I would like to play global thermal nuclear war

Joshua: Would you not rather play a game of chess or checkers

No I would like to play global thermal nuclear war.

Sorry wargames was on the other day!

I think a nuke sim would be kind of cool. I'm sure there has been some in the past but one w/ today's graffics would be cool.

You've obviously never reloaded a muzzle loading gun from the civil war era..

It takes atleast 8 secs..

Ive shot a few muzzle loaders.I'd say 8 seconds is a bit quick.

i think a hide and go seek style game would be pretty cool...with modern graphics engines we could probably get some pretty neato outdoor levels...

oh god...i just said neato...someone smack me

Do it underpressure, on a re-enactment battle, and count 1 one thousand, other wise if you talk 1 2 3 4 it's prolly more like 14

A trained soldier in the American Civil War was expected to be able to fire three aimed shots in one minute. That is using the "load in 9 times" movements. Even by jamming the ramrod into the ground between shots for faster access it still takes far greater than 8 seconds. Now, that is assuming the soldier is equipped with the standard issue rifle using paper cartridges. I'm sure some of the single shot breech-loaders could sustain a much higher rate of fire, but they were more likely found in specialized units (Berdan's Sharpshooters for example) and alot of the Federal Cavalry had breech-loading carbines.

Heck, I've fumbled around trying to get a cap on longer than 8 seconds before.

Regardless..... I'm not waiting that long for my gun to reload. Give me whatever machine or gatling guns they had in the 1860's.
