That doesn't mean it's just spray-n'-pray either. Sure it's no sniper rifle but it is still accurate enough to effectively target an area.

I have no idea why most of you guys didnt bring your HPARs. Only Chad did and his suit doesn't even come standard issue with it!
(Though, in that case, Chad's RAPTOR carbine might still be in the weapons case in his suit.)
Infantry small arms is going to do jack shit against Ripper armor, much less Ripper shields. Panzerfaust works very well, but there is always the danger of interception unless you fire it while the target is distracted or very close.
Time to break out those Vibroknives, at least those are rated against PA.
Final Tip: Rippers will not melee unless you're very close or the nearby Commander-Type is dead.
Good luck.

First, You don't put a scope on a gun that beams telemetry straight to the PA it's wielded by. Second... well, I don't know what's second, oh right; second, things like ballistic properties and range affect one's ability to hit with a weapon, and as we discussed, the HPAR is probably a generally inaccurate weapon. The thing is, it normally has the firing computers and Savtech of a PA to fix that problem; man-ported, you're lucky if the thing has iron sights.

Fian, all VBCS systems are rated for anti-armor work.

Well he did say 'An Area'. Considering the high speed of PA combat and things like autododge, I would want my rapid firing weapon to have some natural spread.
But anyways, the effectiveness of normal infantry using PA weaponry is speculative at best. I can't say for sure because I'm not the designer of the weapon.

I did tell them to break it out.

You know, me and my brother (Sanderford) were actually talking about that before I saw this post. We were talking about how in certain situations, a weapon with naturally tight grouping might actually be a little detrimental.
This makes me feel happy that I was smart enough to come to that conclusion. :lol:

The 4 Wise Rules of Engaging Unknowns in a Battle with Mishhu
Rule One: Mishhu don't retreat.
Rule Two: If somebody says they have, shoot first, ask questions later.
Rule Three: If that somebody is a Sergeant, ask with a gun, then shoot if he tries to shoot first.
Rule Four: If he doesn't shoot, he's Mishhu; shoot the subordinates before they shoot first.
Rule Five: Hope everyone is who they say they are and nobody shoots before your commanding officer resolves the situation.

There are two extra rules there, Cy83r.

Actually, they would have lower body temperatures, considering they're dead people inhabited by parasite-things. At least, that's what I think.

Well, it makes sense to me if they're dead. When the brain shuts down then usually the body's systems will too = dead. By the time where they are as matured as the Marines you guys are fighting, it seems perfectly logical that they would have distinctively lower core temperature.

Well it doesn't necessarily require a living body. But I was wrong again D:
