Hawk-eye Occultus ARKOMBlNE 185	Posted - 2014.05.09 19:44:00 - [10] - Quote It is a coilgun, using magnets to accelerate projectiles to high speeds. Carl Friedrich Gauss came up with the whole idea, and his name was lent to the Gauss (magnetic flux) Thus, it is a gauss rifle. Plus, Wikipedia lists coilguns as gauss guns.

Railguns are completely different. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coilgun http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Railgun . .

This wouldn't really work. 1. It's technically not a gauss gun, but a railgun. 2. Gauss guns are usually relatively less powerful but fire more rapidly. 3. We already have a weapon named the Rail Rifle, and it's weaker than the Sniper Rifle. 4. Naming it the Gauss Rifle would downplay the sniping bit. I am become Legion, the destroyer of bunnies.

Turns out It's not actually a gauss gun as I had previously thought, but is really a railgun. Fetched the decription. "Using microscale railgun technology, the sniper rifle effectively weaponizes velocity, putting an inert round downrange in excess of 2,500m/s. The standard round is a 2-inch GÇÿbeehive' flechette, loaded automatically from a center-mount pack. The pack design eliminates user intervention and minimizes reload time while simultaneously allowing for future upgradeability; different ammunition configurations require nothing more than switching out the rifle's pack" The rail rifle is much less specific. "Part of Kaalakiota's Stahl line of weaponry, the rail rifle is a fast-firing precision weapon designed for field operations where penetrative power and range are paramount. Developed using the corporation's proprietary microscale technology, the rail rifle solves oversaturation issues endemic to sustained fire electromagnetic weaponry. However, it's greater range and power are offset by a smaller magazine capacity and lower rate of fire than similarly classified weapons. The foregrip design aids stabilization and remains cool to the touch even during prolonged discharge where the barrel can exceed mean operating temperatures. Featuring a reinforced subassembly and compact, heavy-barrel design, the rail rifle is the premier fully automatic microscale weapon available today." . .

CCP could possible use that design above for the missing caldari Honestly, that look could be used for the Caldari's Shot gun. Flechette gun. Something that would be CQC caldari style.

Thing is, I think that the Rail Rifle is also a Railgun. But since it doesn't explicitly state this in it's manufacturing info, i'm sure we could have some continuity change. . .
Dunce Masterson Savage Bullet 99	Posted - 2014.05.10 03:41:00 - [23] - Quote Blaster rifle........wtf the dam thing has no rifling neither does the sniper rifle or any of the rifles except the combat rifle. Assault Blaster would be excepted more by players that know a thing or two about real weapons. as for the others. Scrambler rifel - Pulse laser or Scrambler laser Laser rifle - Beam laser Combat rifle - Assault rifle Rail rifle - Assault Rail gun Sniper rifle- ##_ _ Rail gun seeing has the Magsec SMG resembles bullpup sub machine guns could you change the magazine to a long stick that's inserted above the barrel? for more realism I know it will require a small model and reload animation change. I don't even know why I bother.

It doesn't matter if it's technically inaccurate so long as it's easy to identify and sounds good. I am become Legion, the destroyer of bunnies.

It would be nice if they would categorize the weapons better in the legion market place by: Laser -heavy -light -side arm Hybrid -heavy -light -side arm projectile -heavy -light -side arm this would help new players make better informed choices without having to ask questions like witch weapons are hybrid ect. I don't even know why I bother.

Gauss Rifles are old tech though... then why do capsuleers use gauss turrets? Be gauss. That's why! The sniper rifle is referring to its role, not its tech. No reason all the racial rifles couldn't be called sniper rifles. Don't know why they really have to split them into separate weapon categories. THIS IS THE VOICE OF RÁN

No reason all the racial rifles couldn't be called sniper rifles. Don't know why they really have to split them into separate weapon categories. Because Sniper Rifles means the entire subset, not the individual rifles. Using Bolt Rifle instead of Sniper Rifle means Caldari Sniper Rifle. Using Precision Rifle (That's a thing) instead of Sniper Rifle means Minmatar SR. Weapon Set - Sniper Rifles Bolt Rifle Precision Rifle Some random Amarr Snipelazar Weapon Set - Assault Rifles Plasma Rifle Scrambler Rifle Rail Rifle Combat Rifle See? -After rereading, I'm not sure if I'm confirming your point or arguing it. I'm not sure what your point is?
