I revise any previous opinions I had on personal sidearm choice. Given enemies without gasmasks, an MGL-6 with laes gas (and/or splash) grenades. Given opponents with gas masks and/or sealed armor, I need a teammate. Said teammate to carry a supersquirt with acid filled paintballs to break the seal. Sure, the grenades are 185-200ny a shot but they also drop anyone who can't make 10 hits on their toxin resistance.

Edit: Make that leal gas. If you need more than 90 minutes, you're doing something wrong.

I still roll my eyes seeing Stargate soldiers being sent into frontline combat with personal defense weapons, though.

In Atlantis they had G36... Sometimes. ;P

In the rulebook it says that you can't mount bigger weapons on a vehicle than a LMG. But somethin like a Hotspur should be able to handle that. I can understand that if your mounting weapons in a racing bike you can't get beyond SMGs, but an off-road truck should be able to haul a big MG.

Balance issues probably. So you won't mount six panther cannons and a gauss rifle on your truck.

But a single Chaingun or HMG should be doable

Sure you can. You just need a vehicle Body rating of 6 or higher.

This does, in fact, mean though that an Otomo drone can technically by the numbers be fitted with a Aztechnology Itzcóatl Gauss Cannon in a reinforced mount.

Fortunately, we have GMs to mitigate this silliness.

I suddenly want to see an Otomo drone fitted with one.

I'm not entirely sure why.

You say silliness, I say fun.

Silliness is relative. My current SR character is a pixie with a literal pink mohawk driving a human suit around.

While it was designed as a defensive weapon, the P90 has largely escaped that niche. It's especially popular with special forces groups, who use it as an offensive weapon. And SG teams are largely small special forces units.

That said, I'm sure that the producers chose the P90 mainly because it's a sweet high tech piece.

And it's pratical to carry around, packs a punch, lets you easily give covering, or supressing fire, and has a lot of ammo for a PDW.

Like that data you just stole from that secret corporate facility. It's yours now. Finders keepers.

Speaking of a sweet tech piece of hardware what do you all think about the H&K MP-7?  Might not have a 50 rds capacity but a 40 rds detachable box magazine is pretty cool.  I fell in love with it when I saw the Baroness using it in the G.I. Joe live action movie.
