I agree, it is perfect for the Barrens and the NAN. Although, when you say hunting vehicle I imagine some English dudes sitting on it with elephant guns getting mocked by gangers before being taken apart.

Hmm... riding an elephant though the Barrens.

One of the characters in my fan fiction intimidates the protagonist with a 165-year old Elephant Rifle...

Accel is 30/150 on the drone, speed is 300. I'm not sure if the mods you put on it reduce either of those I haven't read the mod rules in quite some time and even then it was really only skimming.

Wow, I was really close.

Final acceleration and speed after the -20% from over-armor should put it at 24/120 and 240.

I really do like that character.

I think the MPUV is going to be the vehicle I use when I don't want to chance my Rover '68 getting messed up or dirty.

I do think military vehicles should have more slots like the Contrail or the Shin-Hyung to help simulate all the different configurations you can do with them.

Btw, I'd recommend This Old Drone and Milspec Tech to those who haven't gotten them yet. TOD brings a lot of old drones into SR4 and MT adds interesting vehicles and other things.

I'm wondering just how much cargo the Liebre and Air Supply drones could be made to carry. Damn 4th edition and it's lack of cargo capacity rules!

If you could slide a partly disassembled Harley motorcycle into one, it'd be PERFECT for my Missions rigger.

Maybe a Dodge Scoot, or even a Rice Rocket, but a Harley Chopper would be pushing it, perhaps.

And, yes, I agree...  I want cargo and passenger rules!  And not just the "Suggested Serving Sizes" sidebar in SR4A.

I think I want a shotgun/axe that breaks down into a cane.  Let's say it's a:

Remington 990
-Easy Breakdown (Manual)
-Bayonet Mount
-Melee Hardening
-Custom Look (2)
-Personalized Grip
-Smartgun (Internal)

Start with a SPAS-22, and you already got the Smartgun Link, and a much cooler looking shotgun.

Might be a TAD difficult condensing a Spas-22 into a walking stick...

And a Pump-Action Remington Shotgun is easier?

Definitely. The mechanical difference between a SS/SA weapon and a BF/FA capable weapon is normally a very bulky requirement.

Shotguns are essentially a tube plus magazine (cylinder I'm guessing for this case) with the simple pump-action feeding between the two.
Spas-22 with the BF/FA capacity adds a lot more mechanical requirements, which would be incredibly difficult to translate into a streamlined cane design, don't you think?

Doesn't look that much bigger to me.  It's gas-operated, which increases complexity, sure, but not by a great deal.  And a Semi-Auto Shotgun is about the same size as a Pump-Action.  And the SPAS-12, which the -22 is based on, can work as both with no tools.

I though of going the SPAS-22 route, but I felt it wasn't simple enough. The next choice came between the Defiance T-250 (as far as I could tell it is a pump) and the Remington.  Remington won out because their auto shotguns follow a different moniker than the pump and the 990 follows the trend of their pump action shotguns.

Pump action shotguns are considerably more reliable, and simple than auto shotguns. I can field strip my Remington 870 quicker than a M-4/M-16 and I don't need equipment to fix it like I do with a Benelli or Saiga (though Benelli does make a modular system that would fit better with my idea)...

I'm not sure a GM would let it fly, but it has coolness appeal... Like a skateboarder with a chem-loaded super squirt and a monofilament whip

In the middle of my crazy work day, I followed the Benelli link, and had to stop dead for a quiet moment of droolage....

That is a sexy, sexy gun!
