not beat sword when you're fighting a daemon who can only be banished with blunt force and flame.

(@Asagi) Yes, most marine weapons have a backstory. Rarely is something 'just' a weapon, but regardless eventually when I die, this eviscerator will be passed on to a new Kerberos Astartes who will use it to add more stories to its history.

@Einar How many guys have used that sword?

Suzu: Shotgun runs out of ammo, and risks perferoating your own men in the crowded trenches. >.<

Six: -to Asagi- ...Hm. Fair point.

I'm just working with my reference point of tactics and equipment. I mean, if swords are what's in vogue and firearms are clunky old matchlocks, well...

-to Suzu- You can dismiss any firearm with "it runs out of ammo". Of course it will, ammunition is a basic requirement of ranged weapons. Doesn't stop me from moking out a swordsman 300 metres before he can do anything but think angry thoughts.

Friendly fire is a valid concern, though. But like I said - if you're attacking a trench you want to be charging across no man's land in a tank. Or attacking from the air.

Einar: (@Asagi) at this point approximately 37 men and 1 woman have used this blade. This does not count who ever used this eviscerator during the heresy.

Six: Hmm...

Well, from your reference point, yeah. But from mine, well, Acheron Security's got a few factories scattered about dedicated to producing Scorpions.
