Author Topic: Railgun  (Read 5740 times)

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.

I would make it almost impossible to dodge..

Railguns are actually the size of a football field, they fire a bullet the size of a handgun's bullet that is propelled my magnets and goes so fast that it heats up so much that it turns the front of the bullet into plasma.
And let's confirm what plasma is:

Plasma

Gas

Liquid

Solid

Actually, it does leave a trail of plasma, so it looks like your firing raw explosion at people. Wikipedia can actually vouch for this.

Anways, perhaps a raycast weapon, because there is a limit to how fast a bullet can travel without serious lag.

the forget are you talking about boy

railguns aren't the size of football fields, people can make their own railguns at home with the right materials

That isn't a true railgun.   What you're speaking is much smaller and far, far, less powerful, like a mag-gun.  Railguns come in all shapes and sizes, some more or less powerful than others.  The power of these weapons increases and decreases with size.

Now all of you need to stop thinking that you alone have the right definition, and work together.  It's no use if you can't agree what it is you're making.

I will, however, begin modeling one this afternoon

Well the IRL mechanics aren't that important, I guess

I just want a futuristic, spike launching, penetrating murderweapon.

Never mind, already posted.

gtfo this was my suggestion, heedi is working on it I presume.   :cookieMonster:

I would love to see something like a Stryker, but with a Railgun mounted on top, such as this-

High damage, slow reload speed. Be pretty cool.

It's ''Modern'' but you don't see them everywhere obviously, there are still prototypes. However the one I posted above is fully functional delivered to the US Navy.


I will be working on this first, as it is just pure awesome.

Maybe PM him and ask him to keep working on it/something?
I really want this.

Railgun. You can't dodge if you aim the freakin' huge turret right. They also have prototypes the size of a pistol.
