Talk:Prometheus MXVIII-20K

It is claimed in this Wiki that the Hail-Fire has the greatest potential capacity due to drums. I must assume we’re talking about 35-round drums. The thing is, the HailFire can only connect to four of those drums at a time, not eight. So the maximum load theoretically is 140 darts. Am I missing something?

If there is a satisfactory explanation, I think it should be put right into the Trivia section; otherwise, I’ll just adjust or remove the HailFire reference.

 * The Hail-Fire is a special case because you can do a lot in regards to what clips/drums you use with it. I think the high capacity claim for that is because, with the use Flip Clip accessories and whatnot, you can get a capacity of somewhere in the 200s range. There should be an entire section on the Hail-Fire article about the different capacities you can get with different clip/drum sizes. Jet  [ Talk • Contributions ] 22:57, January 24, 2018 (UTC)


 * Aaah, thank you for that clarification. Although I think this flip-loading too should be subject to testing, since the Hail-Fire carriage is reputedly flimsy and sensitive to over-loading.
