Jumbo.
"One fist of iron, the other of steel. If the right one don't-a get you then the left one will."
said to a man who broke the charging handle on his Bren, they are no longer upon this plane of existence
the year was 2521 as assistant director Jeun walks down the hall where they were holding the thing that they had made it was a sort of mix between a tank and a human they have taken out the vital organs and replaced them with the parts of an M4A3E2 Sherman "jumbo" along with modifying the genetics of its skin to match that of a Sherman the main cannon would be operated like an RPG-7, fired from the shoulder and loaded from the muzzle they were going to do final testing before giving the green-light for continuing with the rest of the program. the doors shunted open in front of her she snapped at the man to her right, "raise the cell" she said in an emotionless voice the man raised the cell in a stasis chamber the broken remains of a man lay project 244367 or as the men of the science station called it "jumbo", jumbo was the result of over several years of tinkering and R&D and trauma, trauma not for the scientists but instead for him, jumbo for jumbo it was constant testing, testing of which consisted of
- resistance against anti-tank rifles
- resistance against common small arms fire
- high calibre weapon training
- machine gun training
- muscular endurance
- muscular strength
- alcohol resistance
"wake it," Jeun says jumbo awakes with a mighty jolt "there is testing today at 12:00, we are here to bring you food for the time being, and get ready" jumbo ate the food if you could call it "food"
later that day
all of the remaining tests had been completed with flying colours and they had been given the green light to complete the program, now he would be sold to the highest bidder and that he was, he was old to a group of people who bought him to set him out of captivity now, he roams the stars although mostly sticking to backwater stations and rim colonies trying to stay out of conflict and attention that is unless he needs repairs to his systems. then he will gladly go into a populated location and due to these events in his life gaining his trust is a very hard thing to do along with getting him to truly relax
visual looks
jumbo is a tall lad standing at around 7ft but is not really lanky like most people of his height. His skin has the texture of sheet metal and the strength of rolled homogeneous armour he is clean-shaven and has green eyes the colour of his hair is a nice brown colour and is often seen sporting a concrete grey trench coat along with a dark grey soft cap for footwear he mostly wears matte black boots which have metal hardpoints in their rubberised grips
weaponry
76mm M1 cannon "boom-stick"
the broomstick is a custom weapon given to jumbo when he was still being tested upon although it brings back bad memories it is still very useful and is a key part of his arsenal
ammo types: APCR, HE, APFSDS, HEAT and shrapnel
Bren MK 1 ((not the post-Dunkirk version that one is cringe))
yeah, the gun is old and finding new parts is impossible but, the damn thing never jams and it's a tried and true platform there's nothing else that brings out the same for me. and it's a sexy damn gun, just look at the thing! jumbo his Bren is the standard-issue model of Bren light machine gun given to the British infantry during the second world war, it never jams it never overheats and you can fire it without a lower plate and recoil spring and not the difference. it's a work of art in his eyes and if you take it from him or damage it, you're going to get a punch to the face no matter what. it has the option for telescopic sights and good accuracy and can be used as a normal rifle due to its select-fire feature and jumbo has taken the time to fully take it apart and modify it to his own liking and has named it "the holy bren of Antioch" and engraved it with the phrases
"I am the way and the light except the light is muzzle flash" and upon the side of the receiver is written
"5 round burst shalt thou not fire, neither fire thou 15, excepting that thou then proceed to 35. 50 is right out! Once the 35th bullet is shot, being the 35th bullet shot, be reached, then fire once more thou thy Holy bren of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it".
modifications:
field stabilizer
rack for a 200 bullet belt box and the ability to fire belts
recoil suppressor
longer barrel
magnetic accelerator in the barrel
bright green paint to the tips of his iron sights
improved gas piston system ((lower chances of jams and more ammo choices))
improved bolt system ((better fire rate))
chrome lined barrel
ammo types:
tracer, full metal, incendiary, full metal jacket, aircraft belts, SAP, and a custom round jumbo called charger ((tracer with a higher powder yield sending the bullet faster))
Mars automatic pistol ((note: not actually automatic))
picture:
why do I like this gun? Everyone has a gun with a large bark in a small package, and this one was different from all the other ones, so I picked it! jumbo
the mars automatic is a handgun chambered in 45. magnum the mars auto is semi-automatic and has a very interesting loading system where it lifts the bullet from the magazine and puts it into the chamber via pulling it back from the magazine and then lifting it into the chamber ((this is a really bad example of how it works, forgotten weapons did a better job of explaining how it works)) due to the way it works it looks as if the back of the gun is exploding in the shooter's hands when chambering a round this gun is not for the light-hearted
modifications:
recoil absorber
glow sights
chrome lined barrel
Model 29 (8 3/8 in. barrel)
I got this thing on a rim planet, they said it was used by "dirty harry" whoever that is and by Jove did they make a big deal about its power jumbo
modifications:

field medicine
crushing a soda can with two fingers
knife throwing
ability to speak Scottish, welsh, and german

random shit
violin
I got it from a bloke that had sadly died on an old warship, the poor sod deserved better than what he had gotten
floppy disk with the word "EYE" written upon it
got it from the same warship as the violin, I think it was a scavenger mothership or somethin' don't know what on it, and I kinda don't to be honest
photo taken from the old scaver' ship
I'm keeping it for safekeeping until we meet jack again, I'd bet the bloke would want it
morse code reference sheet
I'm never gonna need it, or use it, but, I might as well keep it around, no harm in doing so after all? no?
random techy shit
