A Tavor and a Desert Eagle

>>what loadout would a pmc use?

ARs in 5.56 and Glock G19s. They aren't going to get too creative or obscure and they'll want common weapons that the people they hire are already familiar with.

>>29565286
Just go to your nearest nugget fest and offer blow jobs for /k/ommandos to act in your movie
>>
>>29565322
Fuck those games, i based it on other things...
>>
>>29565332
or a bunch of 22lr.
I'd act if you gave me like 500 rounds of 22lr.
>>
>>29565320
seems good, thanks

>>29565084
Throwing lead out a steel pipe hasn't changed much in the last few centuries despite everything else that has advanced. Case in point: there are rebels in shitty African or southeast Asian countries that are still using guns made in the late 1800's right now in 2016. In 2025, chances are, nothing much has changed from a small arms perspective, except guns made mostly from extruded plastic will be the norm (think SCAR-H).

Big differences? More and smaller drones, even crazier electronic surveillance/counter-surveillance, far more sophisticated IEDs, new biological or chemical threats.
>>
>>29565355
so more cool gadgets and normal guns?
>>
have any ideas/ easter eggs that you think shoul be in the movie?
>>
>>29565384
That seems to be the case with all the new gear the army is testing and issuing. Weight is becoming an issue so I expect a strong push to miniaturize and consolidate gadgets into one modular formfactor. Fucked if I know what that will look like though.

I meant you should just use some of the guns they used, famalam. Some are bullshit made up guns, but the Tavor and the newer Beretta 92 variants seem to be good starting points.

Maybe have one of the mercs have a /k/ patch. Google them, /k/ has made a bunch and they're clearly found online.


Just check in with us before, incase you find the wrong one / find a shitty one.
>>
>>29565084
The rhino is a futuristic looking hand gun. The hammerli sp20 is another. Maybe a racegun...

The hk416 or the scar, kriss vector would be a good carbine.

The ksg or uts-15 for shotguns

All of these are in the price range for the common man

>>29565084
>Low to mid AK variants, low to mid tier AR-15's, VZ-58's, ext...
>Higher tier AR/AK's, G36C's, Sig 550's, basically anything in current military service

Mercs and PMC's equipment will wholely depend on the contract.

For example, mercs running crowd control during the early days of libya were running around with pepper ball and bean bag guns while others covered them with 7.62 long guns. These mercs were mostly from other parts of Africa.

Higher tier mercs in advisor positions were issued weapons from the Libyan republican guard (F200s, well maintained Krinkovs/aks). These mercs were mainly slavs.

Now if you go to Bagram and climb up a guard tower you'll most likely find a PMC with a shitty M9 and XM177E2 with about 50,000 rounds through both with no optic.

Avenues for equipment are as follows.

1. Locally sourced weaponry through white/grey/black markets.

2. Issued by the client.

3. In rare cases weapons are imported by the PMC or smuggled by mercs into the area of operation.


FWIW, It's actually illegal for H&K to have their weapons be used by PMCs. The prolific use of H&K weaponry during the 2005ish era of PMC activity in Iraq and Afghanistan was primarily done through third parties (Grey market). This is still illegal for H&K and from what I understand has been curtailed heavily.

PMC's should have a bunch of bullpup meme guns or spacey SMGs, like Tavors, Aug A3s, F2000s, P90s, Scorpions, etc. Mercs should have AKs and ARs, I think the AK74 would fit well there.

>>29565084
>i need kind of futuristic weapons but nothing sci-fi
Is it even a question?
>>
>>29565084
It doesn't matter, a gun is a.gun. The first war on Mars will have muskets and machine guns.

Your characters should have whatever they can get. Avoid wheelguns unless your setting involves a ban on semiautos. Today, that's a Glock, or a polymer Sig.

Actually, fuck that. Give them an FN fiveseven, but (sub)compact and striker fired. That would be 10/10 only handgun ever needed.

You can make 5.7 suppressors much lighter and smaller, too.
>>
>>29570526

What am I looking at ?
>>
>>29570656
Seriously?
>>
>>29570644
Muskets don't work on space dum dum. Also Five Sevens would never be used by anybody in 2025.
