Arkingham G.O.I Personel Weapons Remake (1): The Arkingham Military Forces

"Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard, and International Forces; all these branches create the Arkingham Military Forces, the pride and saint guardians of this lovely nation.

Since our creation after the fall of the Nationalist Republic of Arkingham during the fallout of World War 2, we have been doing our part to keep our society together and defended from all kinds of threats. From the Soviets during the Cold War, the anarchists from the Masquerade during the 1990s to 2000s, and even corrupt capitalists from the Decade of Recovery from the 2010s, we have been serving the people of Arkingham with no fear, because no matter where we are, we are willing to take the challenge!

These days, however, the age of war has changed drastically, and missions from decades before seem like a day in the office until now. With threats coming out from all directions, we may be vulnerable, but with you? We can keep this planet safe from war, so join us for the good fight!" - AMF

AMF: ARK-Soul Destroyer (A specially designed, select-fire, 100-300 round, belt-fed machine gun primarily designed for the Arkingham Militarized Forces for their various operations; this lightweight, and effective MG design can also be used in a 45-round, mag-fed model, which can be done so through a conversion kit, including replaceable parts for more powerful rounds, along with other attachments including an extended barrel, extended 75-round, drum-mags/400-round, extended belt-fed mags, foregrip, bipod, etc. An ideal weapon to provide covering fire while maintaining mobility!)

AMF: ARK-Hell Messengers (A reloadable, devastating, 4-round rocket launcher used during times of intense conflict, especially under adrenaline, or an ambush towards the AMF in their countless operations, this hefty-yet-manageable rocket launcher has a built-in scope that can easily be attached and adjusted when aiming down at your target. Just remember, if you miss the first time, there are always 3 more rockets waiting for you; if not, a battle buddy carrying the extra rockets for endless clearing and fun!)

Firearm weaponry brainstorm.

Antimaterial Handgun.

Bullpup Shotgun.

Beltfed Tank.

A revolver with a rotating hammer rather than a rotating drum.

Gyroscope-equipped assault rifle.

DMR with adjustable rifling (clockwise, smoothbore, counterclockwise).

Magnetic bullets to be a complete bitch (if two such bullets land near one another, they would prove hard if not impossible to pluck out by doctors), paired with a nonmagnetic weapon itself.

Katar-type grip pistol.

Polearm, but with an assault rifle nozzle instead of a head. Can double as a pike if you attach a spike. Heavy, lower recoil, greater control.

Gun that recycles bullet casings, assembling new bullets out of cases, powder and shot on the spot rather than ready-go.

Lantern shield but with a gun in there.

I don't believe this is something I have to say, but truspec pants, a grunt style shirt, and a kryptec hat with a patch on it that says (I wish I was joking) "grayman" are the exact antithesis of grayman. The only way you could be less grayman is if you were OC'ing a beltfed.

Today's thought of wackiness: A beltfed musket. The belt would be linked kinda like a bike chain only wider. Each post between the links is a chamber like in a revolver cylinder. You pour the powder down the toob, but the bullet on top, use the piston to force it down, move onto the next one. When they're all loaded place a cap on the nipple and crimp. Have a little box to store your chain in with a kind of track to guide it up to the gun with the back enclosed to protect the primer from getting knocked off. Have an internal striker kinda like a glock but blunted to act as a hammer rather than a pin.

Since black powder isn't legally classified as a firearm full auto is on the table so I'd like to see some kind of gas piston that can advance the belt to the next link and reset the hammer.

I wonder how much of a mess it would be after a 100rd belt.

Ok so back in the 70s/80s there was a Qanon-sized conspiracy that the Vietnamese hadn't given America back all its captured soldiers and was keeping some of them in jungle POW camps (just for fun I guess?) even after the Vietnam war officially ended. Though not an impossibility (see: that one Japanese soldier who only stopped fighting WWII in 1974) the general consensus at this point is that the foundation of this conspiracy theory was a coping mechanism for families who refused to accept the fact that their sons listed MIA were truly gone rather than any concrete evidence that the Viet Cong (literally just the Vietnamese government at this point in history) were secretly keeping GIs locked up in the 10-20 years after the war.

The reality is that when you send a generation of young men into a jungle-shaped meatgrinder, you're not going to recover or even confirm all of your dead. Even if those MIA soldiers survived the ambush/plane crash, they'd have essentially been dropped in the middle of a jungle with minimal survival equipment. Unfortunately, the very fact that these boys were drafted into a pointless war in the first place, combined with the treatment of the veterans that made it back, meant that public trust in the government was at an all time low--something that current events have proven to have bred the worst kind of conspiracy theories: the politically impactful ones.

Which is why even now the POW/MIA flag flies in front of many state and federal buildings, the equivalent of your governor unfurling a WWGOWGA banner in front of the statehouse. All this context is required to understand the events that formed Rambo: First Blood Part 2, the 1985 analog to a present day "Pizzagate: The Movie."

On a scale of one to "shred the local police station with a beltfed machine gun," Rambo in First Blood is not doing great at coping with Vietnam, but the movie delivers an elegant, tragic look at how society dealt with veterans of a war it never wanted. And so for the sequel, they brought in George Cosmatos, a director known for what Entertainment Weekly calls "Rock Em Sock Em" movies and whose son would go on to functionally kick off the Nic Cage Renaissance.

First Blood Part 2 lands on the "how well did you take losing the Vietnam war" scale somewhere between "denial through affirmation of nutjob conspiracies" and "going back and killing the russians because they're the REAL bad guys." Which is to say that it handles the transition from thoughtful first film to action icon second film a tad worse than Terminator 2, if only because Terminator 2 never involved plot points about rescuing Nam Vets who were secretly still being kept prisoner a decade after the war ended.

I can't hate on the film that much because you don't hire the corny 80s action director and expect him not to make a corny 80s action film, and the POW/MIA conspiracy functionally no longer matters outside of decorating the back of goateed boomers' Harley Davidson motorcycles. The action is corny and fun, and the pre-9/11 tinhat theories are more objects of curiosity than anything. Yet I would debate that this film doesn't carry on the reputation of the original the same way that Alien carries over to the more action oriented Aliens or Home Alone carries over to Home Alone 2: Lost in New York.

Rambo: First Blood ends with John Rambo--disturbed special forces veteran who's take apart an entire town and humiliated state police, local sheriffs, and the national guard-- sobbing like a baby, lamenting bitterly the deaths of every single friend he had in his unit and his fate in a society that has discarded him as politically inconvenient. It's powerful, watching this mountain of muscle shaped into a killing machine fully break down and weep into the arms of his former commanding officer.

In Rambo 2 he ends the film by kicking the bad guy from Karate Kid in the crotch and then shooting up a bunch of computers. The difference between the films is clear.

Bullets going right through!

did you know twitch, leonra?

“You think because I was a fish in the Fleet, that I knew every other fish in the Fleet? Or maybe, because I’m a Monark, I knew the other dozen of them?

No. I never even heard of her until I was long free. She was doing simulations with academy computers in a fancy sterile environment. Four walls, Fleet-approved meals, and a bed to sleep in every night. By that point I was already feeding beltfeds and standing in Deepbite’s shadow.”

Everyone gangsta about beltfeds until they realize that being the sole operator of what is supposed to be a three man team weapon fucking socks. -RPK gang

Strangely enough even the sketchiest Donbas-era homeless gang militias I've worked with always assigned an AG (except that one squad that for some reason fielded nothing but dragunovs and PKMs with suppressors for everyone), but granted I've yet to see anybody on earth actually field gun teams with an AB outside of like basic training scenarios where the company is at like 200% strength.

Also the RPK is a funny case because, unlike the 249, I have seen little to no evidence it exists. I've seen loadouts from Tapco'd up SKS's to a guy with two Stechkens, a standalone GP25 and an RPG-7 with that garage-rig setup that replaces the normal warheads with 120mm mortars, and I've still never seen an RPK in person.

A while back a lefty friend was saying that she wished The Purge was real so she could go after Elon. I pointed out that she supports gun control and would get mowed down if she tried. She said "they can't shoot all of us".

I told her Elon's not dumb. He knows a lot of people fucking hate him and he would likely hunker down in a fortified position with a bunch of armed guards with beltfed machine guns. Her response was "who's to say none of us would have a beltfed?".

Well first of all the gun control retards don't realize that actual machine guns are heavily restricted. A few $50,000 beltfeds aren't going to bankrupt Elon but if you're crying that you can't afford groceries I'm betting you won't be able to afford one.

Secondly your average gun control supporter doesn't know shit about tactics. Holding down a fortified position with a machine gun is a hell of a lot easier than walking head on into oncoming fire to assault said fortified position.

They can daydream all they want but they're delusional if they think their pent up rage is going to win the day against a far better armed and far better trained enemy.

A while back one of my friends shared a post on Facebook about a line wrapping around the block to fuck Elon's shit up during The Purge. I told her she's got so much anxiety she's too afraid to ask for ketchup let alone go marching towards a fortified position that's almost certainly going to be defended with machine guns. Her response was "he doesn't have enough bullets for all of us".

I told her that the beltfed has plenty of bullets for her and all her friends. Her reply is "what if we have a beltfed of our own?"

Well, again the position is fortified. Holding a position with a beltfed machinegun is a lot easier than trying to storm the place with one.
