A submachine gun / carbine type weapon (here's a nice one: http://www.cx4storm.com/ ) that fires .40 S&W or .45 ACP caliber bullets in primary mode, and medium powered energy projectiles in secondary. So mode 1 is basically for fast spraying, and mode 2 for slower but more powerful and accurate shots. In the BW / Archon universe, such a hybrid weapon would make perfect sense imo, best of both worlds... |

Energy projectiles should go much faster than a bullet, close to the speed of light actually. This is one of the reasons why I want to make normal bullets velocitical, that makes you see difference from the speed of sound to the speed of light. |

By energy projectiles I mean the stuff shot by the skrith guns or the link gun. Plasma balls or something. I don't know how fast those would move IRL, and frankly I don't really care as long as it looks cool.  They should be fast, but definitely not tracehit imo.

i really like this idea, nice smart and well thought out!! kinda like a mix of the Assault rifle and the X2 submachine gun |

Compressed plasma into a ball is not the same as energy pulses. 
But I really want UTC to make energy weapons meant for light penetration like my pistol idea. Or even make a machinegun-like weapon too. |

You wouldn't be able to see it anyhow...speed of light is 186 282.397 miles per SECOND. Railgun effect is cool though. |

Yeah, that would be cool too... Not like U4E's phasor though, the primfire beam causes too much lag imo. Altfire otoh is excellent. |

Everything is energy from movement to water. What makes a railgun an "energy shot", is because a railgun shoots a bullet so fast that the energy levels the movement produces is insane, electrons get sucked into the bullet from the oxygen, nitrade molecules in the air and cause beatiful blue trail. Plasma in itself can be two things, a state of matter when it is million of degrees C° hot, or the chemical plasma that can be found in suns and the singularity of black holes. Plasma is called something else in the chart of chems., I can´t remember the name though. |

Plasma is also the name for what all the materials in your blood float around in, pretty much the liquid part, if that's what your referring to as the second thing. Lol, this reminds me of something my science teacher said...One kid's like "oh there are plasma TV's!" And my teacher goes, "Yes, but if they were really PLASMA TV's, you and your buddies would be incinerated, along with every local city when you tried to watch the game." |

Nah, I´d rather say it´s the third thing plasma can be.
The other two I mentioned are pretty related though. |

Hmmmm... this whole thing seems to sort of smell a little like Halo. Not that that's a problem ;b In Halo, you HAD to pull off combos with Energy and Solid ammunition. Especially on the highest difficulty. Bring your enemy's energy shield down with the interference of a fully charged blast from the Plasma Pistol, and land in a headshot with the Magnum. Two shot kill. ON LEGENDARY. But yeah. An energy carbine isn't too bad of an idea ;b |

Yeah, an energy / ballistic combo weapon could be cool... We'd have to figure out what kind of energy weapon though... BTW, all weapons are technically energy weapons! Bullet ones and railguns are very similar and do damage by kinetic energy. (railguns just fire the projectiles much faster) Plasma is very versatile stuff and could do all kinds of things, but it does not use kinetic energy to damage. It would be more like burning with heat or conduction electicity or something very interesting...:evil: |

What about when you die by a plasma projectile you become a skeleton with blue plasma "powder" around?

Yay, plasmaskeletons! Powder sounds good, even though I have no idea what you're talking about tbh. :lol: |

When plasma (in suns, not in the blood) becomes solid, it will become a powder I think. Blue-ish very hot powder. |

a ballistic/energy/plasma weapon ey'?? sounds interesting.. we also want a plasma gun, but it will not do exactly what ure thinkin';) |

I think you should keep plasma and energy in seperate guns...:S |
