Railgun

[Tony Sansony]

I am doing a Solo DM map based on the level in Quake III Q3DM6 (The Camping Grounds) and i need the railgun because no other gun is like it in blockland

A railgun is a run much like a sniper rifle, It is hydrulacally (sp?) powered and fires metal slugs at the speed of sound idk why thats desciption was nessecary
BUT after it fires it glows for one second and you fire again

the first pic is the railgun the second is how it fires

If it get made lots of  :cookie:s and  :cookieMonster:s

Doesn't a rail gun have a bullet that cuts straight through whatever it hits and keeps going?

Or is that a Gauss gun?

[Tony Sansony]

thats true

Railguns fire projectiles electromagnetically.

In science fiction and games, they are typically described as firing projectiles near the speed of light.  Although if you calculate the amount of energy involved, that becomes extremely impractical as if the projectile weighed even one gram, the recoil on the gun would cause you to exceed the escape velocity of earths gravitational pull and when the projectile hit it would be on the order of a nuclear explosion. 

At any rate, normal bullets routinely exceed the speed of sound so for a rail gun to be "cool" it has to be faster than that.

I haven't seen railguns in a game for a while now, then again I never used them because I prefer high-damage weapons/

thanks for correcting me badspot

I could make the projectile effect (I think) but it will require a way to give the projectile 2 trail emitters.

I don't know how to do that.

I'd like one of these, and possibly other Q3A/Quake II weapons.

BFG10k, anyone? Or just BFG9000?
