Easter Egg

Anyone else catch the NOA (stand-in for NASA) Admin Building easter egg?

Interesting that a government space organization is so interesting in silencing a flat earther...

Mystery frankengun auto turret

So one of the factions (I think it was the true sons, but honestly the factions aren’t as easily distinguishable as they were in the first game) has a unit that deploys big sentry guns. The rear of the gun might be a PKM (oddly bronze colored, and with clearly oversized cartridges on its belt), and I have know idea what the barrel and shroud are supposed to be from. Can anyone help identify this? I’ll try to get some better reference pics later, but it’s a bit challenging for obvious reasons.

Looks like you're right about the PKM bit, and as for the front, if I had to hazard a guess, I'd say it was just a stretched-out AR-15 barrel/gas tube/handguard group. Pyr0m4n14c (talk) 09:38, 23 March 2019 (EDT)

Here is another I found when one of those Black Tusk Boston Dynamics type things glitched out in the beta. It kinda looks like an M107 barrel with a GM6 Lynx-ish forend.

Mk 46 or Mk 48?

So the "Mk 46" in game has the buttstock of a Mk48. But the stampings on the gun say "5.56". So should I enter this in under Mk 46 and note that it incorrectly uses the Mk 48 buttstock, or should I enter it in under Mk 48 and say it incorrectly is chambered in 5.56x45mm?

It looks more like a Mk48 to me.

It’s a Mark 46. That stock is not from the 48, it’s from the Product Improvement Program (“PIP”) for the M249 SAW. The Mark 48 usually has the original clubfoot stock or the para stock, but since they are all interchangeable, it’s not really a good way to ID it. --AgentGumby (talk) 22:45, 27 March 2019 (EDT)

For the record, that stock is from the Rapid Fielding Initiative, not the Product Improvement Program. The Product Improvement Program came in 1985 (before Picatinny rails were even a thing) and replaced the original original M249 tube stock with a plastic stock (or the clubfoot stock). The Rapid Fielding Initiative in 2002 then replaced it with the M4-style collapsible stock. For some reason, everybody thinks that the PIP was a really recent thing, and conflated it with the RFI. --Wuzh (talk) 00:15, 28 March 2019 (EDT)

Are we sure it's a 46 and not an M249 Para? Paras dressed up as Mk 46s aren't uncommon in video games. Spartan198 (talk) 13:02, 13 April 2019 (EDT)

Another thing to note about telling the Mk 46 and Mk 48 apart is that the Mk 48 has, AFAIK, never been issued with a para-length barrel. Spartan198 (talk) 13:08, 13 April 2019 (EDT)
