While searching for powerfull arms online I found this baby.

Here's a short description.

And here's what someone who used it has to say about it

Nice gun, isn't it?

It's essentially a pistol version of a 40k bolter rifle. They're only that big so they look cool. I mean, what would you think if you saw some big ass spacemarines charging towards you with flimsy little rifles going "psshhht!"?

You wouldn't know what hit you, that's right!

I don't really like these kind of weapons. I want to look at the weapon and imagine that this will do a lot of chaos, a pistol firing rockets doesn't sound all that good to me in that case.

I think thats a cool little weapon, I never even knew about these, its pretty interesting.

Regardless of whether or not it seems dangerous, it is an interesting concept, nonetheless.

What can be not good about some Charlies saying:

Hey, did the truck get a flat tir- OMG, WHERE"S YOUR HEAD!"

Now replace Charlie with Skrith and you're done.

But as the natural laws say, the bigger the gun, the heavier stuff you can fire.

The idea never realy picked up there....
Though I still like the idea of some kind of rocket pistol.

But then it'd just be a rocket launcher...

It doesn't launch explosive rounds, they're just rocket propelled bullets.

they had this gun in the original mission impossible game on the PS1... it was one of those bonus guns ya'know.... they claimed it to be rockets... i hated it

In the N64 version of MI, you got to use the rocket pistol on the train level, when you chased down that one guy. At the end basically. I liked it, it took out the chopper with ease!

I'm not too keen on this specific gun, but I love the concept. Some sort of semi auto rocket rifle for BW would be an awesome addition.

I'm with you on this one Bjossi. This pistol to me would seem totally out of place in the BW (PA) universe.

Logans run anyone. A Gyroc pistol could be fun it would be futuristic and fun to use. The round would hurt but not be leathel with a single round.

interesting concept...didnt these things fail horribly in real life? i dont really see much difference in this idea and just saying a weapon has HV or AP rounds, unless your going to make the rockets slower than current bullets...which is not a good thing

variety is a nice thing and hey why wouldnt ppl from the ballistic univers try this method out, i mean they forgot about ballistic weapons so they may have gotten into a frenzied half baked idea
"lets put a rocket on it, that way it'll go faster"
that sonds very possible to me, so by all means go for it

rockets are not faster than bullets!! not much point in making a low calibre rocket on a pistol

still.. this is the future, so who knows what they woulda come up with

i never said they were faster...im just saying the dumb outland guys on the fringe planets might have thought that...

lol, I don't think they are THAT dumb man.

Hey SB, are there going to be any new musics for BW on 2.0? I loved the 4 that you gave us, but... I'd love some more!

...crazy then i mean who else would live on the edge of the unknown?...and use a gun that shoots little mini rockets

Want to make them useful. Make the little rockets smart.

Firemode 1 just like a normal pistiol point and click.

Fiemode two. Loiters. Rocket lauches then circle for thirty seconds. Will attack any foe that comes close.

Firemode Three seeker point at target till gun beeps and fire. Round will track target on a flat plane going around corners and down halls till it hits or runs out of feul.

Rounds out of ammo act like tiny mines and do small explosive damage to foes that step on them for a period of time.

This sounds like G5RLP, G5 Rocket Launche Portable (tm). Smart rockets might be fun to implement into the G5 and the light RL that will appear later down the road.

There are other ways of making them useful too. For example:

1. Explosive payload. This doesn't mean that the rockets would have an area effect. They're most likely far too small for that. It just means that they'd do huge amounts of damage if you managed to tag someone with one. Since the projectiles are self propelled and move much more slowly than bullets, explosive mini rockets would be a perfectly plausible concept, (as opposed to explosive bullets I mean).

2. High rate of fire. Self propelled weapons have much lower recoil compared to explosive propelled (can't remember the correct term) weapons of the same calibre. With rockets the size of bullets or a little larger, there would be no recoil at all. This means that the rate of fire is limited only by the ability of the gun's designers. Some sort of heavy weapon version of this could pump out a truly terrifying swarm of mini rockets without taxing the user's strength at all.

oh god, I really want some sort of mini swarm missile weapon now...

Once I can pay to sponser the Kestrel you'll have one.

You need to find the perfect medium when it comes to bullet speed, rockets could go slower to get stuck inside you and then blow up. Like a rocket filled with stable isotope of nitro-clycerine, then maybe on impact it is mixed with a radioactive chemical that will unstabalize the former and blow it up.

sorry 'bout that Rayne.. misread

still, such a thing could probably exist in the Outworld, like lots of other, less useful things about our music.. dunno.. kinda forgotten how to make music sinuses packed with various other stuff at the moment

You've stashed the 2.0 beta in your sinuses?

Anyway, as I mentioned in the previous gyrojet thread, I think this would work best as a hybrid weapon, so one that shoots both rockets (box mag in front of trigger) and bullets (mag in pistol grip). 5 medium-high damage micro rockets and 15 low-medium damage bullets, for example. Rockets could be explosive, poison, incendiary, EMP, whatever... Special could be a target painter laser, for guiding the rockets onto, well, targets. Hm, I'm really starting to like this idea...

This is starting to sound like the OICW

I myself was more thinking of a bolter gun like in Warhammer 40k, or a pistol version of it, with multiple ammo types. (standard/explosive/etc.)

What is sinuses?

Sinus:

- English: nose cavities

- Latin: chest

- Math: side a divided by side b

Sort of... except that it would be a pistol fitted with a rocket launcher rather than an AR fitted with a grenade launcher. It would look a bit (a lot, actually) like a [url=http://www.enemyforces.com/firearms/hkusp.jpg
]LAM-equipped HK USP[/url]. The LAM would be replaced by the micro rocket launcher, but it would be the same basic shape and hold 2-3 15-20 mm rockets in a box magazine. Now, the only problem is that I'd also like this thing to have a detachable silencer and an ammo switch option, but Special's already taken (laser). But maybe the RS guys (or someone else) can come up with a creative solution...

Bah, that weapon sounds like it'd suck. Laser guidance, smart missiles and the likes all go way past the intentional idea that made me start this thread.

I wanted to suggest a pistol/machine gun that shot rocket-propelled bullets, maybe with an alternate, explosive ammo. The thing would go either "psht!" or make a more exciting sound. A bolter pistol or a bolter rifle.

Now this thread has turned into some "Let's think up more and more advanced micro rocket launchers!" discussion...
