    Regarding Oppenheimer:  I think many will go see it because of it's director and cast as much or more than because of it's subject.

     

    Regarding OP:  I always thought it was: 

     

    Give you up: Never

    Let you down: Never

    Run around and desert you: Never

    Make you cry: Never

    Say goodbye: :Never

    Tell a lie and hurt you: Never

     

    Now you've been Rikti Rolled: Again!

    I had something like that at first, but it seemed a bit yodaish.

    This reminds me of a "this is sportsceter" or baseball tonight commercial back in the early 00s where there were a bunch of athletes were talking about stats and then the prototypical nerdy guys walk by and call them nerds (or dorks, its been forever since ive seen it).

    Seems just like ego stroking and patting yourself on the back.  If you need that, well, you need that.

     

    I don't like what happens when it is brought into a game,

    It can seem like that to you if that's what you need.

  4. I have always stayed away from defense sets.  It is tough to get them leveled up early on.  Resist sets are more survivable in the early game and regeneration is more fun, at least for me.  It is also easier to chase defense with IOs than resists.  I know there isn't going to be DDR, but even with cascading defense failure, I still have my resists and regeneration.  I do have a lv 50 SR tanker which almost impossible to kill in normal content.  If we're counting invulnerability as a defense set (I'd say hybrid set), I have one of those too.

    Y'all know that frankenslotting and boosting set IOs will get you to almost the same values as most hami-o's, right? There are only a very rare few powers that benefit fully from a hami-o, mostly those that have multiple control effects or both tohit and defense buffs/debuffs.

    This is what I've been doing for most of my characters.  Throw in a crushing impact or mako acc/dmg and you are 78.8% of a nucleus.  Higher percentage if youre running into diminishing returns.

    (And no, you can't single fire an actual machinegun unless you're the Flash or other similar speedster with the reflexes to do so.)

    source?

     

    If the rate of fire was on the low end it is entirely possible.  500 rounds per minute would be 8.3 per second which would mean every 1 shot every .12 seconds.  Most people with some practice could fire off a single shot (depending on trigger pull weight and length).  Get much more than that, I would agree that it is not possible without super reflexes, but saying can't for any machine gun would be wrong.

  7. Machine gun is a loosely defined term, just like assault rifle.  Machine gun, as it is being referred too here in the suggestion by the OP seems to refer to a fully automatic carbine or rifle, not a firearm that is on a mount.  That being said, a fully automatic firearm will fire until the trigger is released.  So if you release it before the 2nd round is fired (which may or may not be humanly possible), you would fire only one shot.

  8. If its just the last bullet, it shouldn't have any special damage because its the last one.  If you take aim and put in a vital area, that makes sense, but that can be done with any bullet.   If it were a special bullet, It would very odd in a gunfight to have your best option/special bullet as the last option.  Why wouldn't you use it first, and why does it recharge if you only have 1?  I guess the only way I would be onboard with one special bullet is if it was called the "Fife Bullet."  The animation would consist of your character franticly trying to fish the bullet out of a front pocket, then fumble around loading it.  Total animation time 8.2 seconds.

  9. I would love a side arm set but I have a couple issues with proposed set:

     

    Why would the final bullet do more damage than any of the others in the magazine/cylinder? 

     

    I think a cone animation, especially on a single pistol would look clunky and unrealistic (I know, were in a superhero game where we fly, stand in lava, call meteorites, etc.)

     

    I also had a proposed set (Munitions) a while back that was similar and will share (what I remember of) it.

    Pistol - light lethal dmg (combat TP/burst of speed mechanic with 6 "charges" before long reload, -acc penalty for .5 sec)

    combat knife - moderate lethal melee dmg

    Rifle - moderate lethal dmg, KD, (combat TP/burst of speed mechanic with 10 "charges" before long reload, -acc penalty for 1 sec)

    body armor - s/l dmg resist

    I don't remember what 5th was, but I'm sure there's something there.  Could put in the Fire-Combat Training and it would be a nice set.
