Topic on User talk:Astounding Beyond Belief/Sandbox/Vehicle Template Overhaul

I would have to suggest the inclusion of a subcategory for “worn weapons” for equipment that is worn rather than handheld. Weapons that are carried in a pocket-sized/positioned sheath (A small blade or firearm) would not count for this.

Do we have any such pages?

The Omni-Directional Mobility Gear sandbox. I’ll look to see if there is anything else that might arise.

Perhaps it would be better to use "personal weapons" and "personal devices". It would easily fit into the latter category.

Another idea has occurred. There are many pages for what amount to explosives or ammunition.

Again, what pages?

• Cadmium
• EMP Harpoon
• EMP Probe
• GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrator
• Vulture missile
• MGR-1 Honest John
• MIM-104 Patriot
• Polonium-210
• Potaedong 55
• Thermo-Pressure Warhead
• Type 79 Jyu-MAT
• Type 81 Surface-to-Air Missile
• Type 88 Surface-to-Ship Missile
• D-03 Missile
• M270 MLRS
• Half Track V2 Rockets
• Z-Plan Rocket
• Sonde
• Nanometal

This is what I’ve found so far.

Most of these sort easily enough under the new system.

• I put Cadmium, Polonium-210, and Nanometal in miscellaneous along with the other handful of substances.
• The EMP Harpoon is a personal weapon.
• The EMP Probe, Half Track V2 Rockets, and Vulture missile are or are fired from stational terrestrial launchers.
• The Type 79 Jyu-MAT, Type 81 Surface-to-Air Missile, and Type 88 Surface-to-Ship Missile are or are fired from mobile terrestrial launchers.
• Honest Johns and Patriots could/can only be launched from trucks, making them terrestrial. Though the Patriot's category could be complicated if the U.S. goes through with its plans to mount them on ships.
• The GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrator can only be used by a B-2 Spirit, so I put it in the Aerial category. But because of this exclusive relationship, I'm not overly convinced it needs its own page, and I feel the same about the Thermo-Pressure Warheads (only used by Landing Craft).
• The Z-Plan Rocket is a spacecraft.

Following my own logic, I suppose the Potaedong 55 should go into the terrestrial category, although it launches from a hangar rather than a turret. The D-03 Missile is tricky because it's launched by both terrestrial and aquatic vehicles. There are a few of those edge cases that would make sense in multiple categories...

I figured a “explosives/ammunition” subcategory would necessary because it would be self-explanatory, simple, and filled up. But I can see that there isn’t enough for it to be ideal.
