Hi I'm new *bows* I hope this community stays alive because I read only a couple of posts and already interested in it. I plan on reading all of it soon. There's a lot of cool information that I could learn from and expand on. CF (i hope you don't mind a nickname, if u do I'll use ur full if u want) I think it'd be pretty complicated to make a MMORPG of Equilibrium (I have programming experience) It'd be freakin awesome but would require a lot to develop a game like that. Fastest/easiest/simplest way to make a game about it is starting a RP (if u don't know exactly wut i mean by that, it's like story telling) Now that I think bout it I'm thinking bout starting a Equilibrium RP sometime. I haven't read it all yet. What is everyone trying to develop exactly? o.O As far as I can tell it looks like yall are trying to design highly efficient guns.

Hey R-Zero ... well, this question has actually been done to death in the forum. Ain't no MMORPG of Equilibrium happening.
Period. End of story. That's just how it shakes out.
Now, I've always said ... maybe a tabletop roleplay game ...

I was saying I was thinking bout starting a online RP (story telling style or "text based") Not a RPG lol that's ridiculous. After reading the first couple of posts I realized yall are trying to make ur own martial art ^_^ I kinda tried makin up my own but it's only ideas not really tangible stuff like yall are doing. I still think I can help tho

There have been several forum-based EQ RPGs, though they don't really take off here it seems. Aedh's 'In the Army Now' thread has been the most successful but that's more 'creative freeform storytelling' than proper roleplaying.
Still cool though.

Xaio....I see a lot of good points in your post. The way you described the dodge movements, it brought to mind another movie :"The art of war" starring Wesley Snipes. In the final fight with Michael Biehn, he moves/dodges in quite the same way you are describing, and I remember thinking it was a great idea when I first saw it. You may be on to something there Xaio! I'll try something along what you mentionned and report back when I can (I'm getting married in a few weeks...). Another idea I had when I saw the fight with the other high cleric at the end of EQ (I forget his name at the moment, sorry!), I think the way they are fighting looks a lot like Arnis/Escrima/Kali. Ideas about that anyone? dude i thought the same thing bout alot of the movements without guns. as in how he would disarm or avoid someone it looked very similar to Kali.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello, all.
I have been reading some of your ideas. The Airsoft one seems to be about the most feasible. There are a lot of police departments that are using Airsoft as a low cost training tool to simulate force on force scenarios. There are Airsoft paintball munitions available, but the availability of these is somewhat limited in some areas.
I do love the idea of making the gun Kata a reality. I am currently serving in the US Army and have a reasonable amount of experience involving firearms and marksmanship. As far as the practical application and accuracy, I should think that it would boil down to a practice called point shooting and reflexive fire techniques. If you are interested in either of these topics, some good reads are those from Colonel Rex Applegate, Jeff Cooper, and the book 'Bull's Eyes Don't Shoot Back', among others. There are also several excellent shooting materials available from various training agencies, such as Magpul Dynamics, Gunsite Academy, and Paladin Press just to name a few. Now, while these institutions focus on primarily traditional methods of utilizing firearms, the quality and quantity of the information available is excellent. Like a very wise man once said to me, 'Never stop learning.' Another very wise man also said, 'There's no one way to do anything.'
In regards to firearms, the Beretta 92 series and the Glock are excellent choices. Reliability and capacity for either model are outstanding. However, it all comes down to personal preference. I am a big fan of the Springfield Armory XD series. I currently have one and to date have put almost 5,000 rounds of ammunition of various brands through it with only one malfunction. That's pretty solid no matter how you slice it up. Personally, I find that the Beretta and Glock don't fit my hand as well. I have been genetically predisposed with what I call 'little girl hands', and the XD just feels right.
The biggest thing to remember is that the operative word in gunfight is 'fight'. While the pursuit of martial arts and combat arts to further enhance your personal well-being is admirable, the mental focus to survive any violent encounter must become ingrained. The most important thing to remember, while this pursuit may be fun, you must be able to defend yourself whenever the need arises. Also, you must always take into account you surroundings. Remember the rule regarding firearms: 1) Treat all firearms as if the were loaded. 2) Never point your weapon at anything you do not intend to destroy. 3) Keep your finger straight and off the trigger until your sights are on target. 4) Be sure of your target.
Finally, I am assigned to the 25th Infantry Division, 'Tropic Lightning', out of Schofield Barracks, HI. If anyone is close by, I would love to get together and discuss any ideas you have.

I just joined this Forum so I dont know how long you guy/gals have been trying to make an the Gun Kata/Waltez I think Krav Maga would be a good Martial Art to Borrow or center around.

Ah, yes, Krav Maga, the Israeli martial art. I know it is widely taught in the US among defence and law enforcement. You are right ... one would think it would be popular in an action film context, especially just since it IS really used.

Greetings,
Let me begin by saying that I have not seen the movie. I plan to see it in the future. That being said, I understand the premise of Gun Kata and find it intriguing and familar. Also, as an aside, it seems that this forum is having some technical problems. I am attempting to post to a thread that discussed using Krav Maga as a basis for some future movie/ development of Gun Kaga techniques. If I end up elsewhere I beg your pardon. Herewith my 0.02 USD worth.
Not to disagree but simply to comment, Krav Maga is an effective method of equiping an individual to deal with sudden violence of a severe nature, (i.e. terrorist threat).
It is not, however, what a highly trained and (because of unique training regiemes that have been around for hundreds of years) physically altered individual would do or how it would be done. That seems to be the kind of individual the movie is using as a reference. (correct me if I am wrong)
Krav Maga is some of the best that the "only human" (not specially conditioned) individual could do. Hence the use of Krav Maga by many of the armed services. They must develop combat skills in the shortest possible time with the greatest effect. The work of Imi Lichtenfeld has stood the test of time. I believe it is some of the best available.
The specially conditioned individual (a process that takes years under knowledgable tuitition) is capable of far more.
For this reason, the gun fighting skills of such an individual is also very different from those of the highly skilled but again, "only human". Finely honed, yet organic, body awareness; yeilding superb movement skills both on the ground and on one's feet, outclass even the trained reactions of those who have learned stance, accuracy, movement and fire discipline.
It is the case of the marksman being out manuvered by the leopard because in this case the leopard is not only a physically superior hunter but similarly armed.
Here we are not talking about simple physical conditioning. I was with special operations and am very familar with the incredible fittness of Seals or Rangers or others.
With this kind of conditioning as a basis and specific tactical training that exploits these unique physical capabilities, it is possible to do some of what seems to be proposed here. But it is not found with "bigger, faster, stronger, more".
Anyway, I thought this might be of interest.

Unfortunately any technical problems here are beyond our control, as our webmistress JenGe is pretty much permanently AWOL these days. But welcome to the boards and we thank you for your interesting and well thought out input!
