Imagine getting a prestigious job in the industry only to end up making customisable genitals.

If it pays the bills...

And literally any other tech job wouldn't?

Warsaw is expensive, the alternatives they might have had were probably starvation in a cardboard box under one of the bridges or allowing the non-customizable genitalia of strangers inside themselves in exchange for currency.

Ah, yes, just a tech job from the tech job tree. All it takes is a firm handshake.

WTF is the deal with that Arasaka SMG? How do you even hold it? And how is the magazine tilted that way, rather than the other way, is the ammo fatter in the front than the back? IT MAKES NO SENSE

Yes, I'm taking this seriously now.

- Tilted magazine makes no sense whatsoever. It's straight, without a curve, so bolt has to pick rounds from an angled surface? Not gonna work.
- Barrel length is amazing. Some pistols have longer barrels than this. If this huge disk on the non-supressed model is actually a threaded nut which you unscrew with the barrel and screw a suppressor instead, then the suppressed version has no barrel whatsoever! Shooting straight from the chamber.
- I see no place for gas operation, so it's either straight blowback or delayed blowback akin to MP5.
- Bolt handle looks like one from G36, but too far back. This means it has some long ass lever to connect handle and bolt. Unpractical and unnecessary.
- Trigger group should be a compact one, or it will interfere with the recoil spring
- I made an assumption about this thing having recoil buffer, and still, it has too much unused space in the back.
- Buttstock looks atrocious. RIP user shoulder.
- Pistol handle looks awful.

The funniest thing of all is that this SMG is designed as bullpup without being a bullpup! Forgive my mad skillz, but transforming this thing into a bullpup configurations, and it starts to make sense!

Poland is completely disarmed nation with the lowest gun ownership rate in europe.

Good to know.

To my eye your bullpup hackjob even looks cooler. Good job.

That article describes Flathead with info from 2018 which was debunked somewhere in 2019. I don't think those artworks are legit, could be more of unverified info.

As long as I am not shooting some ugly Fallout 4 piperifles I am fairly OK with this.

 

[Ol' Willy]

Call me autist, but...

here's the diagram of my bullpup hackjob to show the differences.

- now it has an actual fucking barrel. Even with the suppressor, so it's possible to shoot farther than 20 meters
- space in the back is properly used
- pistol grip moved forward, so now it's possible to actually shoulder this
- proper foregrip with plenty of space even for the most big-handed dudes
- there's plenty of space above the barrel to have some sort of gas operation if this thing wants to be an assault rifle

Now, this gun is fairly compact with an adequate barrel length, compared to the original with characteristics comparable to something like MAC-10, but way more cumbersome

Just look at all those homeless coders. No demand for their skills outside video games at all.

Out-of-work coders command a huge fee down the docks, when prostituting themselves.

Style over substance is the first of the main tenets of the original pnp, I am sure you are all familiar with that, having read the manual and all. Or perhaps this was all in jest, a joke, if you will?

Also, "a gun triggers me" - what is this, Soviet Russia?

 

[eilef]

I actually understand why some guns look like that. I fully believe that in the future weapon companies will create pink kitty overly feminine weapons just to sell them more. Remember, functionality is nothing for some people, but looks and status are everything. This is just their variant of fancy all pink diamond weapons for "specific" audience.

No idea what the questions are, but the responses are in English.

Sadly, by the end of 2018 it was all over.

 

[Takamori]

I play Monster Hunter so I can't talk much about retarded weapons I'd be a hypocrite doing that, but I understand a gun nut being in despair with the designs.
As for my only true concerns in the game is the dialogues and roleplay, from the trailers the possibility of answers are shallow as a watery tart, but heard that is a non spoilery version? Could be shill talk though.

I don't go full realism-autist when I play something over the top and ridiculous - like Russian Overkill, for example. Yeah, here's your belt-fed auto-shotgun, here's your minigun that shoots little jets, here's your revolver that you can throw and it will scream - it's ridiculous, unrealistic and bonkers, but author doesn't pretend otherwise. CP2077 devs talk about realism and """creating believable world""", so it should be put under the utmost scrutiny.

Cyberpunk as a genre is fairly close to the hard sci-fi end of the scale, rampant AIs and voodoo notwithstanding. Where it breaks the rules, it should do so with intent. In my view guns that can't work mechanically or ergonomically just don't fit. This isn't Star Wars or DOOM or some such.

Spoiler

I'm totally fine with the six-wheeled stupid car, that's just bling, and car culture is guilty of much, much greater offences against What Works than that. Gun culture may have some really dumb-looking guns, but non-working guns really aren't a thing AFAIK.

The Ferrari is fine. I was referring to the stance.

Retarded custom tuning, it seems. If you are a fellow Rus I believe you have seen way worse.
