Since so many people have wanted some sort of weapon that could nail people to walls i was thinking that some kind of break open stake launcher would be suitable. Basically a shotgun, holding 2 shots it is strong but has a long reload time, massive recoil, fair maneouverability and massive sound. as for the firing modes i think primary fire should be 1 stake and secondary should be 2 stakes, simple enough. If the person is close to a wall, object or even another person (teamates only if friendly fire is on) then they will be nailed to it, killing them, providing they have no armor, otherwise they lose 100 armor and 50 health.

Nailing people to walls, terrain, staticmeshes, or even other players without (necessarily) killing them would be even more fun. Watch them squirm as you set them on fire or whatever. Not sure though how difficult it would be to code, might work better in UT3 as that game at least has some native impalement support (Stinger alt).

If mr Xavious manage to truly make his shotgun(s?) inot the game he has another crazy idea in mind which might please.

A break open, double shotgun that launches stakes?

Thats... er... a crazy idea... yeah... crazy...

looks like someone's been looking in my book of weapons...

Maybe he wants a double barreled stakegun.

erm... no i never touched ur book of weapons....

...any way, if you want something crazy take something like the FAMARS Rombo, and make it shoot stakes...

4 barrels anybody???

Riiight. Like I believe you.

.... ermmm....uhh...ok... anyway, some info on the FAMARS:

The Rombo is a truly unique gun for the connoisseur, collector and bird hunter. It has four chopper lump barrels - available in 28 and .410 gauges only, making it a delight for the enthusiast. The technical skills demanded to design and make lockwork which fires consecutively and sequentially using just one trigger are considerable and show the talents of the Famars gunmaking team at its best. Automatic ejection is another unusual feature. Safety is manual. A hand made sidelever is available on request.

...just an idea...

I actually already have a pretty good idea for a dual barreled break open stake launching shotgun.

...Just as soon as I figure out this dang animation process.

Hey! Lets make a minigun stake launcher!

Or a orbital ion stake cannon.

ermm...no, i think a break-open shotgun would be best, so what are some good break-open shotguns?

Oh, I dunno... maybe that one thats already modeled out in my thread...

I think he was hinting on real model, after all those are so much better than any other custom design out there, am i rite?

well, i was thinking maybe one based of a current one... but a custom one could be good also...

I has skrith stake like thing idea in mind. :3 Shocky sparky stakes.

Or a stake with that blue energy on the front that deals extra damage.

What about a "universal" stake launcher? It could fire human made stakes and skrith stakes. I bet the humans want to make use of good alien tech.

yeah, that could be good! But still i rather human tech to alien, even if it does have better features, or firepower. Oh and by the way i think something like an old coach gun would be best.
