A309 Skrith plasma/goop thrower

Primary- Uses the plasmite injector to ignite enemies in a blue flame, it can also ignite fuel from the RX22A but in a more blue firey way. has higher damage, but has a shorter range

Damage- higher than the RX22A

Alt- Launches a glob of plasma that is blue like the primary, but can kill like a UT3 style bio rifle, it can also be ignited like the RX22A, but has less damage but has more Scorch damage. but it deals very weak damage, and can only be used sparingly.

Damage: 30-33

Special- Uses the blade underneath the barrel, it deals high enough damage to kill a person in 3-4 swipes.

Damage-25

Ammo- 175 for the plasma flamer, 30 for the goop

Story- used to ignite fields, this Skrith flamethrower can easily take out humans as well as crops, it was invented after a stunning defeat on Harito, the unknown skrith engineers worked hard to have their revenge on the humans that defeated them, the A309 was born on 5/13/2136, The Hot Plasmite injector allows blue plasma flames to punch through armor and humans, the Skrrat Anti human Gel or Goop to us, allows to ignite a certain spot with blue flames or can hurt a person outright. a blade was fitted underneath the barrel to get up close and damage vital organs.

Death Messages:


Primary-

SX made Xan into a Blue Bonfire

SX's Flamer toasted Xan, now go and make s'mores!


Alt-

Xan drank SX's Blue goo, Bad Xan!

SX launched a Goop at Xan's feet, then lit it, now Xan is blue.


Special-

SX drove a blade through Xan's Head

Xan Jumped into SX's Blade


Suicide-

Xan loves blue fire, so much that he ran into it. (Primary)

Xan drank his own goo, ew... (Alt)

This is pretty awesome. Interesting take on both a plasma rifle and a flame thrower.

Is secondary fire throwing a large ball of fiery plasma or is it lobbing blue goop? Im not sure.

I'm doing something similar as a replacement for the Skrith Rifle's rather pointless semi-auto and burst modes. It'll blast big blue plasma bolts in an arc, leaving blue flames behind and setting anyone it hits in an intense blue fire. The fire effect would do more damage than the RX22A's but won't last so damn long.

Hrrm? That picture looks like an M50 stock on a warhammer 40k plasma gun with a clip on it.


I don't see the point of giving it the exact same damage as the current flamethrower. What about giving it a much higher damage, much shorter range and a shorter burn duration? You could explain it by saying that plasma burns much faster and hotter than regular fuel.

Also, I think the secondary fire blob should be burning.

Plasma flamethrowers, in reality, would be incredibly impractical, if not impossible. Plasma would be much more suited to a particle beam weapon. As a flamethrower, the high energy of the plasma is liable to toast the wielder as well.

The idea of slow-moving plasma blobs for projectiles is also likewise silly and impractical. But hey, video games, etc.

I wouldnt say a plasma thrower would be impossible

Seeing as how fire is already a low density plasma, I am pretty sure a plasma thrower can be acheived by only increasing that density to a small degree but not enough to make it electrical.

Of course the fire will behave very differently, so how useful it is as a flamethrower could come into question.

The lightning gun for example can already be considered a (realistic) plasma thrower and we know it has very different capabilities.

At the very least, plasma from this weapon will move slower, burn hotter, dissipate quicker and slightly follow its targets so it should not be anything like the current flamethrower.

Eh... not really.

Read this article.

A "Plasma flame" would behave differently in that it would dissipate almost instantly, due to their incredibly high energies. It wouldn't move slower. It would actually move incredibly fast.

Darn, I knew it dissipated quicker but I had no idea it vanished that fast.

Whatever plasma exists in this weapon in order for it to work cannot be too much then
