Well, ive worked on tis for quite a while now and ive even textured it ;D

the electro sword basically consists of a sword with electricity on it the electricity it charged through the sword onto a steel/glass point.
if you over charge the battery you can fire a lightening bolt a someone, p.s if i can reinstall fraps you shall see the electro sword ;D

primary fire.
slicing attack

secondary fire. lightening bolt

Tertiary. Block

Sound like just a variation of the dark star, but it might look cooler.

I Edited the electo sword to have a glass handle!! it also is fully textured and to be honest i think im going to animate it and probably give it to Capt Xavious if he wants it, i've had trouble with uplodaing a pic because teh tinypic website dosnt show the authentication password >:(
so i'll try upload it a differnt way.

Cool idea! Glass handle for it is an awesome idea, since its insulating properties should keep the user free from shock, but I think you'd find it'd crack after a hitting something with the blade a few times. Just coll it some sort of clear plastic and it'll be good. ;)

Got a few comments on it though.

First off, where's the edge to the blade?

I see an edge on the tip, but it doesn't look terribly useful for much of anything with just that. Are you supposed to bludgeon the bad guys to death with it? :P

Also, the handle looks weird. Its much too thick and too short. I say make it longer and a bit smaller around. Looks really hard to hold, and especially hard to hang on to while swinging it around and bludgeoning some skulls with it. ;)

Also, on the bottom pic it looks like two cylinders are misaligned. Looks weird. Is it deliberate?

im going to fix this and reallign them afte that im going to find some HD textures and then make it Amazing ;D

im then going to Animate it and see if Capt xavious can code it and put it in the game ;D

P.S the glass is safety glass with a steel frame surounding it, so it wont break easily ;D

and plastic would just melt and leave the user open to electrocution, An electric arc is over 2000 degrees :shock:

ad enough to vaporize you with one touch :shock:

P.P.S The electro swords Arc ability will have an amazing damage but you cant do it for more than 5 seconds if you do it for longer your sword has a chance of overloading ad making a explosion similar toi the bfg only smaller

now i dont know if this will work but ive got an idea for a weapon special 2! basically you can throw your sword and let it fire arcs of electricity everywhere at the price of your sword ;D

Um... I don't think that theory would work. Whats the point of having the steel frame around the safety class? You might as well just have a steel frame. Besides, just the shock of you hitting something with the blade will likely cause the glass to break. Steel on the outside of it will do pretty much nothing.

Plastics are used to insulate high powered electric lines... They don't melt. And it wouldn't cause an electric arc anyways because the electricity would not arc to the insulating plastic, it probably go for the steel reinforcements, since its got less resistance 'n junk. ;)

Thermosetting plastics don't melt, they just burn at high temputures. Thermoplastics will melt. Personally, i'd stuck the f**k away from plastics when using tempertures at high, they'd just be destroyed instantly, and this is negated on powerlines because powerlines are very thick, so the electricty doesn't heat it up very much, its more used for insulation (I.E. stop people getting electrocuted) than for heat protection.

And glass can be extremely strong, its bonds are very strong, stronger than those in steel anyway (Glass is extremely strong, its just brittle which negates the strength), so just add the right elements and bam, you have yourself a very strong, heat resistant glass that could be used in the sword, my suggestion is just make a new type of glass and just use that.

i'd personally would use polyurethae it dosnt burn and is VERY strong, only problem is is that its not see through ;D

I'd have to agree with beta for this one, plastic is only good for making something like glass but very strong.

I think heta resistant glass would be good ;D

I don't think you'd even be getting any heat is my point. The electricity wouldn't arc to the plastic, so there'd be no heat. If the electricity arced to the handle it'd be a pretty major design flaw anyways.

And plastics (polyurethane included) can be clear.

And the fact that glass is brittle is the problem. I'm not talking about impact resistance, I'm talking about the kinetic shock you get when you hit things. If you'd ever swung something at something hard, you'll feel this shock in your hands. Swing hard enough and it hurts like hell.

Because the weapon is not one solid piece of metal or whatnot, you'll be getting the various components shaking at different frequencies when you hit something. This will likely cause brittle materials to break. Reinforcing fibers in the glass could lessen this though.

And Sgt. Kelly's idea works too. Some sort of ceramic/crystalline material is a totally viable option.

Though ultimately, the point is kinda moot because the player doesn't really need to know how it works or what its made of. :P

Hi guys its been a while since i worked on this idea so i thought i'd show you a new texture i added to the Sword

Also i've decided to post pics of a gun i worked on ages ago called the Black shadow Rifle which looks pritty neat ;D

Electro Sword.

Image

Black Shadow Rifle.

Image

The Black shadow rifle fires Nothing more than nanites Which are harmless in small doses but in high doses literally Eats people alive So it has a clip of 15 primary fire Shoots bolts of nanites Which have a Black Trail Hense the Name, The Secondary fire Is a Faster Charge Shot which Takes
Three Bullets But can kill Take almost 75 Health, it takes 3 Seconds To charge.

Special Fire Actually Makes You take out the Clip and throw it, Making a Huge Explosion and a black cloud which dosnt last for long but Is Deadlier than Toxic gas.

The texture is a Placeholder i am going to make it better When i have time ;D

P.S I hope that this idea can be added to a Weapon pack Because it Really does belong in Bw ;D

Okay i made a New texture For The Black Shadow rifle

Its a bit of a change but the best i could do in 5 minutes i also made little changes.
