OOC: As the winner of the last one and currently involved in dastardly deeds, I will now giggle at all of you.

Say Griffy, you interested in a rifle/shotgun combination as a PDW?

Talk to me about it in either Universal Exports or Integrated Storefront, since neither has you in bad standing.

Sounds interesting.

People, if you get 12 of 15 I am giving you something you wont believe here.

How many did I get right?

Do I win a loser Sportmanship Award?

So far you have all done very poorly....

Lil idea to add yet more options to your storefront.

Combintion break action rifle/shotgun. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combination_gun)

With a multitude of calibers and gauges.
Over/under configuratio of course.

The ability to take it down and stow the barrel and some ammo in the stock would be a plus as well. Scope and slings would be optional.

The model that came to mind was the Savage Model 2400 12 ga/0.308 cal shotgun/rifle.

That or a barrel/chamber swap like the Model 219/220.

The Five Points Mafia would like to purchase 1,000 example of these rifles and shotguns for about $100 each. Chambered for 3" 12 ga and 6.5x55 Scandinavian* (rifle barrel with integral sound suppressor for an additionl $75).
Total cost: $175,000
*Although 7.62x54 R with optional 7.62x39 inserts is tempting...
How about 500 of each combination?

I'd like to think of it as a cheap 'assault' rifle with small 'underbarrel' grenade launcher.

Edit: nevermind the sale, I'll just convert the existing 200 SxS shotguns you sold me earlier with an adjustable peep sight down the rifle barrel, using the shotgun barrel as the liner for the new integral sound suppressor*. Then proccure some bolt action LSSs and strap them to my rifles/pistols**

*On a 24" shotgun barrel, with 18" rifle barrel insert, that gives me 6" of pure sound suppression, plus 12" additional suppression between the barrels.

**In shotgun/pistol config, it would have the shotgun acting as host to the handgun/SMG.

Sounds interesting.

People, if you get 12 of 15 I am giving you something you wont believe here.
I'll try my best to get 12.
Plus, note who came up with the new PDW idea...
Do I get bonus points?

15) There is only one person in the world who Claudius Griffincrest legitimately cares about. Who is it?

1) Conflicts with the GASN, most likely the Kravan wars, plus the Wanderjarian GSG-9 assaults on the Giffencrest family sometime shortly before the Chitzi civil war.
2)Khornate Tribes
3)3, A daughter and two sons.
4) Tiberius and Julia Griffencrest, Julia tends to hang with Cordelia Blackhelm. I belive the third was killed by the GSG-9.
5) Just guessing here: Leafanistan's Red Tide Mafia, Vik Kamasha (Near Antarctica), and some irradiated wasteland place I don't remmember the name of because it goes merely by the name 'Husk'.
6)The AV-18 Luna made by Velkya
7) Chariot MBT and Mars LBT (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=507550)
8) Well... Cornelius Pureheart is the senator... ot sure about Blueblood...
9) Griffencrest Rapid Response Force, ran into them once or twice before..
10)Jack Phoenixclaw is the Corprate guy that does the books. Used to be temproary CEO after each of C.GC's faked assasinations.
11) Mercury APC, which even though it is infirior to the HT-101, outsells it, except amongst the CA, particularily in Iragia... (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=523198)
12) Julius Griffincrest, never met the guy.
13)Arms dealings, mostly exports (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=511917).
14) Wanderjar's GSG-9, though I came pretty close... (he kept rubbing it in)
15) Besides his direct family, the chain smoking Leafanistani Mafia arms Dealer who has a problem with burning hats -'Johnie'. His wife is considered direct family and/or died and thus doesn't count.

I find it odd that you didn't ask how many holes/gates you had in your seawalls (3) or your airports (5 in BC, one in the Husk -most likely fully operational again by now- and another blown out crater with your name on it in New Roanoke Island)

Huh after talking to some people on msn I was actually close on a bunch..just wasn't exact enough..oh well I did well considering I have little interaction with BC or Griffencrest

I'll try my best to get 12.

I had a feeling you would know more than the rest of these guys. You got 9 out of 15, but since you do seem to know alot about the corporation, especially with the airports and seawalls, you will recieve the prize if nobody else can answer better by thursday.

it is now thursday, last day of quizing.

nobody?

How about I get points for effort? :D

It's now Saturday, when do we get told how much of a dumbass we each are?

Since everyone did awful, I am bringing this around for one more go.
