ok people, for those of you who want a sniper type weapon, or a new suit weapon, or something in that regard, i have the weapon for yous.
not long ago i posed that the coil gun would be ideal for a new weapon, similer to the railgun, but entirely differnet design.
well i remeber now that there is another new weapon that the military has been working on for quite a few years now, ETC (Electro Thermal Chemical) guns..... basically they opperate on the same principle that a chemical reaction can be transformed into kinetic energy which is what out regular guns do, but this is different, due to the fact that the chemical mix used is far more powerful then conventional mixes.. the chemical mix is ignited by an electric current, and not by physical force hitting a primer.
i believe this to be ideal for tau weapons, as the only moving parts in the gun is the projectile and loading system.
however i cant think of any stats that are suitable for it.
well i hope that not only will this gun be thought about, but i would really like this thread to be dedicated to new weapons for the tau, i mean even something utterly rediculous that has no scientific background would be good. as long as it has a practical use for it.
this is all about ideas. who cares whether it can be used in the game or not. ideas people, ideas are created from imagination, imagination is created from dreams. so go and get some sleep. :tongue:
P.S. yes i know this topic has been around. and there is a thread also, somewhere i think. but anyone who is going to post a reply telling me that and demanding that i bring them threads back up instead of starting a new one, is a simple minded fool. IMHO. emphasis on the my opinion part.
this is about new ideas, not old ones.
