I've come up with some new ideas for weapons. I think they're good. I'd like to have Corsche look at them, and possibly come up with some initial working designs. I then intend to either sell or give production rights to a company on planet. I think this is a good idea, as even giving them away would benefit us by way of the planetary economy. Here are my ideas.
-The Wraith-
The Wraith will be two barrels integrated into one rifle. The upper barrel will fire a large explosive grenade-like round, and the lower a medium-caliber Patriot round. The rifle will be fitted with a scope, the housing of which integrates a video camera, fire-control system, and a laser rangefinder. Both barrels will be fired by way of tiny, independent reverse gravity generators sharing a common power system, similar to what the Patriot rifle employs. The use of the fire-control system will allow the user to adjust a variety of variables for the explosive rounds, and the rate of fire of the rifle barrel. The ammunition for the upper barrel could come in a variety, and would have programmable nanosensors controlled by the fire control computer.
-Concussion Rod-
The concussion rod is a weapon designed to leave quite a mark. In appearance, it looks like a primitive mace, however appearances are deceiving. Embedded in the head is an artificial gravity generator. On impact, the generator activates, increasing the mass of the mace and thus the force of the impact.
-Lightning Gun-
More like a heavy machine gun than the sniper rifle of video game fame, the Lightning Gun projects a ray of crackling electricity which can be swept over the battlefield before it. It will likely be bulky and unwieldy, and thus a tripod or fixed mount will be likely. Particularly deadly in fixed defensive emplacements where it can be fed directly from the power grid.
-Sleep Pistol-
The sleep pistol would fire frozen spheres of the drug Somnall. The sphere is fired a limited range whereupon it explodes scattering a fine mist capable of knocking all but the most resiliant creatures unconscious.
-Throwback Rifle-
This nonlethal weapon is intended for use in crowd control situations. It uses gravitic induction to produce a high intensity repulsion blast, knocking the target back a good distance.
-Induction Inversion Gun-
This is basically an energy weapon that fires an inversion beam. Rather than dealing damage, the weapon cancels out the energy of a targeted mechanical object's power source.
While some of these may be in production, there are likely some ideas here that are not (the Wraith rifle for instance) and I believe we can profit from them.
