1377849762021.Pdf In the crowded streets of Mogadishu sits a downed Blackhawk surrounded by a tyrannical warlord and his drug-crazed warriors. In the villages of Iraq lurk insurgents led by the ruthless al-Qaeda. In the arid desert of the Bakaw Valley is a terrorist training camp. In the mountains of Tora Bora lurks Osama bin Laden and his fanatical followers. Against these desperate foes are the most advanced armies ever created. But after the smoke from the smart bombs has cleared, it’s the infantry who must go in and finish the job. These are today’s threats. These are Modern Ops. Modern Ops lets you recreate the battles of the modern world, from regular mili- tary operations to special forces actions in Iraq, Afghanistan, the Soviet Union, and more. You’ll find complete troop lists for today’s combat- ants, including vehicles and aircraft, as well as our trade- mark Savage Tales and random Events that make every battle a surprise. Modern Ops is a complete miniatures skir- mish game. The Savage Worlds roleplaying game is NOT required.

You’re in real combat now, time to start acting like it! now hit the dirt! 22 Alex Rodriguez slowly edged around the wall he and his men were taking cover behind, his thighs burning with the strain of crouching in place after a long hump. The orange glow from dozens of small fires lit up the marketplace. Stalls filled with rugs, food, and other goods were scattered and tipped over from their proprietors’ hasty retreat when the fighting started. That was hours ago, and the hot African night had long since washed over the squad of mercenaries. He was just getting into view of an apartment building across the market when the wall next to Rodriguez’ head exploded into a cloud of dust, the bullet ricocheting away from him. He fell back behind cover just as the entire apartment building erupted with gunfire, tearing at the wall he was behind. “Jesus that was close Sarge!” cried the SAW gunner, Jones. Rodriguez was beginning to get frustrated with the situation and, after gathering himself up off the ground, replied, “That’s what we get paid the big bucks for, Jones. Now where’s my damn air support? It’s been forever!” By now his men were returning fire, taking quick, well-aimed bursts as they had been taught, unlike the rebels who had them pinned down. Those guys were rockin’ and rollin’ as if they had all the ammo in the world up in that building! Hell, maybe they did. His boys

The benefit of this is that the gunner can increase the Rate of Fire further, at +1 shot for every +1 Range Difficulty level. If the attack misses the intended Range Difficulty but hits the normal Difficulty, then one shot hits and the others miss and are wasted. --Optional: The GM can require a player to call how many shots they wish to fire, with a missed attack losing all intended grenades. Otherwise, only 1 round will be lost. -EMP: If Manual Detonation is used, the Damage inflicted ALSO counts as Ion Weapon Damage. -HEAVY: If used without a mount, the operator's Speed is half (or less); Dodge is -4D, or can immediately drop the weapon to make a full dodge. -MANUAL DETONATION: This weapon has an alternate fire mode to detonate grenades manually, instead of on impact, and can only be used in Semiautomatic Rate of Fire.

  • TL7 Handguns
    Deep Web Secret Deep Web Secret Automatic Pistols These weapons use Guns(Pistol)/TL7 skill. AMT Automag .44 AutoMag (Holdout -2) AMT Original Automag: A large single action semi automatic weapon, this is the original Automag by Harry Sanford. When it was introduced in the seventies this was the first pistol to fire high powered magnum cartridges. Clint Eastwood takes a break from his .44 Magnum to use the .44 Automag in one of his Dirty Harry films. It has been out of production for close to two decades now, but after Harry Sanford died in early 1999 the AMT factory was sold off, and the new owners decided to run a limited series of original Automags in the .44 AMP caliber. These guns will be exact copies of the original guns. This may also mean that they will only function properly with full powered loads, and that some parts (most notably the extractor) will be somewhat fragile. Most likely these guns will seldom be fired anyway, as they are instant collectors items due to their reputation and their flashy, sleek and slightly futuristic looks. Should these guns be used they will look very intimidating and at the same time classy, combined with a lot of recoil... The Automag is a recoil operated pistol, is made entirely of stainless steel, and these new guns are of excellent quality, unlike some of the last pistols made in the seventies. They are very accurate. The magazine holds seven rounds of .44 AMP ammo. AMT Automag III (Holdout -2) A large single action semi automatic weapon, this is the brainchild of Harry Sanford, creator of the original automag.

Most of the design work was done by Germany’s Thyssen-Krupp AG, who had already developed the TAM light tank for Argentina. The idea of an APC based on the TAM chassis was the idea of the Argentine Army, and this was done to decrease the cost of the VCTP as well as the cost of maintenance by producing a vehicle that had a large percentage of parts that were the same as the TAM. It also meant that mechanics trained to work on the TAM could be quickly trained to also work on the VCTP, and a driver who could drive a TAM could drive a VCTP. The Argentine Army originally intended to replace all of their APCs and many of its scout vehicles with the VCTP, for a total of 350 VCTPs and VCPCs; however, only 210 (of all versions) were actually produced, due to budgetary problems.
