True...
Me, on the other hand. I know a lot about guns. Those two things don't work in unison in today's world. They have to go in the same slot on the gun, and cannot be 'stacked'.
Being a gun enthusist and user myself I can confirm your statement. Another thing is that Silencers (or Suppressors since you cant really silence any gun completely) dont really work on high powered rifles (i.e. most long range sniper rifles) because the bullets are usually supersonic in speed and therefore make their own little sonic boom when they travel. Hence in most accurate movies (very few of those) you usually hear the shot. Besides if you are firing from a 1000m away you dont usually have to worry about the noise since your target will be dead before the sound gets there.

Consider it a CyberPunk Special Edition...
Those were the stats on the rifle in the Chromebook, so consider it a special CyberPunk advancement in technology.
Tann:
Q: Ok some RV's here in Texas have both a side door and a smaller rear one does this RV have such. Also I have to ask how deep is this decline in front of the side door.??
A: I wasn't envisioning a "back door", so no. There's the driver's door, the passenger's, and the cabin's. The hill begins about two to three feet from the driver's side door. The passenger's and cabin's open up onto the road since Bull's Eye was heading down the road and would have been driving on the right and the hill is on the left. The terrain across the road is light with foliage and almost immediately starts to go uphill at a fifteen percent grade. The downhill slope starts at a five percent grade and after about fifteen feet goes into a twenty percent grade. There's scrub brush, tumbleweeds, and dry grasses for cover until you're about ten feet down the hill, then there's the occasional pine, or spruce.
"OK as to my actions seeing as I am the only player with Bulls Eye/Firewind I figured I'd put them in summery here.
...If there is a back door we head out that if not we go out the RV's window that faces away from the approaching car/truck..." this window does lead out downhill, but to get out it, you'll likely have to break it.
OK, so I've responded to Sui's questions through PM. I'm waiting on a post from Sui and Raven before moving forward with this. Tann, you can post again as well, if this new information changes anything.

No time to post tonight
But what I said in Q/A stands we will head out the large window and the Driver/Passenger door opposite of the oncoming vehicle. Then spread out and go to ground with hopefully good fields of fire if it turns its a sec patrol.
Other then that I will play it by ear if we are still alive after your post.

Guardian and DS
The furniture store... Is it a single building or part of a row of buildings? How many floors? There any apparent access from the shop to the roof?
Damned, dude, you're not putting me in an easy spot are you?

It is my goal to never put people in an easy spot. ;)
The furniture store is a two level shop with an apartment structure above it that makes it a total of four stories in height. It is tucked into the midst of a series of buildings which means (without Guardian having actually seen the back of the building) there will likely be a service alley in the rear. Most buildings have roof access of some kind, but you'd likely have to head up through someone's residence (most likely the shop keeper's, or some beavers who want to be close to work) to access it. Guardian didn't get a good look at the buildings to the left and right of the furniture shop, but his training kicked in and he registered what they were: shops on either side. One is an electronics store (think Radio Shack if or something of the sort), main floor as the shop, next floor most likely store offices, and then apartments for the next four floors (six story building), and the other is a sewing supply shop with a bout three stories above it, most likely offices, or apartments.
For the sake of your post: It wouldn't be hard for Guardian to get out the back way, and he'll find that service alley which is--for the moment--void of any threats. The alley will run the length of the block either way (it is a one way street just large enough for one garbage truck, or delivery truck to make it through), has three dumpsters tucked into alcoves down the length of it, wiring draped overhead between the buildings, a couple dangling a single bulb to light the alley in the night, some moldy, wet, cardboard boxes, and the shattered bits of wood amongst other garbage plastered to the drenched street. There's no indication as to what the other buildings contain across the way, but it is a good bet they are locked from the inside since that's the way he'll find the door from the furniture store. All in all you're looking at about fifty meters to the right before encountering another two lane street, and about seventy meters to the left. With traffic backed up and trying to get the hell outta the firefight, you have a few seconds...but not too long. Oh, and there are fire escapes leading to the top floors of the buildings, but none of them are down where you can readily grab the bottom rung. You're looking at about a twelve foot reach to the lowest.

This as weekend
didn't work out for me as far as posting is concerned. I ended up helping prepare my chilluns for back-to-school which left me lacking in time. I hope to make up for it the first part of this week. Thursday at the latest because I'm leaving for Lake Powell Friday to do some boating, camping, and relaxin'.

Yay
Sounds good to me, Lance. Wouldn't mind going out on a lake myself. Nothing beats some good time away from computers and city hustle like a few nights in the woods be it in a cabin or tent. Enjoy your trip, old friend!

Situation Critical for some...
OK, heads up:
Raven - you have two of those corporate assassins about thirty meters ahead just rounding the corner to the first street you'd encountered them on. You're about ten meters from the city car which puts you about that same distance from the corporate beaver who looks like he's trying to put a cap in your butt. DigitalScribe is about two meters behind you and to the right a bit, but you have no idea if he's seen the corporate assassins, or the beaver's threat.
YeOlde - MDK needs to make the decision which side of the facility they are going to come in on. There will be a twelve foot electrified chainlink fence about the facility pretty much the same distance (in contour with the terrain) away from the facility as the two buildings that the road passes between. The top of this fence will be decorated with spiral razorwire, and every hundred feet or so there are security cameras. Anyway you approach it, the two of you are about fifteen minutes from the fenceline, and if you wait long enough in one position along the fence you'll see a patrol of two guards walk about the parameter (about ten meters from the fence) with a dog that has obviously been cyber-enhanced) checking for abnormalities.
Tann - Bad luck man! Hard to stand up against a minigun, but I'd say you did fairly well all things considered. When Croaker awakes he'll be in a triage center stripped of everything (a medical gown on), strapped to a bed. The room he'll be in will have two other beds in it with two other patients. One will be a young man in his twenties while the other is a woman in her twenties. Both have their heads shaved and are hooked up to monitoring equipment that has diodes placed all over their heads, and down under their gowns. They aren't strapped in like you are. You'll have pain from your wounds, and perhaps feel a little weird due to the Speedheal, but you're alive. A nurse will come check on the instrument's readings every hour. She'll be an average-looking, middle-aged Hispanic woman, and she won't acknowledge Croaker no matter what he does.
Freeway - Welcome to active play.
Sui - You're so far ahead of everyone I'm killing time with conversation. It could lead to something...could be good, could be bad.
I'll be away at Lake Powell from tomorrow until Sunday late, so have fun posting.

Anyone else?
