AUTO-ORDNANCE GOES LIVE WITH THE "1776" 1911

Auto-Ordnance / KAHR Firearms Group has gone live with their latest in custom pistols with the new “1776” 1911 handgun. Auto-Ordnance states “The “1776” 1911 features a coiled serpent and skull engraved on its aluminum grips, with the statement “Pry it From My Cold Dead Hands”. “Shall not be infringed” is engraved on the left side of the slide, and “76” is circled with thirteen stars on the…

"Hunters Aid Smokes Fund," Windsor Star. January 8, 1943. Page 5. --- If there is a shortage of meat and the soldiers need smokes, hunting jackrabbits will help some, in the opinion of Jack Critchley (left) and Lorenz Borotolotto, Ford Local 200 members, who are shown with part of a recent hunt. The rabbits were sold and the proceeds accrue to the Smokes Fund. Critchley, whose son, Jack W., is now overseas with the Ordnance Corps, says it is really a Triple Victory program because recreation improves the health of war workers working long hours. Critchley intends to propose the establishment of a gun club by Local 200 similar to that operated by Local 222, Oshawa.

Auto-Ordnance Company - SQUADRON 1911

[vexwerewolf]

I'm trying to make a hybrid CQB and melee mech and I have no idea which mech to choose for that

The new Raleigh variant, the Stortebeker, is literally built for this. You can do it one of two ways:

1. Slap two Main melee weapons in the Flex slots and a powerful loading weapon in the Heavy slot. I recommend the Bolt Thrower which comes with the Raleigh 2 license because it doesn't have the Ordnance tag. In terms of Main Melees, two Charged Blades are never a bad idea but if you have spare LLs available you can grab Nelson 1 for the War Pike. For those with many LLs to spare, instead grab Mourning Cloak 3 and run two Variable Swords. Having the first level of the Duelist talent is functionally a requirement for this build.

2. Slap four Hand Cannons in the Flex slots and a powerful melee weapon in the Heavy slot. The Kinetic Hammer from Raleigh 3 is an obvious choice, but if you're feeling truly decadent you can splash all the way to Balor 3 for the Nanobot Whip. If you've only got two LLs to spare, the GMS standard Heavy Melee Weapon is a perfectly respectable choice. If you're at LL3, applying the Auto-Stabilizing Mounts Core Bonus to your Heavy melee weapon is a very good choice.

The Stortebeker has a trait called Dynamic Reload, which says that if you crit with a non-Auxillary melee weapon, you reload all ranged Loading weapons that weren't fired this turn. (Technically it also works the other way round, but because only one Loading melee weapon actually exists in the core book, this is way less relevant)

The Stortebeker also has Truesilver. Once per fight, it lets you turn a regular hit with a non-loading weapon into a crit. This doesn't change the damage it deals, but it does cause all of an attack's on-crit effects to trigger, including Dynamic Reload.

The basic idea here is that you run on a two-turn cycle. On the first turn, you slam in with your loading ranged weapons, dealing tons of damage. The next turn, you slam in with your melee weapons, fishing for crits to reload your ranged weapons with. This is why Duelist 1, the Variable Sword or an accurized Heavy melee are so powerful - having at least point of Accuracy significantly increases your chance of landing a crit. If you really need your ranged weapons back and you didn't get a crit, you can use Truesilver to convert a regular hit into a crit.

If all else fails, the Stortebeker has two additional options: Hopkins Doctrine, which lets you reload all Loading weapons not fired this turn as a quick action, and your Ult, Truesilver Arsenal, which simply lets you use Truesilver three more times this fight.

The Valley of Fear: Darkness

Here are some examples of tweed suits:

These suits were commonplace at the time as outerwear as they coped well with the British climate; remember this is January and it can be quite cold even though snow is pretty uncommon these days in Southern England.

Police tape did not come around until the 1960s. Until then, crime scene security involved police officers standing guard, a rather hard task in the countryside.

The Pennsylvania Small Arm Company is fictitious. T

he main firearms company out of the Keystone State today is the Kahr Firearms Group, who moved there from New York in 2014 when the latter state tightened up its firearms laws. It having bought up the Auto-Ordnance Company and Magnum Research, it is the company that sells the Desert Eagle for those who want oversized handguns and also semi-automatic versions of the Thompsons submachine gun, including the 50-round magazines. Individuals cannot purchase weapons from them directly though; you have to go through an authorised firearms dealer. They do not do shotguns, sawed-off or otherwise.

They are common on coats of arms. As the symbol of the Kingdom of Scotland, they feature more than once on both the UK and Scottish royal coat of arms, including one wearing the Tudor and Scottish Crowns respectively:

There is no requirement to pay road tax on pedal bikes - unlike motorbikes. However, taking them on holiday to France could lead to issues with Customs; it still can in some cases since Brexit.

Thompson Model 1928A1 Sub-Machine Gun from Connecticut, United States of America dated to 1941 on display at the Imperial War Museums North in Manchester, England

The Thompson Auto Ordnance Company was struggling by 1940 but with the outbreak of the Second World War in Europe they started providing weapons to the Allies. The British Empire bought up many of these weapons for their armies all around the world. Compared to other sub-machine guns like the Sten, they were more expensive but were more powerful and sturdier.

This gun was used in the Eighth Army, a Field Army made up of British, ANZAC, Indian, Libyan and Polish soldiers. They fought in the campaigns of North Africa, Tunisia and then later the invasion of Italy.

Better A Fratboy Than A Presbyterian

In the grim darkness of the far future there is only war. You know the deal. Bugs, robots, space elves, communist aliens, ork football hooligans and so on. Such a state of events is crazy, untenable and there are apparently two ways to deal with it.

You can figure out that the immature jingoistic fratboys praying to Prosperity and Democracy are the Helldivers. They're basically the last fifty years of US Army in pop culture distilled into something so over the top that you'd have to be really dense not to read it as satire, particularly when it goes "How do you like the taste of AAAARGH MY LEG!" Those guys are ridiculously stupid yet gung-ho jocks armed with potentially dangerous weapons and routinely calling in heavy ordnance at danger close. Their motivation is to put the sonofabitch on the other side six feet under, just like General Patton said. They're optimistic about the whole thing, because they have Democracy and Prosperity promised as the reward. The absurdity of war here is that they're indoctrinated to believe they're invincible: they're gonna scream "WOOOOO!" like Ric Flair, ride the bomb like Major Kong, do a lot of suicidal shit, enjoy every moment of it and maybe even survive it by accident, then celebrate it by tebowing.

Now, the other side. Why "Presbyterian", specifically? This one comes from some British sketch that I've seen on Tumblr, I think it was titled "The Ulsterman". The titular Ulsterman was a stiff guy at a party, with a disdainful expression that was explained to be a very realistic depiction of a "Presbyterian scowl", something typical of Ulstermen who are notorious for being complete and utter party poopers. An Ulsterman is a Stop Having Fun Guy, because Having Fun Is A Sin. And so, the Empire in Warhammer 40000 is every conservative cliche from the Spartans to Margaret Thatcher rolled into one huge dysfunctional feudal cult running on the typical "dulce et decorum" bullshit where you're a nobody, everybody around you is a nobody and all of you would do best dying FOR DEE EMPRAH as officially ordered. It's death, paranoia and oppression all around, an all stick, no carrot deal that hasn't fallen apart yet only due to Plot Armor. Then you have the whole thing with monastic, genetically modified super soldiers half of whom just up and quit because of some contrived reasons and got into some badly written devil worship. Oh, and the weirdos who fuck toasters and enjoy the monopoly on building and maintaining all the tech because of the British auto industry's track record and some religious idiocy shamelessly stolen from Frank Herbert. The whole thing wants to sound deep and complex but comes out as merely daft, pompous and contrived instead. It's not even original, telling the same jokes as half of the British pop culture, but worse and long past the point of relevance.

Auto Ordnance M1A1 Thompson - .45-70 Gov't

[gijoe-forever]

The H.A.V.O.C. (Heavy Articulated Vehicle Ordnance Carrier) is one of the toughest vehicles in the Joes' arsenal. It is a curious sight. With an impact-resistant, tilt-back canopy and a 2-person prone-position cockpit that take up the whole front cabin, it is surprising that it is actually one of the better armored vehicles and can withstand a lot of punishment. Nevertheless, it is best suited to short, heavy fire campaigns.

The H.A.V.O.C. is a well armed vehicle. Its main weapons are the dual "Leveler" 75mm cannons located at the sides of the hydraulic mid-gunnery post. The cannons are recoilless, allowing them to keep moving and firing without missing a beat. A pair of nose guns and a pair of "Repeater" auto-load 9mm machine guns at the rear supplement the H.A.V.O.C.'s firepower. Should the H.A.V.O.C. find itself being chased about, it has 4 "Lancer" bi-pulse anti-armor heat-seeking missiles which can be fired from the rear. Fully armed, it has a gross weight of 54 tons. Its powerful 9 L, 900 hp twin turbo diesel engine allows it to reach speeds of 40 mph and an operational range of 419 mi.

One of the more interesting features is that the H.A.V.O.C.'s rear unit conceals a launchable 1-man ground effect vehicle (GEV) which can act as a backup fighter or advanced scout. For a small craft, it has a top speed of 60 mph and range of 80 mi. The GEV's only offensive weapons are a pair of computer-synchronized 7.62mm machine guns. The craft is powered by a 110 hp "Blower" direct ignition engine and its airfoil consists of 2 vertical-pitch control lifting hover fans.

I can tell no more, for this is the sum total of existing information: 1) one example exists in the Quantico armory (at least as of 2018) 2) it was assembled at the FBI Academy Gun Vault 3) The date and reason for its assembly have been lost. 4) a handful of additional Thompsons were converted by Auto-Ordnance at request of the FBI I even looked through my copy of Bill Vanderpool's excellent book Guns of the FBI, and found no mention of the 10mm Thompson there, so it is obscure even among experts. Given only one was ever made, this is to be expected to a degree.

The United States Federal Bureau of Investigation's mysterious, but very real, Model 1921AC Thompson submachine gun. In 10x25mm Auto.

No records remain of when exactly, or indeed why, it was created, though it is likely it was created sometime in the early 1990s when the FBI used 10mm pistols (and HRT used 10mm MP5s, which they still retain today, though in limited use). But I mean. C'mon. Does it need to be explained?

You have a classic "gangster era" Model 1921AC Thompson. It's not that much of a job to modify it for 10mm. Wouldn't you? I would.
