Re: Weapon Res File For Igi 2 Covert 59
Cherly Fleitas
Given how many different skins the game has, it's a shame that these weapons don't have even a single covert skin: G3SG1, SCAR-20, SG 553, MAG-7, XM1014, Nova, MP5-SD, UMP-45, TEC-9, NEGEV and M249. And on top of that, many weapons that have covert skins have only one.
With the recent Lobi sale, I ended up picking up a Tzenkethi Retrofit Assault Cannon and the Portable Phaser Cannon on a whim, and it set me on a path to seek answers to a question I suspect very few will care about: Which weapon works best with the Covert Assault Drone kit module?
Does not cover non-rapid fire weapons like single pistols, sniper rifles, split/wide beam rifles, pulsewave, blast assault, etc. Probably safe to assume that these won't work so great with the Covert Drone.
The chosen test scenario features waves upon waves of mooks, so it heavily favours weapons with greater AoE potential. If anyone knows of an easy-to-access scenario where I can shoot at a single juicy boss target, I'm all ears.
Free invis can't hurt between casts if you can let go of some of the damage multipliers of the weapons with the highest finisher damage numbers, besides using it as an all around nice weapon i use it with Ash, Banshee, Umbra, Ivara and Equinox for the finishers.
So, in my tests of Karyst Prime versus Destreza Prime front finishers, Covert Lethality still leaves daggers behind rapiers. Karyst Prime build was PPP, CL, Primed Fury, PFS, 90% electric, Sac Steel, Organ Shatter. Last slot I tried both Finishing Touch or a bane mod--both worked out the same as far as max level Nox kills. (I didn't record, and the exact damage numbers are too hard for me to catch at finisher distance.) Destreza Prime was the same, but with a bane mod in place of CL. I used Noxes because the max level Corrupted Heavy Gunners I can spawn (170) die every time to either weapon. I didn't use Fatal Teleport or any finisher damage ability, so obviously the numbers can go way, way up.

There are many details of the system which remain unanswered, and the rationale behind the weapon can be debated ad-infinitum. But is it a real project? Yes it is. These submarines are real and they are far too expensive to play such a ruse.
Trail of radioactive contamination
It is not feasible that the structure of the torpedo contains shielding for the reactor so the device must leave a trail of radioactive contamination behind it as it runs. This is true even in test runs.
The lack of shielding also means that the reactors cannot be test-run while inside the launch tube. Maintenance is thus much harder than on the ICBMs carried in other strategic submarines, and the weapons are essentially sealed containers.
Okay, so this is really going to be an incredibly simple build. I was just bored, enjoyed making my last instructable, and decided to see if I could throw something together with (guess what?) an Altoids tin and a Bic Pen. Naturally, my mind went to fire, but I didn't want to start a theme, and I couldn't see the Bic Pen being good for multiple flame related uses. So the next best thing, 'Wonder what I could make that you could put your eye out with?"
And thus, the birth of the Altoids Dart Gun.
Ever have a problem with that annoying neighbor that always borrows your stuff and doesn't return it? Perhaps the office mate that always seems to get the promotions that you deserve when they spend 80% of their day playing solitaire and the other 20% at the water cooler talking about the boat they're going to buy with their new raise?!?! But I digress...
Now, with the use of this new weapon, and some curare (this you'll have to find a recipe for on your own... If found, please notify me) you can take care of these pesky individuals. Or at least put your eye out for spite.
Don't let the simplicity of the build fool ya. This thing has some range.
Section 131N. No person shall sell, offer for sale, transfer or possess any weapon, capable of discharging a bullet or shot, that is: (i) constructed in a shape that does not resemble a handgun, short-barreled rifle or short-barreled shotgun including, but not limited to, covert weapons that resemble key-chains, pens, cigarette-lighters or cigarette-packages; or (ii) not detectable as a weapon or potential weapon by x-ray machines commonly used at airports or walk-through metal detectors. Whoever violates the provisions of this section shall be punished, for a first offense, by a fine of not less than $1,000 nor more than $10,000 or by imprisonment for not less than one year nor more than ten years, or by both such fine and imprisonment, and for a second offense, by a fine of not less than $5,000 nor more than $15,000 or by imprisonment for not less than five years nor more than 15 years, or by both such fine and imprisonment.
The officer purchased the Aero Precision pistol. Agents then determined that the weapon contained a "drop-in auto-sear switch" inside that allows it to fire automatically. This switch is federally prohibited under the National Firearms Act and allows the pistol to be classified as a machine gun.
On March 10, officials observed Tondre exit his residence and place an AR-style weapon into a black Mercedes SUV. When the detective met Ellard later that day, they said he took them to the Mercedes, stated that it was his boss's vehicle, and sold him the weapon. The rifle was identified as a Spikes Tactical rifle.
Another controlled purchase was arranged on March 31 at Tondre's residence. Officials said Ellard opened a safe in the garage, where the detective observed about 10 firearms, including barreled firearms, rifles, shotguns and a revolver. After negotiations, he agreed to purchase two AR-style rifle/pistols for $3,100. These weapons were identified as Palmetto State armories, model PA 15.
Most of the conversations revolved around their hopes of not being assigned to the Fourth Infantry Division or 173rd Airborne Brigade, both of which had just fought a terrible battle at Dak To in II Corps, the second most northerly of the four tactical zones that made up South Vietnam. My military occupational specialty had been heavy-weapons infantry (airborne) until I transferred to the Quartermaster Corps and became a parachute rigger.
Twelve days later, during the early morning hours of Wednesday, January 31, the largest battle of the Vietnam War, the Tet Offensive, was launched all across South Vietnam by 84,000 enemy soldiers. In our area, five enemy battalions and a platoon of sappers attacked Quang Tri City and our LZ. To stop allied troops from intervening, three other enemy infantry battalions deployed as blocking forces, supported by a 122mm-rocket battalion and two heavy-weapons companies armed with 82mm mortars and 75mm recoilless rifles.
On the brighter side, my division had captured a large number of small arms during Tet, and some of these went on display above the two doors at brigade headquarters, where Colonel Rattan slept. Since enemy weapons were hard to come by in the field, I found them enticing, especially since they were just hung there loosely by wire loops. But with officers strolling in and out of there during the day, my only chance to get at them would be at night, when no one was around except for one lone guard armed with an M16.
I completed the Fifth Special Forces Recondo School in May, and in June I became a 19-year-old team leader. I completed twenty-two patrols and continued stealing weapons from brigade headquarters until I shipped home in October.
In each of these cases, U.S. officials were aware of the state's desire for nuclear weapons and its potential capability to build them. That awareness was not accompanied by an understanding of the state's motivations for pursuing nuclear weapons, its intentions for their use, or the success the state was having in research and development (R&D). A lack of complete knowledge is understandable due to the extreme secrecy that surrounds such efforts. But each of these programs was protected by more than secrecy. Each involved a coordinated deception effort that spanned years, involved thousands of individuals, and confused the efforts of U.S. analysts to present policymakers with timely and accurate information.
Intelligence analysts, military planners, and scholars often define deception in strategic, operational, or tactical terms. This dissertation proposes that the long-term deception surrounding these R&D efforts is distinctive in its characteristics and calls for new methods mitigate its effects. A framework will be presented that allows an analyst to categorize observable signatures, formulate a judgement on whether long-term deception is taking place, and propose additional areas of collection that may yield evidence of R&D. Historical cases of non-nuclear and nuclear weapons R&D programs will be used to develop and test hypotheses related to the characteristics of long-term deception.
Though focused in this dissertation on nuclear weapons R&D, the analytical approach taken and the hypotheses identified are applicable to other forms of long-term deception as well. The goal of this study is to give analysts in any discipline an additional tool to categorize information and spot common themes that indicate deception. An understanding of common uses of deception, its coordination, and the observables that may reveal such deception will assist intelligence collection and analysis that seeks to identify covert nuclear weapons programs, and officials who require accurate and reliable information on such programs to develop sound policy.
