Copyright extends to advertising only, really. For example, DC can't call a Captain Marvel book Captain Marvel, because Marvel is a copyright of Marvel. Hence, they call it Shazam!. If it were true the way you imply, then no one could even say the words "plasma rifle" without being in violation. That said, the term plasma rifle is used in plenty of sources outside of Games Workshop. Star Trek, for example, is the first and easiest one I can think of.

Agreed, unless it has a 400% headshot multiplier for 'scrambling brains' or whatever the ScP does now, then the weapon should be called a Pulse Laser Rifle.

A heating, charged weapon fits much more thematically with Amarr than it does Gallente. As far as the CR is concerned, isn't that it's name? The AR is crying out for a name change because all rifles are assault rifles. >> Play Dust 514 FREE! Sign up for exclusive gear today! <<

Talos Alomar Subdreddit Test Alliance Please Ignore 2259	Posted - 2014.05.08 23:06:00 - [28] - Quote About the scrambler rifle - It isn't a laser weapon. It fires a laser induced plasma channel. What else is described as a plasma channel? Lightning. It's a f**king lighting gun. Repeat - It shoots LIGHTNING BOLTS. That's way cooler than being a "pulse laser rifle" . MAke it shoot lightning and call it a Lightning Rifle. Though I have grown rather fond of the name Scrambler. Everything with the name Scrambler should have a headshot bonus, though. Another plus of making the Scrambler weapons fire holy bolts of the wrath from the gods is that there could be a pulse variant of the LR with higher damage with shorter ranges. The CR is hard to name. Being accurate gives us boring names. We could call it the Autorifle, but that might step on the toes of naming something the Autocannon. If the lore of the gun is switched up a bit it could be called the Flechette Rifle. I do think the Rail Rifle's name might need to be changed too. I like the sound of Gauss rifle, and call the Sniper rifle a rail cannon or something along those lines. Sniper rifle is a boring name. dent308: humans are filthy crazy things that shit in their own homes

I vote that all Minmatar small arms use something like the Metal Storm electrically-fired stacked projectile system, which we'll call Shredders. Shredder Rifle, Compact Shredder (to replace the SMG in form while retaining it's function), and Shredder Pistol, for instance. The Typhoon from Crysis 3 is one example of this sort of technology being implemented in a game. A promo video for the Typhoon so you can see what I mean. We don't want these to be so devastatingly OP, however, so I suggest using fewer barrels and focus on dizzyingly high rate of fire with low damage per bullet and a small magazine size.

Here's a list of ideas: 1. Rust Buster. Why? Because if it isn't rusted and held together by equal parts duct tape and WD-40 then it isn't Minmatar. 2. Scrap Cannon. Because it is most definitely made out of scrap...all of it. 3. I.C.B.I.A.F. Acronym for "I Can't Believe It Actually Fired" because lets face it...if it is Minmatar and it works, everyone is shocked. 4 P.D.B.U.I.M.H. Acronym for "Please Don't Blow Up In My Hands" because you know that is the first thought of everyone who picks one up. Also I would like to note that I am not anti-Minmatar...except for when they steal my ****.

There is no real comparison to those name in term to what the thing is supposed to do like there is with Assault Rifle but then there is the Assault Rail/Combat/Scrambler. Handheld Autocannon for the Heavy Machine Gun though.... man is that awesome. Auto Rifle fits EVE but let's take the person "that don't know nothin' about no EVE." If I were one of those people, I would look at my freshly gotten Auto Rifle and go "why the hell is this a burst first weapon and not automatic like the name says?!" Combat Rifle does need to go just like Assault Rifle should go but I don't believe Auto to be the best bet. Does this mean that the Sniper Rifle is also due for a name change? Like Assault Rifle, Sniper Rifle is a blanket term. "This is B.S! This is B.S! I paid money! Cash money, dollars money, cash money!"

Joseph Ridgeson WarRavens Final Resolution. 1780	Posted - 2014.05.10 16:28:00 - [53] - Quote Ballistic Rifle. Watching the "Graphics of DUST 514" video (again, entirely about Legion grumbles) when showing a picture of the Precision Rifle CCP Android states "when it comes to the ballistic Precision Rifle, which is a Sniper Rifle." So Minmatar assault rifle is Ballistic Rifle and sniper rifle is the Precision Rifle. Caldari Sniper Rifle could be Bolt Rifle so something of the like. "This is B.S! This is B.S! I paid money!

That way it sets up a theme for the Minmatar guns (SMG, LMG, and HMG, for the S, L, and H sizes.) Or Chemical Rifle, since it uses a chemical propellant instead of magnets. I thought about something like this too. I was thinking something like, Chem Rifle (still CR see?) One of the problems that I see with the Chem/Chemical Rifle is that it sounds like some kind of chemical warfare weapon. Not something that shoots bullets. Chemical Propellant Rifle 'CPR' (haha) Compressed Gas Rifle 'CGR' or 'Cougar' (do Minmatar even use names like that?) I think that the Rail Rifle is just fine, personally, but I think I am in the minority there. I was thinking about the Sniper Rifles though, they could do something like, Caldari Sniper Rifle Amarr Sniper Rifle Minmatar Sniper Rifle Gallente Sniper Rifle Not very exotic names perhaps, but they would work, and they would save a lot of confusion. P.S. If any Devs read this, could you definitively say whether the Combat Rifle is/will be chemical propellant or gas?

And yes, Assault Rifle -> Plasma Rifle is on the list. Ideas for Combat Rifle are welcome btw. I vote that all Minmatar small arms use something like the Metal Storm electrically-fired stacked projectile system, which we'll call Shredders. Shredder Rifle, Compact Shredder (to replace the SMG in form while retaining it's function), and Shredder Pistol, for instance. The Typhoon from Crysis 3 is one example of this sort of technology being implemented in a game. A promo video for the Typhoon so you can see what I mean. We don't want these to be so devastatingly OP, however, so I suggest using fewer barrels and focus on dizzyingly high rate of fire with low damage per bullet and a small magazine size. Interesting take on the weapon I always wondered how could design a front line weapon for it as it is currently servicing such weapons as rifles is practically feasibly impossible. maybe a pistol version but definitely not rifles which requires replacing whole barrels. usually. Why would that be much different from replacing a magazine, functionally speaking? Considering that the barrel is the magazine in this instance, after all. Barrels are an integral structural part of most guns though and are not that highly interchangeable even on weapons back in the day that had them interchangeable they were not exactly combat swappable as a magazine would be. If they're not soundly you get barrel whipping and other mal-performances from jamming receiver flaking and many others as the vibration sets in; but this is sci fi so its supposively 'solved' problem. Overall the typhoon while it may seem to have a high rate of fire doesn't seem to do lots of damage due to the small caliber used. Also range would be an issue and varying range performance as well. Also too many people want the stack fire weapon for the rate of fire not the other reason which is streamlining. The case of going the other direction is replacing the multi tube rocket launchers on aircraft with a single tube as one tube will handle all of it. Saves weight and possibly costs as the system is more simplified and not much different than before.

Not completely true. Fully automatic fire creates massive amounts of heat in the gun, so being able to quickly change the barrel to one that isn't about to melt has been a huge focus in the design of Machine Guns such as the M240. So the fact that modern rifles don't have quick change barrels like that is not because they can't, but because generally they don't need to. dent308: humans are filthy crazy things that shit in their own homes
