Nah, just stubborn zealots who don't have the good sense to just die and leave everyone else alone.

Done for the most part. I plan to fix all typos and stuff later, I had a extremely hard day at work so I'm half brain dead. All the hard info is there.

Jesus, I guess everyone and their mother is taking that mission... I hope the bad guys have enough hardware to keep us entertained.

Just to reiterate, myself and @Liotrent plan on taking the convoy mission as well

Also @Pathfinder, my inner weapons/numbers nut coming out to play, but judging by the picture of the bannerlord, I think your gun is more in line with a +105mm cannon instead of a 60mm cannon.

Not too certain, as I don't know of many ~60mm cannons- except maybe some WWII tank guns- most 60mm shells tend to fall in the line of mortar style weapons as opposed to cannons, which tend to fall into either less than 40mm (rapid firing autocannons) or more than 100mm (heavy tank cannons)

-shit, sorry for doublepost-

I know next to nothing about guns so your inner gun nut is most appreciated. Anything gun related I say is shot in the dark while getting pepper sprayed.

I actually thought that was due to perspective and art style, taking another look it does look more in line with some big AT guns from WW2 reminds me of the Firefly or probably closer to the Jagtiger.

Looking at the size of the guy on the furthest cannon in relation to it, all I can say is that this is a Big Gun.

Most of the mechs I (try to) compare to real life counterparts- giving room for advancements because they're mechs with super generators.

The Bulwark is actually a pretty easy comparison for me, as I looked at it and thought to myself "That's an Abrams Tank." Which means thick armor and a big ole 120mm cannon. Though honestly, the scale on that picture is ridiculous, as the cannon's bore looks to be about the size of a man's torso.

Rifts isn't really known for realism, I'd say the cannons were energy based but I can't really tell if the grooves inside the barrel are meant for rifling. Or whatever the jargon for the spiral grooves are.

Rifling, Lands and Grooves, same thing really. However, a lot of modern day tank cannons are smoothbore now. The point of rifling is to stabilize the projectile in the air by making it spin (sort of like how a football spirals to stay straight). Modern day tank rounds have fin stabilizers so they don't need the rifling.

It actually looks smoothbore to me, but the size, it's like... Huge... Now that... Is a BIG gun

Ya know what, I think I'm going to change the cannons into lasers because I can flub laser weapons and it just seems like that's what the source was going for. I'm going to change the Bulwark from a general purpose fire support into more of a specialized sniper/anti armor role. Like a anti-material rifle but with energy beams.

EDIT: Plus I don't see a place to store torso sized shells/rounds.

I know stuff here a there too about weaponry, so I gave my Mech a Abram's gun cal, but felt it that was wayyyyyy too old of a size/ wouldn't even be effective cause technology would have to had improve something about it. So I bullshitted it up and said it fires a Sabot round sub sonic.
