[pcbore]

Please note Im entering a watered down team Bored to make up numbers. So far Ill be entering:

1) The Crashing Bore
2) The Disc 5
3) NSBFR-X
4) Masamune
5) Twist of Fate
6) Firestorm V

Bore and NSBFR are unchanged from VFT6, Masamune is a new version of Scimiter and The Disc 5 is basically what it would be like if I had to build it for real. Twist of Fate is my newbie.
