So as i mentioned in another thread we are doing a snuff job. I'm not to happy with it But I'm working with it. Anyway we found out that the Armory has a Thunderstroke Gauss Rifle! We haven't entered teh armory cause we have a mission to perform, but I have announced that on our way out we should totally grab some guns ammo and that beautiful overcompensator for Usda.

I was informed it's probably a registered weapon by my team. I figure at the very least it is a nice trophy. However, Most things that can be registered can be... erased/disguised. So other than RFID tags, serial numbers and the barrel's finger print how could this piece of sexiness be "erased"?

[FastJack]

Hmm... you'd definitely need a hacker to give it a good once-over. It could be personalized on top of everything else so it won't work for anyone but the owner. In other words, if you grab it, you may have to drop enough cred on it to make it "clean"--If I were GM there, I'd probably get you to pay at least half the cost of the gun to "clean" it.

I'd also check to see it it's giving off any radiation or emissions of any sort.

Getting tracked with a radioactive tag would be bad.

Nice ideas. Fast... thats is just a horrible idea! Paying for something I just stole! I do like how you think!

Thanks keep 'em coming so Doomed can have some fun ideas on how to trip me up. He is nice and devious but you have experience over us in that department!

grinding off serial numbers still doesn't work, just letting you know. It's ridiculously easy to recover them. Just drop some acid on it and the higher-compressed metal where the numbers were doesn't melt away as fast as the looser, unstamped metal.

Yeah, but it hides them from a quick glance and if you get caught with the thing, you're frakked whether they find a serial number or not. I'm not sure it would have ballistics per se. Hypersonic rounds are going to deform beyond all recognition before they even hit the target. Rail guns are known for setting their solid metal slugs on fire from air resistance. Of course if I were a real evil GM, it'd have the crawler drone mod and a commlink in hidden mode. When you go to sleep it gets a call, turns to face you and fires. Or a self destruct. You get the idea. Make sure the team hacker checks and/or jams it. So yeah, get it checked over thoroughly by a gunsmith and a hacker.

Which should cost you about half the price.

We've kinda agreed that the gun's just going to end up on Usda's mantle as a conversational piece. XD It's just so bloody impractical but apparently he has some compensating to do, so we're all just letting him have his little kid in a candy store moment.

If it's one thing Usda isn't its compensating!





Well sorta. He does need some ranged ability and a Thunderstroke IS a nice way to give someone a long distance "Hello!"

Now see thats just uncalled for! Getting shot by your own STOLEN weapon while you sleep is just about the worst way to start your day!

[Wolfboy]

of course an even more evil GM would, after everyone has halfway forgotten about said conversation piece would come up with a run that they would need that heavy a punch on

[FastJack]

If he names it Vera though, all bets are off.

Oh that one's easy.

Just stamp over the numbers with your own numbers a few times instead of grinding.

That way you have higher-compressed gibberish instead of readable numbers.
