Basicly, this is an ion gun. It uses a power source to ionise a sliver of copper wire, and then fire it forward using electromagnatism. It has little recoil but is reasonably heavy. The particle peam emmited glows a bright orange colour and is both very thin and the colour fades very quickly. Has two firemodes and two amoo types. Ammo: Copper wire. Gun holds 24mm, total 120mm. Batteries. Gun holds 10MJ, total 60MJ. Firemodes: single shot fires a single pulse. Uses 3mm of copper and 1MJ of energy. beam fires a continuous beam of ions. Uses 4mm of copper and 2MJ of energy per second. I haven't got a backstory for it. |

ummm... this sounds very much like a railgun |

Yes, this is pretty much a rail-gun. A rail-gun is a Purely electrical gun that accelerates a conductive projectile along a pair of metal rails. Railguns use two sliding or rolling contacts that permit a large electric current to pass through the projectile. This current interacts with the strong magnetic fields generated by the rails and this accelerates the projectile.[br][img width=180 height=120]../../files/public/1217100710_658_FT63485_180px-railgun-1.svg.png[/img] Almost your idea. Sorry! |

If it is a railgun, BW already has one. Perhaps you want more |

No, it is basically a railgun in one function, but it works by ionizing a piece of copper, shooting it and then a particle beam is caused somehow by it. The beam I suppose works by firing the wire without separating it, destroying it bit by bit but causing the extended beam. Is that close? |

Well, the railgun shoots solid slugs of deleted uranium. This shoots a beam of ionised copper particles. Both fire by the same effect, but one relies on the kinetic energy of the slug, the other on the thermal/kinetic energy of the ions. I also thoght that I should point out that it does nowhere near the same amount of damage as the railgun, and the beam is more of a long cone shape, with less damage the further you are from it. |

Maybe a short beamish burst not unlike the GRS9's special fire would give a better idea? But more of a spread out wave. |

I like this idea. Its basically an energy rifle, more or less what one would think of when they think blaster rifle; that is, an energy beam that has some travel time. Pretty awesome. Mechanically very similar to a railgun, but nothing alike in gameplay terms. Very cool, and quite original if I do say so myself. |
