She inspected the gun. It was a pressurized shotgun with six slanted choke tubes arranged radially. Each tube was lined with a magnetizing agent that helped keep its shots in line when they exited the barrels, making for longer range. The clips were twofold, one capsule of supercompressed gas and another capsule holding the ammunition. The magnetizing agent would only work on tiny metal pellets, but in Draea's view, that kind of ammo shouldn't have torn up the side of the Angel's throat like it had. Not unless the pellets had special, non-standard features.

"This ammo you have," she said to Yorlas, "Change-state, by any chance?"

He nodded.

"Activation on high-speed contact?"

Yorlas nodded again. "With skin," he said, and handed her a clip from his belt.

She inspected it, then gripped both ends tight and pushed in. She felt the internal safety dislodge, and one end of the clip became loose. She reached for one of the dead man's hands and pulled it close, removed the clip top and poured a handful of ammo into his cooling palm. They were little spherical pellets, and as soon as they touched his skin, several tiny, angled blades shot out from their surface, the blades curved in on the centre like the slanted path of a meteor falling to earth.

"And when they go into someone's skin?" she asked Yorlas.

"They spin," he said. "Work through his veins. Make a mess."

"So you could hit anyone anywhere on their body with this, and..."

"And the orbs will go in, make their way through the bloodstream and pulp everything they touch," Polok said, walking up to them. "Just one gets into you and you're in trouble. Close to an artery and you're dead, but even if it's just in your toes, they'll still cause pain so agonizing it'll drop you on the spot."

He picked up one of the silver pellets lying on top of the victim's palm, and looked at its blades. "These are regular issue. They got heat-seeking ones as well. Bronze-colored, I think. Nasty little things."

Plasma Rifle - points at Gallente AR.

I thought so at first too but the Gallente Assault Rifle doesn't really -feel- like Plasma weaponry.. Further, it's got some pretty ridiculous range for a "close range" weapon.

I like the Foambomb :) Would love to "freeze" people in place. Also an EMP burst that disables energy based weapons for like 2-3 seconds would be awesome.

The execution of Anvent Eturrer

After the capture of Anvent Eturrer, Foiritan led the rally where he was executed on Gallente Prime, having made sure he was sufficiently distant from Eturrer to avoid being associated with him. Foiritan gave a fiery speech about Eturrer's betrayal and the temporary loss of freedoms the Federation had and would suffer in an effort to continue rooting out traitors to the cause. He listed the crimes Eturrer had committed, then spoke of Mentas Blaque and his Black Eagles. He added that a trial had been held in Eturrer's absence and the evidence was so overwhelming that Eturrer's testimony was not needed; and all the while, the assembled crowd of millions cheered vehemently along with Foiritan's words. He offered Eturrer a chance to speak, and for a brief moment, the two exchanged a silent moment of understanding. The Admiral then dropped the microphone with a grin, refraining from speaking. Foiritan subsequently asked the crowd to assist with the execution, revealing Eturrer had been injected with a chemical that responded to sound. At his command, the crowd broke into a cacophony of screams, causing Eturrer to be gruesomely executed.

I'd like to see weapons that actually shoot out to a decent range. I mean seriously eve is is supposed to be set in the future yet the basic assault rifle can't even shoot out to decent ranges, yet today's modern assault rifles have a effective range generally around 300 m. And iron sights??? I've been on 4 operation deployments with the Army and not once have I used a weapon without some sort of custom scope on it either being a 4x ACOG or EOTEC. I think these need to be added as custom modifications to each weapons, and would bring a whole new ball game in to it.
