[quote]I take it with the reference to the Game Fallout that people play a lot of video games and truly crave a militant environment and it's attendant acts of violence.[/quote]

I think in this case it's more for preparation in case of violence rather than a desire for violence. I want to scavenge, not hunt people. Besides, this is a post-natural-apocalypse. It's all about survival, and with survival comes violence one way or another. Everyone doesn't get to survive when there are limited resources. Not everyone will be generous when they risk starving to death.

It'd be cool to use the tank cannon to clear debris or something. Like, you'll make a path, but you risk gathering a lot of attention.

I like it.
