I can't help but wonder what you mean by 'lesser' caliber and a 'higher' caliber.

I think he is trying badly to describe length and size.

It's easier to use vague terms then knowing the exact caliber of different types of weapons that can get confusing if you don't have a lot of gun knowledge such as myself.

I guess, though I'd flip a massive desk if I saw a character literally tank hundreds of 25mm autocannon rounds without so much as a flesh wound being the end result.

EDIT: Well, unless it was a high-tier character.

Then ok.

Somehow they made a half squirrel girl cool (in your signature).

I think General freedom could tank a few of those.

I like it too.

That sig does more fighting here then the sig user.

And her opponent is air. XD

Makoto Nanaya is badass as hell. She punches people THROUGH the moon!

I kind of want to see how a fight between Fury and Snar would look like.

If I did enter the MV with a weapon like a 25mm autocannon, I'd probably make it a revolver-type autocannon with an integrated rate-of-fire governor to prevent wasteful ammunition, with the weapon functioning more like an anti-material rifle than as a simple fully-automatic weapon of mass destruction. The trade-off with one of these is that you get a very accurate and very potent weapon, but your ammunition is bulky and heavy, while reloading the weapon is probably a chore. On account of how fast many of the characters in this MV move (and due to a lot of their strange abilities and secondary powers), spraying mindlessly probably just won't cut it.

Plus, I'd be firing high-explosive rounds, so I get a sizable area-of-effect attack to boot.

Though, my character would have to have suitable strength to use this. The recoil would be absolutely savage.

I will say that AOE attacks are the best kind of attack to use in the Arena.

A 9mm parabelum and a .50 BMG.

Like Snar finally dying.

Yup.

Need to replace him at some point.

Probably pretty punchy.

Although even Fury might be able to work out that flying a couple meters in the air and throwing rocks at him from afar is the most effective way to kill him.

Well sadly in T1 exactitude is paramount so that people know and understand what is being employed against them. Clarity of understanding is the most important thing. Merely saying "I have a big gun" does nothing to tell me what caliber it is nor what I can reasonable expect my armor to stop. If you say you have the M242 Bushmaster 25 mm auto-cannon we can define the ranges of the weapon, such as the effective firing range of 9,800 ft and a maximum range of 22,300 ft. These allow the players to determine distances when they can reasonable engage down range. It also allows for the user of said cannon to define the ammo they are using in the magazine.

Hm.

So I guess when I make another character that uses traditional firearms, I'll have to disclose the weapon's specifications?

[Skallagrim]

You should at least know the caliber so that if it comes down to it we can compare the known ballistic protection of body armor and extrapolate that to high-tech theoretical armor.

I see.

[Skallagrim]

I am fair in all things except Rilla....

And let's not forget super magicky armor.
