[hider=Clan MacStewart] [center][img]http://oi67.tinypic.com/21327g4.jpg[/img][/center] [hider=The Stronghold:] Stanley looked upon the refurbishments of the newly crowned Clan MacStewart community centre. It had been a long road, longer for some than others. A long awaited inheritance and a dream of forming a community centre to act as a lightning rod for those of the MacStewart Clan, those bearing the name, by relation or association, family, relatives, friends. Stan had elected to form this centre in the new world due to his vision, Scotland and the UK might have been the old MacStewart stomping ground and that is where the clan chiefs were stationed, and it is true that is where their power is strongest. But in America there were far more new MacStewarts, with a fire in their bellies for community and heritage but they were mostly orphaned from the clan chiefs. The chiefs instead choosing to spend money on refurbishing crumbled castles, there was a word for this, vanity projects. The word whistled out between his lips as Stan looked upon the community centre. It was just a shame it was being done during such dark times. The community centre had been bought land and all buildings using the bulk of the inheritance. It was previously a school built sometime around the 1950s, but due to people moving out of the surrounding area and into the city it had become disused. It had then been bought by a summer camp company due to it facing one of the many mountain lakes, but that had eventually fallen through as well. It had no bunker in the event of a nuclear disaster but it had the next best thing, a gigantic mountain in between it and the city. That surely will protect it from the epicentre. It was fairly out of the way but within driving distance from the main city arteries so people could get there easily. Yes, the children will have fun on the lake while the adults discuss and debate over a cup of coffee. Then Stan remembered and the world went a little greyer. "but what of the future..." He walked around to the back of the school past the fence to the edge of the water, part of the grass was under water "The lakes flooded again". He had built a water screw power generator into a small burn that came off of the lake. It should provide a constant source of power, and when the lake overfills or it rains, that just means free power for the centre. He then looked at the old campsite, the canoe shelter, the wooden jetty. Someone had thoughtfully left some old canoes there that could probably be repaired. Across the water way in the distance there was a house with its own jetty. Stan wondered who also lived on the lake. As he walked back passed the playground onto the outside lunch benches that were under an awning he passed the rusted statue of Ben Franklin. He hadnt had it installed, but Ben Franklin was a good sort of chap and it added extra value to the property. He then entered through the back door to one of the classrooms. It was in a state of disrepair, the paint was peeling and the windows were not insulated, there was litter all over the floor, but it was a start. He then walked into some of the more refurbished parts of the building, the reception area by the new glass double doors, had a new front desk a fresh coat of paint and the most of the rotten wood had been removed. The main reception had been constructed out of brick and mortar and was considerably strong, though some of the rest of the classrooms had been added later. Those were the bits that had stood up better to the test of time. Stan then ventured into what must have been the teachers lounge. It was covered in metal mesh, wall to wall, like a chicken wire coop. The contractors were finishing stapling it down. A faraday cage is easy to make once you know how, all it requires is a mash smaller than the wavelength you want to keep out, or in, and a ground like a lightning rod. The ground they were using here however was the mains electricity. The place looked a mess but in the event of a CMR or EMP nuke whatever was inside the cage would survive, atleast i hoped. This would be the computer room. He went back to the main reception and into the next room, one of the classrooms that had been refurbished into a sitting area. There were many leather couches and bookshelves crammed with books he had bought from libraries that were going out of buisness due to the internet. There were books on all subjects and it was a clan tradition that even the earliest discoverers of the clan had remarked that their stone hovels always had a bookshelf in Gaelic their native tongue. This room had new fireplaces too. He then headed back out to another classroom, this must have been the shop class or maybe the science class. It too had been painted and swept. There in the centre stood the pride and joy of the community centre. A brand new, CNC machine and station. It could cut and shape almost any metal you gave it. The cost of the machine alone was huge and equalled the cost of the Rangerover outside. Sadly there were no steel billets to feed into it. But there were quite a few aluminium billets as these were far cheaper. It was supposed to be rented out to other companies to help pay for its upkeep, but it could equally be used by the Clan to make just about anything that could be designed on computer. And of course there was a huge databank of jobs it could be given.[/hider] [hider=Map:][img]http://oi68.tinypic.com/11l56bl.jpg[/img] The location is on the outskirts of Plattsburgh, New York State. It has a rive fed by the ocean and is equidistant to Albany and Montreal. There are mountain ranges and forrests around, but Plattsburgh even has its own airport. [/hider] [hider=Buildings (WIP):] There are a numbrer of buildings within the school and outside. However i havent drawn a map yet. The Water Screw Turbine.

With this in mind he chose the LWRCi Six8 with non fluted barrel. There are 10 of them in store with 3 magazines each. Users are meant to scavange magazines and if they have to fight make use of the 6.8's range. For this reason they are equipped with a Weaver 800364 Tactical 1-5 X 24 30mm Intermediate Range scope with illuminated reticule for twilight operations. A good supply of 6.8 ammunition and reloading tools have also been purchased. There are also 2 suppressors for special purposes. [/hider] [hider=Undercover Low Training Pistol ULTR][img]https://www.swggun.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/Walther-PPQ.jpg[/img] This pistol is designed to be idiot proof in the way the 1911 is. It was actually at Stans insitance that there was a pistol anyone could use. To this effect they chose the PPQ M2, a pistol with a short reset trigger similar to the 1911, but in polymer so its lighter. Its .40 round is heavy enough to peirce car windows and blocks without losing out. Even better is that the .40 uses the same case as the 6.8 which we have reloading tools for. There are 10 of these and each user has 3 13rd mags and 1 11rd flush fit for undercover work.[/hider] [hider=Fight To Weapon FTW][img]http://armscor.com/images/products/_product_gallery_large/52009_1911-A2_ROCK-Ultra-HC_FS_10mm_rightprofile.jpg[/img]This weapon was designed with offencive use in mind and, beacause a $600 10mm is hard to pass up. Its made by RIA but it It uses the heavier 10mm round from an incredible 16rd magazine. It will support the full sweet of 1911 upgrades, when the user scavanges them. The 10mm round also uses the 6.8 case as its base, it can even be loaded with the same bullet as the .40, Bradley plans to recycle ammunition by reusing cases and harvesting powder from odd caliber ammo they find through scavanging.[/hider] [hider=Personal Defence Weapon PDW][img]http://oi68.tinypic.com/2q0v8mo.jpg[/img]This weapon is there to fill all neiches of the camp carbine and personal defence weapon. It can be used to hunt, for self defence and folds down and goes into a bag. There are 10 of these and they all have 3 31rd magazines. They use the .40 hollowpoint and are light and portable. Most users will be trained on these Sub 2000s in preference to the ULTR due to its longer range and higher chronograph.[/hider] [hider=Multi-role Light Machine Gun M-LMG][img]https://www.impactguns.com/data/default/images/catalog/535/798681553389.jpg[/img] This weapon is intended to fill every neich going for self defence. Its technically a piston driven DMR, but it has been given 5 50rd magazines. Two carried by the gunner and two by the loader. Its meant to be light and handy and use all of that .308 and 7.62nato ammuniton lying around. It is equipped with a weaver scope of the same type as the M-FRC and even a silencer. As the purpose of the LMG or SAW is to lay down suppressing fire for the advance and not move, it was decided to give it a silencer to improve survivabiliy. The Sig 716 Gen2 7.62 Nato FDE is actually fairly light as it only has an 16in barrel. This also means it can be used in vehicles kinda. [/hider] [hider=Light Anti-material Rifle LAR][img]https://www.impactguns.com/data/default/images/catalog/535/SAV_19482S.jpg[/img]This rifle is either for long range shots, or for stopping armoured vehicles from assaulting the center. It cant make its mind up. But it is light.[/hider] [hider=Silent Hunting Platform][img]http://oi66.tinypic.com/2njzvag.jpg[/img][/hider] This is the ultimate solution to the hunting problem. A compressed air arrow firing weapon, the crossman airbow is quieter and can be reloaded with the same arrow again. It can be realoaded by footpump and can fire 8 shots before being empty. It also fires these arrows at a faster speed than even the fastest crossbow. It is easily able to peirce kevlar. There are 3 of these bows for hunting game in the forrest. [hider=Bird Hunting Platform][img]https://1s18w12tqveh1xfywp1ulx42-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/Remington-870-DM.jpg[/img] This system is for hunting birds and other small game. Its a pump action shotgun of the remington 870 design, however it has solved one of the flaws of reloading the system because it uses magazines. There are 6rds in each magazine. It could be used for self defence ofcourse. [/hider] [/hider] [hider=Cloathing systems:] [hider=Combat Equipment][img]http://oi63.tinypic.com/2mobcxx.jpg[/img] The A Tacs FG system was chosen and is one of the best camoflages in the world and matched the woodland environment. Smooth panels were preferred unbroken by lines and edges so as to not give an outline of the operator at mid distance making full use of the camoflage. There is enough equipment to outfit 10 operators aswel as another 10 with armour alone. The armour chosen is DKX because it is water boyant. The skateboard helmets were used because similar to deltaforce in the film black hawk down had realised. No enemy was accurate enough for a headshot and no kevlar helmet with a headshot at cloe range would survive anyway. Its a hard choice but it had to be made. Every vest is equipped with a camel bak fillable waterbladder. Every soldier is equipped with a heated vest to make up for the lack of an outer layer, there are enough of these heated vests for 20 people with 3 recharable batteries each! Each of the 10 men of the fire teams is equipped with a light adjustable weight lifting belt incase of the need to lift heavy objects. They are also equipped with 20 kevlar arm gaurds 10 carbon fibre arm guard and d30 energy absorbing knee guards. There are also Rodel Rosario RESISTOR : ULTRASUEDE armoured gloves with metal knuckles. These serve to break windows. There are enough Merrell light walking boots for 20 people. Lastly there are 100meters of A-TACS FG for cloathing alterations, new suits and repaires. While not shown, each fireteam user is also equipped with a 'Spare Air' 10 minute refillable oxygen tank. This can be used to cross water, in contaminated areas. But the user is told that if they are ever bleeding out they are to immediatly use their oxygen tank as a form of self medication as the oxygen mix is higher than usual, atleast until one of the 4 propper ones can be brought from a vehicle. A side effect of this is to provide a boost to users that are out of breath from long hikes. Each user is also equipped with 2 quick clot patches for bullet and trauma wounds. They are also provided with a epi pen full of adrenaline for the case of finding an unconcious ally. A portable defibrillator and trauma kit are kept in the vehicle at all times. Users communicate to eachother by a sena bluetooth headset with 8 person connection and 2km range. [/hider] [hider=Casual Wear][img]http://oi67.tinypic.com/2v995at.jpg[/img]Casual wear makes use of the heated vests aswell as Gore tex jackets. The clan tartain is available in trousers for over 20 people for day to day wear. Users are expected to suppliment these basic items with whatever fashion their heart desires.[/hider] [hider=Riders Equipment][img]http://oi68.tinypic.com/24gkq4z.jpg[/img] Safety equipment for riders of the electric bikes. Opting for full leathers with additional energy absorbing on the arms and spine provided by the best materials on the market. Which are multiple use to boot. A neck protector and helmet have been provided. There are 2 sets of the armoured gloves also used by the fireteams which will protect the user from losing a nuckle if they skid across the road.[/hider] [/hider] [hider=Vehicles] [hider=Range Rover Sport Hybrid:][img]http://oi64.tinypic.com/25jxbo9.jpg[/img]Range Rover Sport Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle, 137mph 398hp.
