Never realized it was chambered in 10mm.

This is from Oblivion right? looks like a scout rifle out of Destiny. I like that.

energy weapons would have to overcome certain obstacles to get mass-produced for infantry.

1- Cost. This may be THE determining factor

2- Power. Current hand-held lazers can blind, but not kill

3- energy dissipation. lasers tend to fan out in a cone after a while, resulting in less energy put on-target.

4- armor penetration. This has to do with power, but simply put no one wants to stand there and focus a beam on something for half a minute.

5- logistics of energy storage/production. Something needs to hold that charge.


However, laser guns may have advantages for long-distance ships that have large amounts of power available, but to whom normal logistics lines cant work. That way, they always have energy instead of carrying around a bullet factory and having to find copper/steel for ammo and whatnot.

would be nice, till then though lead will do the job

Have you watched the movie? Gorman tells Riply they fire 10mm caseless.

>>32630458
Why does it have a main ejection port if its caseless ammo?

Energy weapons are the best.

You can literally vaporize an enemy with these and it has no recoil and doesn't need ammo.

It can also be used to stun only.

>>32633812
That makes sense, suppose it may also help cool the action a little too. I am now curious how a fail to fire can/would happen for caseless. Unless it just squib loads.

>>32633896
We just need a power source and an exotic particle to do the job.

>argent energy
Done. It even makes ballistic & explosive weapons better!

>>32633785
Prop was built on a Thompson submachine gun.

>>32630458
What the fuck is a magazine buffer?

>>32630458
So what exactly is the Pulse Rifle thing? It does shoot bullets. caseless rounds. The pulse is what replaces the firing pin? The pulse is merely electrical charge?

one of the most fun guns to play with in KZSF

Just too bad you have to deal with demons n shieet

"10mm explosive tipped armor piercing caseless, why?"

Just so you know. These really worked. Underneath it's an M14 with an integrated 870 pump.

Note the big lump of metal on the charging handle. M14/M1Garand action.

>>32640689
>>32640700
Not an M14/M1, but rather a Mini-14

>>32640717
Well spotted.
