>>5217520I dunno anon, this is a lot of claims about accelerators that it does make me wonder why it wasn't done in 40k. I can't even recall if any race has succesfully miniaturized accelerator cannons to infantry scale, and such large cannon weapons were reserved for elite forces like Custodes, Primaris Heavy Tanks and Tau battlesuits.
As far as I can tell, the closest thing in 40k to handheld accelerator weapon is the necron Tachyon Arrow, but that's like comparing a promethium thrower to a candle. Its so complex it can't be reloaded in a battle.
I guess you could call Shurikens that kinda. Actually yeah Shuriken weapons would basically be what you describe only using metal instead of crystal and gravitic pulses to send sharp slivers of it down range at speed. And they are quite effective, if not the most armour piercing.
Could Talos do it if he put his mind to it though? Make a handheld accelerator that's viable? I believe so, but how it functions and cost compared to bolsters and las is up to QM.
Personally I'd rather go for quality than cheap. We've made a Mini-Mars and we haven't even connected with the Imperium at large, I think our resource capability will be quite amazing one day. And there's nothing more quality than pure disintegration and beam guns.
>>5217521Yeah, we can definitely use them as a model and that's a great idea.
Guys lets shift the conversation from more future projecting and onto the topic of psykers. It seems we'll be putting them to sleep. Should we do any other countermeasures? Should this be a temporary measure until we get more info from Mars?
Let's put our minds into the now.
