Railgun

[Captain Crazy]

Crossbow like weapon. Shoots a fast moving rod of metal that does 200 damage and penetrates through people and walls. Slight gravity effect. Not meant to be in a "balanced" deathmatch, but maybe as an "Ultimate" weapon. Slow reload.

Preferably a simple design, with a set of rails and a boxy transformer as the main design features. I think it'd be quite cool to impale blockheads with an electromagnetically-propulsed iron spike.

THAT'S NOT HOW RAILGUNS WORK

They fire a laser beam you forgettard

In real life they fire a big piece of metal, dumbo.

In Quake or whatever, maybe they do fire lasers.

Okay,it fires a rod that leaves behind a trail of plasma so it looks like a laser.

I agree,but it should be a vehicle and have a long ass reload

Mounted Railgun

yesss

 It's just a metal rod that is flung into the air using magnetic force. I heard it's like 10x faster than a bullet or so.

 It looks nothing like a laser.

A railgun is a cannon that is powered with electromagnets and capacitors. The capacitors are charged, and then a magnetic field is released through rails, making the projectile travel forward quickly. I believe the top speed is 7x the speed of sound if wikipedia doesn't lie to me. Leaving a trail of plasma and looking like a laser isn't what a railgun does. It would look more like nothing, seeing as it's going so fast.

no
it's like
what a 50 caliber magnum sniper rifle bullet would want to grow up to be
like
500x bullet speed

Alright let's stop arguing what a railgun IS and get to the point of the add-on itself. I could attempt a model but scripting is something sompletely different. We should also be sure that who-ever scripts this will look in the gun's script and see the speed of that bullet, then make a relative proportion of speed so that this rod will be impossible to dodge.

Pandan's currently making one but I still don't know when it's going to be out.

I was thinking for a vehicle like the Anti-Air turret,as a mobile one will be as overpowered as stuff looking at multiple enemy groups.AND it takes up the space in your inventory after firing due to the LONG ASS RELOAD.












besides,you can't carry 100 pounds of steel and face off a kickback of firing a rod at 7x the speed of sound.

In a video game you can. This game is anything but realistic. Why can't we?

Our weapons are made of plastic, silly.

Could someone make the Railgun from MGS4? :o

[A Higuy!!!]

I could make the model if i can get a good picture of one. :3
