Weaponry
« on: May 31, 2009, 09:49:38 am »
I thought I had read up on this somewhere, but now that I look where I thought it would be? I'm not seeing it.

What I'm wondering is...what about old projectile-based weapons? Your everyday gun, basically? No mention of them, so obsolete? Or..could they still be produced, and adapted to work with what they're now up against? (shields, etc)

Had a few ideas, but I wanted to clear this up first before even trying with those.

Still floating around somewhere in space? Or a no-go nowadays?

Those are still out and about! I know the Pilots use them ( There's a thread recently where two pilots got shot )  ^_^

Well, they don't have magical plasma shields in Aedolis? But, the technology you give your character is whatever you can think of. P:

Wellllll, this is more or less anywhere, as of currently. And for other people. Basically-- if there's gonna be projectile weapons, they have to had been adapted to be useful against shielding in some way, right? Like armor piercing, just..energy piercing. or something.


EDIT: What I should ask is..are shields usually on a shipwide level, or a personal level? Depends on how small the tech is I guess-- if people can have shields.

Well, armour piercing is always useful. xD But really, the technology can be as advanced or as old school as you like.  P: I don't get what you're asking. The bullets in guns are... hunks of metal. I don't think the regular hand guns have been advanced further technologically wise, but other guns would be.

Specialty bullets, 'double-shot' deals that could hit the shield with some sort of separate shot (energy or something of the like) and allow the projectile to pass, etc~ That's all I'm working out, really!

Oo, that sounds neat. I don't see any sort of problem with it.

Oh look, an edit!

Some body armour the military has for combat might have a personal shield thingy. I'm no techno wiz, and I know nothing about guns, or... Armour... Anyway, i'm pretty sure that even dragons might be able to make their own... Magical... Shield... thing.
