Post subject:  RS Trivia; Ballistic Weapons
Greetings mortals, I've decided to regularly ask some trivia questions, here's how it works..

(1): I ask a series of obscure questions relating to the above topic...

(2): I give you guys a chance to come up with the answers..

(3): I reveal the answers and all those who get it right get a rewarding clap on the back, well done!.. :clap:

(4): I ask the next series of questions and repeat until we're all as bored as boards... :D

In between times you can post some Trivia if you see fit.. ;)

Also you can repeat the answers that others give if you think they are right, they might be wrong and you don't know it.. ;)

Ok first three questions:

1: Who were the manufacturers of the MRT-6?..

2: What is the name of the only weapon that has a Night Vision scope?..

3: Who were the manufacturers of the Fifty-9 sub machine gun?...

Have fun.. ;)

Too easy! Give us some hard ones!

Post subject:  Re: RS Trivia; Ballistic Weapons
Ok, three more, a little more difficult this time:

1: What texture is underneath the A73-Skrith Rifle's shifting blue center structure?..

2: What was the BORT-85 Pistol's original Acronym?, which described it's functionality..

3: Drake & Co Firearms made what weapons?..

Lets see who has the answers.. ;)

Oh yes, and a :clap: for SX, all answers were correct!.. ;)

1. Circuit board of some sort, I would guess maybe a motherboard?

2. BOGL (Break Open Grenade Launcher) or perhaps BOFG, as a flare gun.

3.Drake and Co.? Without looking I wanna say the 10 Gauge shotgun, the MRS138 Combat Shotgun. But I thought there was more than one gun made by Drake and Co., like the RS08.

Also making the GRS9 and the XRs-10 Machine Pistol.

Post subject:  Re: RS Trivia; Ballistic Weapons
BOGP since that's the first one before correction :p

Break Open Grenade Pistol
Author:  Black Eagle [ Sat Apr 14, 2012 3:04 am ]
Post subject:  Re: RS Trivia; Ballistic Weapons
The answers are:

1: It was indeed some kind of circuit board, most likely a mother board...

2: The BORT-85 was originally named the BOGP(Break Open Grenade Pistol), as see in the code. However the BOGL is a close and valid second..

3: Drake & Co Firearms made several weapons(I initially left the s out of Weapons, sorry Xav): RS08-Pistol, XRS-10 Machine Pistol, MRS138 Combat Shotgun, and the GRS9 Pistol..

A few claps all round, some to Xav for the circuit board and likely knowing the answers for 3, if I hadn't made an error, and a close second on the BOGL.. :clap:

Some for SX, for filling in the blanks, also I'm sure you knew more than you let on... :think:

And of course some for Blade Sword for the most correct answer on the BOGP... :clap:

In future you can all write down what you think are the answers, it doesn't matter if someone else has already stated them... ;)

Ok next three, this time I'll give it lots more time for everyone to fill in their answers:

1: What one weapon has the ability to both Slash, and Fire Bullets?..

2: What weapon's Suicide Message featured these words?: "bit him in half".

3: What weapon's Kill Message featured these words?: "was sent screaming and scampering".

Post subject:  Re: RS Trivia; Ballistic Weapons
Sounds about right to me, except I thought number three was a shotgun? Or maybe I am thinking "scampering away in fear" or similar.

Also, why does the BORT grenade not have a trail? Makes it hard to track its path from the shooter's perspective.

Post subject:  Re: RS Trivia; Ballistic Weapons
The BORT grenade does have a trail, just not a very good one... :oops:

Not sure, I think that's what it is.

My favorite one is the M763's "Killed headbutter killer in the shotgun." :)
Author:  Black Eagle [ Sun Apr 15, 2012 2:51 am ]
Post subject:  Re: RS Trivia; Ballistic Weapons
Ok the answers are:

1: The Fifty-9, the only official weapon with a blade and Bullets, not plasma...

2: The Viper "bites people in half" if you shoot a surface you're too close to..

3: The correct answer is the BORT-85, it occurs when you die of immolation from the flare..

So 2 for SX :clap: :clap: , and no one got the BORT, oh fi... :(

Ok, next three:

1: What weapon did Nexron Defence manufacture?.

2: What weapon was initially named the USSR?.

3: What two weapons use the same 5.56 clips?.

Author:  Black Eagle [ Wed Apr 18, 2012 3:09 am ]
Post subject:  Re: RS Trivia; Ballistic Weapons
Ok, a rather poor fact checking that time, there are actually several collectors items, and there are also several weapons used by commandos, however there is only one designed specifically for commandos(I think)... :D

Answers:

1: EKS43 Katana and the Wilson 41DB Revolver..

2: MD24 Pistol...

Next two:

1: What one characteristic makes the scope of the M46 "Jackal" unique among all other original BW sniper scopes?...

2: What are the 4 Fire modes of the XMV-850 Minigun?...

It's also yellow, non-glossy, and of a low magnification. It also shoots bullets that go bang bang.
