Selling (Somewhat) Magic Goods in Arknights

[veekie]

...Gudako realizes that she has competition. This... can only end hilariously.

Gudako is probably not a good romance target for a while yet.

Needs more therapy

I imagine that they're still similar to ours and should be fully compatible, much like Jessica and Liskarm's firearms not needing Arts to function because of Blacksteel R&D.

I see. Similar enough is similar enough then.

Also, making these bullets was a special exception that the Cart allowed after hearing Arno explain himself, so it gave him the extra gunpowder and casings (the tips were what he went around asking help for) that didn't fit his gun. Asking for another weapon at this time would be too much.

I actually thought Arno personally made the cartridges entirely by himself as a one-time gift, both the explosive propellant and the casing, so I had not realized that he obtained most of the components already pre-made from the Cart itself. It was why I thought he could also make a gun.

Oh well, at least that's one more useful product that the Cart is willing to sell. Still interesting to see the potential future consequences of them being used in Terra later.

He combined the parts to make the cartridges as a whole. He has neither the knowhow or the machinery to make the casings, and asking others would have people piece together exactly what he was making.

With his gun, he received his own handy bullet press, together with a stash of gunpowder, primers, and casings. He just commissioned from other Operators (like the aforementioned Eunectes and Viulcan) for things like the tips under the guise of needing "sensitive machine components". And now that contracts have been made, the Cart now supplies them full time without Arno having to make them.

Also on that last part, I can already see Laterano trying and failing to have Rhodes covert into a munitions company once it comes out that they have special bullets.

 

[Paracsus]

Don't mind me, by the way. I'm just trying to make the R6 operators actually worth bringing in average gameplay as opposed to only for niche reasons like Blitz's or Ash's Stun.

Lemuen "what reduction in range?" With armor piercing rounds may result in game breaking and or a new secret love interest for Arno

Lemuen approached first. Her steps were steady, rifle still held loosely at her side. She looked at the two casters who had collapsed under the melting slag, then at her sister.

Ammo so glorious she had to get out of her wheelchair.

What? That isn't correct, only the Rainbows have access to gunpowder firearms and that fact is kept top secret in lore.

The BlackSteel guns are literally the same as the Laterano guns, and the reason why that's allowed without getting smote by the church is because the founder Cliff is a Santka native.

Honesty following the canon, Executor would have a shotgun to Arno's forehead the moment he saw those bullets, unless this is after Hortus de Escapismo, and even then it's iffy.

Exusai would be cool with it though, cause she's not snitch.

I thought Team Rainbow now ran on alternatives since their firearms worked differently? And I always thought the reason why Jessica's firearms are particularly expensive was to account for how limited her Arts was. Woops.

About Federico, it's exactly why I used Lemuen and Exia as proxies. He, Insider, and other Laterano ops don't know where the bulets are from. It's because they WILL be problematic.

Yeah, they made Originum bullets for Rainbow, but they couldn't figure out the reverse. Also the Originum bullets kinda suck, dropping Tachanka's effective range from 700m to 200m which is why he is a guard instead of a god.

Except that is contradicted by the goddamn Limbus Company crossover where Irene's (Originum based) pistol blasts through several buildings. But those pistols dont even fire bullets, so Im not sure they count as firearms.

So Arknights guns are all Originum based, but are both weaker and stronger than modern guns, and sometimes skip bullets entirely.

Terra technology is completely wack. Goofy animals dont even know what Nitric Acid is.
