Approved Submission VDP-1

This suggestion has been implemented. Votes are no longer accepted.
Is there an inspiration for the round?

What is a recoil bar?

Is there an RL pistol that might appear similar to yours?
 
The guide rod. OK, good. Just making sure.

Please make an OOC note that the pistol looks like a 1911.

Your ammo numbers on the gun's page say it's a 14.9 g projectile; the ammo page says 14 and says it is made of lead. If it's straight up lead, and you have an 8 mm round, is it like a rifle bullet? Or maybe a particularly long pistol bullet?
 
Well, I tend to use real life bullets for referencing. I looked at the .45 US standard ball round for weights and the like, just to make sure things make sense. I don't recal metioning lead, but I will change that
 
The weight and the round don't make sense unless you have some denser, fancy sci-fi metal. Or your bullet needs longer dimensions, say the bullet is 20 mm long and fits in a case longer than itself.

I changed the bullet to Duranium. But again, I did use the .45 ACP US Standard Ball round as my reference point. The weight of that is 230 gr (15 g) US Army Ball FMJ so it's actually lighter
 
.45 = 11.43 mm. If you want the same weight with the same material but a smaller caliber, you need a longer bullet.

Do the Vekimen have access to Durandium? Is it viable for them to produce it or make it?

Helpful suggestion: make the bullet 20 mm long, the case 35 mm long and the cartridge PDR2, using only common lead. I'll then approve you.
 
Well, from the wiki it says Durandium is the most common metal type easily produced by most everyone. On top of that, they were given Fabricators as part of a deal with another faction.

I can do that though. I'll fix it shortly, I just find that to be really long for a pistol round.
 
Does the fact Duranium is available to the Vekimen due to the existence of fabricators makes any change? OF course, the Vekimen with their deal could likely afford the equipment needed to make it if Fabricators are not enough
 
I don't understand how this thing is so cheap if it's made of Duranium (a starship and power armor armor!).
 
Bullet was counted in this submission, I have made an edit for the "SLAG" Round. Looking for approval from NTSE Moderator @Fred @Ametheliana

Just a plasma kinetic round that ups the damage tier of the weapon by 1.

My wife is gone for the weekend and was using her computer as it is a desktop with a more reliable keyboard which is why I used her account.
