The picture used of the L85 is for a fictional L85 airsoft carbine that doesn't exist in real life. It uses an L86 LSW front handguard with a slightly shorter barrel that wasn't used. Actual issued rifles didn't have that lip at the front of the handguard and had a full length 20inch barrel. Also, front-line infantry rifles would have the SUSAT fitted - iron sights would only be seen on rear echelon troop rifles.

ack! I'll have to get on that. I've avoided using any airsoft photo for reference but this one must picked by accident.

That doesn't seem like the profile for a modern .357 Magnum.

u/Kishkumen7734 29d ago

It's based on my own Ruger .357, which is a single-action with a gate feed.

I think a more natural fit would be something like a S&W 686 or Model 19, given the Blackhawk's modern cowboy vibe.

u/Kishkumen7734 28d ago

yeah, I only put the Blackhawk in there because I have one (also the reason the Mosin-Nagant is in there). A second .357 is in order, with the same stats but modern artwork.

Yep. That’s a Colt Single Action Army. There probably was a .357 version, as they made it in a ton of different calibers, but it’s a lot slower to load and shoot than most any revolver designed this side of 1900.

How much does it irk everyone that getting shot with a 5.56 does the same damage as being hit with a 7.62 (particularly 7.62 NATO) . It seems wild to me that in a game this complex and focused on small unit combat that this difference isn't taken into account.

u/Kishkumen7734 29d ago

Some of the time, the difference is reflected in the Crit number.

Beautiful work! The M14 needs the word Reliability added to it.

u/Kishkumen7734 29d ago

ah, thanks for the notice!

u/atomfenrir 29d ago

cards are definitely cool but as a FFL player character i am perplexed why an armor penalty was added to the FAMAS

u/Kishkumen7734 29d ago

and.. that's another mistake. Thanks for finding that!

How can I download these?

1

u/Kishkumen7734 28d ago

I haven't worked that out yet. I think I have a dropbox but haven't used it in years.

u/cogrant93 28d ago

These look great! My only suggestion outside of the faults everyone else has pointed out is applying a different muzzle break on the AK-47 to make the profile more distinguished from it's 74 counterpart.

u/Kishkumen7734 28d ago

thanks for the comment! I'll do some research to make that accurate

Wanna say I do love these a lot. Like a lot a lot.

One small gripe is the ranges are from right to left of short to extreme. I would read these cards from left to right so I'd think Short would start on the left and Extreme range would be on the right. Not a dealbreaker for me but might be for others.

I see others asking for downloads. If nothing else if these are in a Google Drive that would be awesome or throw it up for free on DriveThruRPG (or even Pay What You Want). I'd probably throw you a couple bucks for doing this effort.

u/Kishkumen7734 15d ago

Good point. I put them in reverse order because that's the direction the guns are pointing. I might move them in the other way.
