Carbineer Archive

Is it possible that the creature mounts will be our (carbineers) saving grace?

Think about it.

Ok, so we know that you can't use specials when on a mount. So what makes more sense? Shooting a pistol, shooting a rifle, or shooting a carbine, the SWG version of a sub-machine gun. Which really would hit the most? I think it would be the one spraying out massive amounts of energy/bullets.

Not claiming that it's gonna happen, just claiming it would make sense. Also not claiming that anything having to do with Carbines is gonna make sense, either.

Apparently I don't know know the secret carbine handshake...

No one else thinks that a carbine could be a major weapon when riding a creature mount?

What I really meant was;

"Devs! Plz fix HAM U N00bs!"

That always gets a response. I give up.

Hehe. Don't give up so fast. There's a bunch of us I think drooling over the prospect of firing carbines mounted. I read somewhere you won't be able to use specials - so I figure carbine is going to be the favoured weapon of drive-by specialists.

Imagine a speed sliced laser carbine in the hands of a master firing at 1 shot per second as you tool around town in your pimpmobile. I know I can't wait =)

According to Websters

"Carbine

\Car"bine\, n. [F. carbine, OF. calabrin carabineer (cf. Ot. calabrina a policeman), fr. OF & Pr. calabre, OF. cable, chable, an engine of war used in besieging, fr. LL. chadabula, cabulus, a kind of projectile machine, fr. Gr. ? a throwing down, fr. ? to throw; ? down + ? to throw. Cf.] (Mil.) A short, light musket or rifle, esp. one used by mounted soldiers or cavalry."

So, It would be nice if we kicked AS$ while mounted.
