G144 General Purpose Marker Story: While trying to develop a better flamer fuel, the researchers stumbled upon a powder that has different characteristics when charged with electricity. They first found that its color changed when charged, going from red to yellow to green to blue to clear. They found that these all had special uses; some are more flammable than others, and some are caustic to skin. They packaged these as aerosol cans that can be used with a special sprayer Summary: It's a can o' spray paint. The poor man's flamer. You can light the paint on fire, spray it in people's eyes, and make rockets fly off course. Primary Fire: This sprays out a colored powder that sticks to stuff. Its effects are determined by the fire mode. Fire Modes: Red Spray: Highly flammable; burns longer than flamer fuel, but does less damage per second. Useful for making walls of fire. Yellow Spray: Used as mace, this spray does damage while temporarily blinding the attacked character. Does not burn long or for much damage. Green Spray: This spray can make rockets that fly too near aim at the spray. Nearby rockets are automatically redirected to the green area. This can be used to make rockets less useful as super long distance snipers (to balance, maybe rockets fly faster.) This substance is not flammable. It can survive a couple rocket blasts, but each one erases a few layers. Blue Spray: This radio- and IR-paque substance blocks the view of rail gun scopes. It can be seen from extreme distances, and people running in front of it can cast a shadow, so it can also be used for extreme long range sniping. Flammability similar to yellow. White Spray: This mostly clear spray is used in making flame traps, especially in conjunction with mines. Not as powerful or long burning as red spray, it is mostly used as a mine upgrader. Secondary Fire: Shoots out a weak flame; Nowhere near as long range or damage as the Flamer's fire. Ammo: 20 in each can; pickup 1 can of ammo; max ammo 80 + 20 in the sprayer. Special and Appearance: The gun looks like a small pistol with a canister hanging from near the front. I can think of no special. Parting Remarks: Some of the colors could be combined into one, like green and blue. I used all 5 of those colors as separate ideas that could be used as bases. |

This sounds pretty awesome. I think the various modes could use a bit of tweaking, but other than that its pretty awesome. |

It be a good, if not really good, general-purpose weapon enhancer/nullifier. It could also be the weapon my Blackadder has been looking for: just replace the mace/pepper spray with hallucinatory gas (really, pepper spray is just too tame for BW). But a bit of note: what happens if Lightning happens to strike at the mark? Does it change color again (that would be a very nice mix-up game) or retain their color-features? |

I support this idea except one thing: appearance. As is, it's the 2k4 BioRifle. How about something that looks more like a modern paintball gun? That would be cooler IMO. And no hallucinatory gas! Mace idea could be useful since you can blind the other for a longer time than an AM67 flash. But hallucinatory gas.... that'd just make controls go wonky and that's all. Maybe you'd see a random player look like a Warlord for a bit too. But that's kinda cruddy compared to the mace idea IMO. |

G145 Marker Gun Story/Summary: A gun designed to use the G144 paint Primary Fire: This sprays out a colored powder that sticks to stuff. Its effects are determined by the fire mode. Secondary Fire: This launches a paintball at double ammo cost. I'm imagining it has the same arc but 10 times the velocity of the M50 grenade. Used to mark rocket targets or create a fire wall from a safe distance. Fire Modes: See above. Ammo: Maybe twice above stated, to allow better fires Special and Appearance: The special sprays out a chemical that reacts with the paints, thus creating fire. Looks like a paintball gun. Edit: Alternatively, it could be a break open design, with the canister being the center of balance of the gun. This would look like a water gun, probably. Thanks to OCAdam for the ideas. |
