And, for the Panther Assault Cannon, a Duffel Bag.  More commonly referred to as a "Panther Cozy"  ;D

If you hold one pistol, you can assume that a lot of holster can be customized with options for holding 1 or 2 extra clips.

I kind of like golf club bags, for weapons like machine guns.

"So, how are we going to conceal our main weapon?"  "We put Trogdor in the back of the RV and close the curtain, as always.  Remind him not to open the window."  "TROGDOR!  DON'T OPEN THE WINDOW!"  "Aw, but I like leaning my head out the window!"  "Not when we're on a 'run.  We'll get Ice Cream when we're done!"  "YAY!!!"  "How the hell an idiot of a troll like him is magically able..."  "He's an Adept, not like he has to memorize spells."

I do, for one. Focus Amulet goes around the neck, clothes go on like normal, glasses go on the face. Done. Ah, the joys of being a Mage.

As for my other characters... yeah, I usually do; Mr. Soft, my most heavily geared guy, made great use of special pouches modded into the inner lining of his armored coat. Fortunately, as a troll, that left him quite a bit of real-estate to work with for holding ammo, grenades, etc.

I always do...
For my its is like a "visual aid" to picture my character in my mind.
Somtimes I make drawings of my characters, etc...

I play airsoft games and the gun-fu-cosplay is something I really like ;)
That may be the reason why I don't like the "submachine gun under a long coat style".... efficient from a rules poit of view, but you can try it with fake-guns and it is definitively not efficient when you have to move or to run.

I think Henker was talking about keeping it concealed while running as opposed to having it available, Redwolf.  But it's good to hear from someone who knows that that is how you're supposed to carry an SMG on duty.

There's oversized shoulder holster rigs for SMGs that I've seen, as well, a lot of SMGs have smaller magazines that don't stick out any further than the pistol grip.  Those would be more useful for the "Trenchcoat" thing.  Has a small magazine for the concealability, and the full-sized ones for reloads.  Surprise, and then stamina for the fight.

I tryed that, but FHMO it is not very good.

From my experience it is easy to hide even an SMG under a coat.
If you have a look at P90, MP7 or over compact design it works fine.
Even an MP5 with the clip removed is good under a long coat.
The issue is that when you want to move, or to run without the weapon beeing noticed you have to have the weapons very close to the body (at least 2 attach points or an holster), which is not easy with an SMG.

Again, that is just a perosnnal feeling, after what I tryed to do during some "cosplay RPG".
At the end I was more confortable with a compact handgun, one or two knifes,some good shoes.... prefering to leave the rifles and SMG in cars or bags in case more substantial support may be required.... ;)
notes than in can also help to have a handgrenade in a pocket (smoke or flash is perfect...:) )

I actually used to use a spreadsheet to keep track, but  finally broke down and just used less gear. My newest char is an ork heavy weapons specialist. Commlink on belt, medkit on back under jacket, wrist biomonitor, autopicker in a coat pocket. Typical loadout is a burst-fire modded Ruger inside in a shoulder holster, two spare clips on arm slides, 2 more loaded with Ex rounds strapped to his thighs under his pants, and 4 grenades, usually flash & incendiary, in his inside coat pockets.

For bigger firepower, a smuggling compartment in the back of his Hotspur has an AA16 and an Ares Alpha, more grenades, and a change of clothes to something less civilian and more SWAT. I figure if I need more firepower than the Ruger, I'm probably some place I'm not worried about being inconspicuous and might as well go in looking loaded for bear.
