You know, the interesting thing about the HD SMG is that there IS an AR pattern 9mm SMG, the Colt Model 635, but it has a differently shaped magazine than the 5.56mm version. Just thought you could mention that but I guess model is more important than in game function.

[@Zmeeed01]

It honestly would've made more sense than a full-blown -M4- Colt Model 727 considering Black Mesa is a CQC environment, although it would still be weird to have it hold 50 rounds in a single magazine.

[@leokommadant938]

[@bugjams]

The HD pack really feels like a downgrade in a lot of ways when you compare the two. It just kinda takes away the uh... "unique-ness"(?) of some of the weapons, and makes them look more generic. Especially the nests for the Snarks. I love how the original looks like it could be its own mobile, living creature. Like the nest itself is alive. Perhaps the last stage of a Snark is to turn into a living nest? I wonder if they can reproduce asexually or not. Makes me wish there were just, like, books filled with random lore bits that the Half Life devs thought of during development.

[@nicholaswilson4895]

The Alpha version of the game did show HECU grunts use m4s before they were replaced with the mp5. Still doesn't make sense as to why they would change the model. Also off topic but the double barrel shot for the spas 12 looks more and sounds like a burst shot rather then at once. That's the most logical explanation for that.

I like etymologies and origins, I also like guns, and I like half-life. This content fills all them. Subbed~ . Oh and the reason why the vanilla and OpFor has MP5 model is because the lore (from OpFor) suggests that the HECU grunts were trained specifically for close quarters combat. It also makes sense why the said submachine gun may possibly share the same ammunition with the pistol.

[@laurabranigan7761]

The idea of close combat make sense to me. In fact i think they were planing to use mp5sd because it was a covert operation to kill those scientiest silently

[@expendableround6186]

Really enjoy the added touch of the weapon selection sounds.

[@muxperience]

If you think about it, laser-activated or motion-sensing mines that use light are absolutely NOT the move you want for a mine. In the real world, there are already issues with mines indiscriminately killing the wrong people (including friendly forces who don't know mines are set up somewhere). A Laser tripmine makes that problem even fucking worse because an optical sensor is way more sensitive than a mechanical activation method (like a tripwire or a pressure plate). Mines would be blowing up all the time because of stuff like the wind, or dust, animals, etc. It's an idea that can only be implemented successfully in video games, because the real world is full of stuff that will set them off randomly.

[@dracmeister]

The reason why Snarks explode after awhile is because it's a final defense mechanism. How they're thrown actually is that Gordon(or the user) applies pressure to the Snark causing the Snark to panic thinking it's going to get crushed in someone's grasp, as a result when released they go in a feral frenzy in where they attack any creature they deem a threat and most importantly the one the threatened them. After awhile the creature's blood boils to a point in where the chemicals within erupt in a burst of acid and the Snark dying. It's a evolutionary defense system to dissuade the Snark's prey or would-be abusers.

The MP5 uses the M203 "shorty". The HUD of the MP5 if you noticed, has M16 proportions... as the handguard reaches the full length of the M203. The only weapon that looks like the child of the MP5 and M16 is the Heckler and Koch G41.

HEV suit actually does give additional strength to the owner, basically exo skeleton but much more high tech, this is just common sense since the suit is pretty much a power armor and it can eat bullet like a champ, second the suit must be sufficient enough to carry its own weight.... so why don't go further and beyond the crossbow... is actually not a crossbow at all, its a dart gun uses to tranquilizes target, dual to the balance of the game they have to make it become a sniper "rifle" the closest you can get with the gluon gun and the tau cannon is the plasma welder/cutter

3:50 to simplify, the three main leptons are the electron, muon and tau. The electron is the lightest and most stable of the three, often orbiting atoms. The muon is more massive and less stable, and the tau is the most massive and least stable. The gluon gun is based on the gluon; the boson that hold protons and neutrons together in atoms.

[@Puffie40]

The laser tripmine was used in Duke Nukem 3D. It may have been directly lifted from there.

[@crabohato4954]

From what I understand, the tau cannon shoots tau particles which are similar to an electron, but is heavier than one. The reason why this is special is because due to its greater mass, it doesn't radiate something called Bremsstrahlung radiation, which means it has more penetrating power than electrons. I'm guessing that due to the fact it doesn't lose energy due to this radiation, it has more overall power, thus higher penetration.

[@buggy730]

Space 12? That can explain why it shoots two shells.

[@HQ_Default]

I like to imagine that since the SPAS-12 is capable of automatic fire, the alt-fire is actually just the gun rapidly cycling 2 consecutive shots.

[@unfa00]

I think the sound it makes would support that theory. There's distinct two shots, where with a double barrel shot they're should be just one, only louder.

[@BadBomb555]

There are some things I would like to point out since Whomobile was a bit lazy at doing his research on these weapons. Spas 12 shotgun can be set for semi-auto fire (which might explain the double shot action), even though player is still using the manual pump-action with it. Spas 12 needs enough powerful shells to use it's semi-auto fire otherwise it might jam. The manua pump-action has to be used for weaker shells. Colt 727 (or just AR-15 or M16) should not be able to share it's ammunition with the pistol unlike MP5, but it does anyway.

[@demanischaffer]

I mean, the double shot still doesn't make sense Since to cycle the bolt the first shot is fired, both can't be fired at the same time
