Ok, I am awake and I see my opinion would be desired. As has been said, not going to bother about balancing anymore, others can timeloop over that; ill just stick to writing my shit and helping others when they want me too.
>I had some similar ideas for a rifle/musket. It would use a chuubanite rod as the propellant, with each rod giving you like, 8 shots. The gun would save you time in reloading, allowing for a little bit faster firerate. That, and it would probably also be a bit more silent, cause less visual obstruction when firing, and it would work in wet environments since chuubanite reacts just as well wet or dry, unlike gunpowder.>The downsides would have been obviously expenses, but also the projectile having less velocity and thus the gun would have lower effective range, be slightly less accurate, and the projectile would have less chances of penetrating bodyarmor.>The weapon would have fit great against fighting masses of unarmored enemies in close quarters though, and that would have been what it was designed to do, quell local schizo rebellions in /infinity/.Nothing wrong with this, infact it reminds me of the Girardoni Air Rifle

See everyone whenever I am needed again or loreposting (not today). Take care, call me if you want me.
