Engineer101 Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 i love the sound of the sniper rifle on halo, but on tribes its like zing. and it gives me headaches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bone1970 Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 With Projectles you can deliver many things like HE, ect but also energy so projectles are better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eRRoRz Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 What, better for killing? no Better if they are used for diffence! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Engineer101 Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 i dont remember. Some bullets can go through walls and anything like concrete, Can energy weapons produce the same thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maverick Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 large caliber weapons that blow things up, GOOD ray guns, ahhhh, well.....not really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Relentless Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 Energy Weapons are superior in damage unless against the borg. Of course; with given circumstances it all depends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trekfreak04 Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 The only drawback to projectile weapons is the reloading aspect, but I think they still rock!!! Carlos Hathcock, Da Man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eRRoRz Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 Well, energy weapon overheat. And once drained, need reload... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trekfreak04 Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 Well' date=' energy weapon overheat. And once drained, need reload...[/quote'] True, but energy cells usually produce more shots than, lets say a thirty round magazine. If they had weapons like the one in The Fifth Element that could regenerate ammo for up to 3000 rounds, I'd be all over that gun like butter on a biscuit. I guess what I'm really trying to get at is: How many rounds you can go before reloading? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trekfreak04 Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 I never even thought about it until now, but SG-1 is using a combination of a P-90 with an energy pulse weapon designed for use on Anubis' Super Soldiers. That would create more of a tactical advantage by combining the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maverick Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 man that is COOOL B) i could be like totally evil with that weapon. shoot em in the knees so they cant walk, then turn the laser gun settting right down and roast em. invite some mates round and have a few lagers. good night in front of the fire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once you start talking about the density of energy storage and/or the mass of ammunition, needle guns start to look really nice! Blades need occasional sharpening, but never reloading. And the brain always works better when fed and uploaded with new info, techniques, and creative approaches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relentless Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 Energy weapons for me are the thing although I should not want to run into the borg without a projectile or two , a rock or a piece of wood whatever lol.... Infact I wouldn't mind having that Thaeloron beam from ST Nemisis B) Beat that :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duggie Posted February 23, 2005 Author Share Posted February 23, 2005 Infact I wouldn't mind having that Thaeloron beam from ST Nemisis B) Beat that :P If I understood Nemisis the weapon was a biological one mixed with energy weapon. That kind of weapon will kick all the others butts hands down. I should have thought about this when I started this thread then I would have had three choices for you all.

96611 Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 Taking a very down to earth, pratical viewpoint and looking at real technology I would have to say that there is little room for energy weapons to take over. Why? Because flinging high velocity pieces of metal around works. Its simple, reliable, cheap and relatively efficient energy input to damage wise. Energy weapons will only be useful where their speed of propagation is an advantage AND the bulk of the power generation systems can be justified. These limit them to little more than point defence weapons against artillery and missiles in a ground forces role. In space, energy weapons would be best, as projectiles are just too slow to have much hope at hitting at range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I know, there's little to no resistance! :stare: :stare: :stare: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
