Should this gun be added into the database? It was not a very good gun by any standard. However, 60 were built which is not a insignificant number.

Thoughts?

You also forgot the Mark I rock.

History: produced in mass quantities....often used during times of extreme stress, such as when P-47's chase volkswagons for lack of anything better to do. Marginally effective but known to make frustrated ground pounders feel better. Decreases Terror points by a factor of .72 on cloudy days.

Pen -0.1
effect - priceless
size .5
range - steroid enhanced - 1
normal human - .2

no game about the air war can be considered truely historical without including the Mark I rock!

does no damage, but makes you feel so much better, unless the guy with all them MGs seen you use it, then your in trouble

Mark I rocks were far more effective against radial engined fighter planes on ground attack missions vs liquid cooled fighters. Big entry point for the rock to get at that engine.

.50cal bullets often proved ineffective against the sloped armor of the volkswagons.

well, when ever they decide to put that Sloped Armor on a VW, maybe we will find out how well it stops them 50 Cals

I don't think the Mk 1 rock would make it past the prop to do any damage, the Mk VII would be a much better rock to try if that was going to be your aiming point

its only a working theory at present, since according to the GF mark I....I throw like a girl and can only hit the target when i'm aiming somewhere else. [:)]
