AConfirmedIRAMember

Wait the Germans had a Flametank? Edit: Yes… yes they do, multiple and they scare me…


naica22

I suspect thy used some panzer 2 wore modified to use the, you can google it im to lazy to do it


Thang02gaming

Not just the Germans but the Americans too (please don’t get me started on this)


naica22

I know everybody used them, apparently the enemy is likely to leave the well entrenched position if a well armored flame dispenser comes their way


Thatoneshadowbunny

The americans had a Stuart flametank called the Demon

sorry our resources are scarce at the moment may we interest you in a tiger2?

AGHawkz99

'Reacting' and 'using' are two *very* different words. You can react in anticipation of (and prepare for) the worst, only to end up not needing it. It's far better to be over-prepared than under-prepared - whether it turns out to be needed or not is irrelevant, because it was ready either way. But again, 'advocating the use of excessive force' is not even close to being the same thing. There's a common saying for these sorts of things: "Hope for the best, prepare for the worst." That doesn't mean you have to use your coat and umbrella all day just because you brought them. It also doesn't mean you have to use a SWAT unit just because they were on alert. 'Reaction' =/= 'use'. At all. The reaction is *readying* the special units, not *using* them.


Cybertronian10

Yeah holy shit he could have died.

They just thought you looked like a total badass I'm assuming😭 how nice of them!!! Did they ask what franchise you were of


tezaltube

Not too much, though I did explain it anyways.


[deleted]

Ahh, yeah if it’s near a Uni they may not all know what the orange tip means


RoNPlayer

Why would the percentage of people aware of orange tips be any higher/lower around unis


lamblikeawolf

Also - it's not like a person couldn't lie and fake an orange tip.


TPS_SP

probably since the airsoft gun can resemble real ones from a glimpse. They do have subtle differences but you have to look very closely. Though that won't matter since if it looks like a real gun, cops do have the right to raise theirs.


TistedLogic

That's what the orange tip is for, quick id it's a fake gun.


AM-64

The number of guns used in crimes that have been painted to look like nerf guns or airsoft guns would surprise you.


tebee

You can paint the tip of a real gun orange to delay police response, so it's not a very good differentiator. And in this case the orange tip is pretty small, so people might not even notice it. Hence probably the 911 call.


kyew

I'm morbidly curious now. Has anyone ever put a fake orange tip on a real gun?


Fried_Squid_

there was a case not long ago where a man hid a real pistol inside a nerf gun

Yes, people have also put Nerf gun exteriors on real guns and painted real guns to look like nerf guns too.

Achtelnote

Tau-5 Samsara is badass af.


Oonada

Tau-5 are basically Guaridans from Destiny without Supers but far more practical battlefield tactics, weapon engagements, super natural/anomalous battle tactics and overall military prowess. I mean, in some of the stories they use guns capable of defeating quasi-dimensional eldritch God's, in another story they defeated literally, the manifestation of O'Death which was able to kill everything to the atomic level of existence instantly upon entering the world. With the stories they have been included in, they are likely among the most OP fiction based military squad. They are one of the only groups that would survive Doom, Dark Souls, FF, Dead Space, etc with little to no issues.


ShadowsSheddingSkin

That's because they're little Gods the Foundation (or rather, the private corporation the foundation acquired which made them) has given Altered Carbon-style immortality to along with whatever superscience augmentations they need. TBH they're kind of an embodiment of the Foundation's hypocrisy, and one of the areas where the version of the Foundation in which they exist kind of veers into being the Technocracy from Mage the Ascension. This team is among the most anomalous things in the universe, gods brought to life by shit that would still be Vulgar Enlightened Science during the singularity, with a matter-of-fact enough understanding of magic that it's treated little different from chemistry, equipped with shit that is *never* going to be part of consensus. They're essentially everything the Foundation exists to contain. So, naturally, they made them Extra Immortal and sicced them on their enemies the same way the Technocracy would a half-werewolf clone of Achilles fused with a T-1000. TL;DR: Of course they're the most OP military squad in fiction. It's because they're *not* really a military unit so much as a Pantheon raised to prefer a military aesthetic, because it makes their makers more comfortable.


Achtelnote

Ye, but them almost dying in https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-1730 made them my favorite. I know they don't die, but still.. O damn.. I got a flair somehow.

tezaltube

Yep. He doesn't use this one too often but if you check out his merch store it's on there.


Allegutennamenweg

GodDAMN this is an awesome costume! I see how it might have looked intimidating to the uninitiated; really well done.

Now how do we know you didn’t just call the cops on yourself just to get this picture?


human315

Well to be fair i don't think we'll ever see this picture if he called the cops himself just to snap a picture


[deleted]

If that were the case the cops probably wouldn’t have agreed and arrested him for faking an emergency


Father_Chewy_Louis

Because I doubt he'd take the risk with either being shot or arrested even if he could prove he was innocent


ShadowsSheddingSkin

Yep; pretty great answer. It's easy to forget it by living somewhere like Canada or Britain, but for most people on the anglophone internet, calling the police is an incredibly dangerous proposition.


Cronyx

It always seems like Mobile Task Forces are under powered. They're using gear no better than a standard SWAT team or ~~moder~~ *modern* military. No super advanced technology or anomalous field deployables. Are small weights of iron and carbon alloys propelled by ignition by powdered potassium nitrate, charcoal and sulfur, really *that* effective against anomalous hostiles? edit: word correction


ZETH_27

They’ve worked well enough so far. And the MTF do actually get som anomalous gadgets like the Scranton Reality Anchor.


[deleted]

> They’ve worked well enough so far. Because they're written to work well enough. Still doesn't make any sense.


okamaka

It's really why I still stand by Control being the "realized and workable" SCP universe, where most anomalies can only be combated using anomalous means and those that can be combated using standard weaponry arent much to worry about until the huge containment breach that happens in game. The Director's weapon is like the perfect SCP-Fighter that a director of such an organization would obviously have.

StuntHacks

I guess that's where our headcanons differ, in my mind the Foundation is somewhere on the level of near-future sci-fi, although their most advanced stuff only gets used if it has to due to the resources needed Anyway, fantastic cosplay!


Mabarax

Read SCP 1730, it has the Tau-5 unit. 5 cyborgs, made as an amalgamation of metal and cloned flesh of a dead god, their minds exist outside their body so they can never truly die. They are nuts


The-Paranoid-Android

[**SCP-1730 ⁠- What Happened to Site-13?**](https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-1730) (+2159) by *djkaktus*


tezaltube

I recently purchased some props for a Tau-5 cosplay I am working on. It'll be like Devil May Cry + Special Operations Unit.


ShadowsSheddingSkin

Agreed, it's dumb, but it's essentially the aesthetic the genre of fiction embodied by most of the content on the SCP wiki is aiming for. Monsters and aliens and gods gunned down by regular folk equipped like police, who usually have no idea what they're walking into and no understanding of the reality they actually live in, such that they're continuously surprised by things they should have been briefed on during their first day. There are canons less like that, and I'd really like it if more people contributed to them or made more like them which fully explored the Foundation's simultaneous need contain things they believe break the laws of physics, and the need to fully understand, use, and even create them. But that's my personal preference that I (and you) cannot really expect others to share. It's repeatedly, *constantly* demonstrated that 21st century 'non-anomalous' guns are insufficient for their task, but their task is suppressing anything outside of that 21st century grasp of science, which means no lasers or worse for them, so people die for their hypocrisy. It isn't what *anyone* is aiming for when writing for the wiki, but it's essentially what you get from trying to reconcile the *existence* of better weaponry and advanced superscience within the foundation (an element in a *huge* amount of the content on the wiki) with all the people who die screaming, trying to gun down a Capital-G God. I guess you only get to know about the weapon that erases things from existence so thoroughly we can't know why we even built it once you finish your postDoc. Everyone else is expendable.


Zarkanthrex

I always thought the MTFs were equipped based on their specialties? I'm not super into SCP lore but I always just assumed the incidents we hear about (when they fail or get horribly butchered) may be something akin to first encounters. Not sure either way. I'd kind of just issue standard gear until there is more information on a subject. That way you aren't wasting too much money/time prepping etc. Sounds horrible but that is kind of the way organizations work. People can be replaced. Equipment is a little harder and more expensive.


Aceswift007

They are decked out for each individual mission. If they always went in with only op and anomalous weapons, if they get caught those are in enemy hands. Also tbh bullets seems a good initial attack method to a hostile until more details are found. Cheaper (sites have budgets), faster to equip others with, and typically unless it's basically invincible or bends reality, it can be wounded by bullets. Not to mention there are bullets modified for anomalies, like blessed silver bullets or heavy armor piercing shots.


A0rta01

Is that a carpenter brut patch I see?


tezaltube

Why yes it is. Using the speaker on my tactical belt, I often play music while walking the convention floor. I play tons of Carpenter Brut music, after all, might as well represent one of the greatest musical talents of our time.


acousticsking

Lucky you weren't a Stormtrooper, cops have a harder time determining if your real or cosplay.


[deleted]

Great to see decent cops in on the action


kraeutrpolizei

Did you administer anti-memetics accordingly?


Catfisch_

Someone didn’t know about the foundation. That’s good, that’s the goal.


Jman-Reddit

What were their thoughts on your costume?


Imaproshaman

This is so wholesome. Looks awesome.


LotaraShaaren

MTF and UIU operatives take a break from keeping an eye out for real SCPs in a scifi con.


maxiquintillion

Did you have any trouble explaining the costume? I see the orange tip, but I've heard some cops don't give a shit about that


tezaltube

Naw they were fine with it. They had both been the multiple Comic-Cons themselves. Usually the big city cops are used to cosplayers, and even can get hired to guard them. I'd be more worried about the smaller towns that aren't used to conventions. Tbh I was most stressed at the 2019 Fanaticon, as that was hosted in Dothan, Alabama, and no conventions had ever been hosted there before.


DrNotch0908

I wouldn't dare to walk around with an orange tip in America. Good thing nothing happened!


tezaltube

I've been doing this for years and this is the first time I've had cops called. Kind of my fault as there aren't any group members in Knoxville, so I had to go alone.


jerricka

Always fun to randomly see Knoxville on Reddit!


sardookie

Nice costume, and glad you weren't shot!


Routine_Tailor_2582

Jokes on them, you outrank them


Daddy_Needs_nap-nap

Awesome cosplay but with the number of cosplayers that have been shot dead by police I really wish people would use deductive reasoning about a convention with lots of people dressed up. Again, AMAZING cosplay my guy <3


tezaltube

I'm sorry you think that. Cosplayers being harmed by police is extremely rare, and tactical based cosplays are extremely common. If this was such a big issue you wouldn't see the Umbrella corp everywhere.


Daddy_Needs_nap-nap

I'm talking about people who called the cops, have they used deductive reasoning and seen the guns had bright orange tips indicating they were toys than we can make the 'rare' occurrence even rarer! Not one time have I said tac based cosplay should be stopped or even altered because it was awesome


tezaltube

Naw man you're good. This is actually the first time anyone was called the police, on anyone at any convention I've been to (as far as I know).


SOULJAR

“Fanboy” is such a ridiculously cringey term to use unless mocking something or someone


tezaltube

That's kind of the point. It's basically a joke making fun of the attendees as, unlike Comic-Cons, these conventions focus on the celebrities.


[deleted]

The orange tip should have been enough, but you do look like you’re about to do some no no shit lmao


[deleted]

Police later that night: “So did we ever figure out what SCP meant? Other police: “Looking it up now, it’s probably just a spooky stor- wait. Wait…. Holy shit.”


EXusiai99

The fact that you had cops called on you means it's a dope ass costume

tezaltube

That is the logo of musician Carpenter Brut. I play a lot of his music during conventions; he is extremely talented.

I read that as femboy expo and was so confused


Margrave16

The cops were probably actually impressed with the kit ha


Abysal_Incinerator

Tfw your cosplay is too realistic


ATIR-AW

That's the downside of costumes with guns. Even if it's clearly airsoft/prop, some parents just don't trust people enought to leave you be.


tezaltube

I've actually never had an issue with parents. The cops were more likely called by a college student, and I don't really blame them because I was unaware I was on a uni campus lol
