Of all the things in the game that are problematic you fixate on fluff like that?

Plasma rounds are alloys that are put in a plasma form, then put around a shell if I remember correctly. So yes, Plasma Rifle.


Peace, Godin

It's always bothered me that the Assault rifles show no sign of having anything to do with Plasma. Currently the Assault rifle is a typical magazine fed projectile weapon. Plasma is created by the ionization of gases and thus has no actual shape or volume, although you can manipulate plasma by a magnetic field to change its to be like a beam sort of. Due to how plasma is heated gas it means that once fired it will disperse quickly in the atmosphere. We could also use plasma and apply it to a projectile by giving the projectile itself a magnetic field and thus plasma will follow, but we would still need a way of generating said plasma. So currently our "Plasma rifle" shows no sign of any relation to firing plasma and/or manipulating plasma in any way, it also shoots projectiles thus our Assault rifle is not a Plasma rifle.

VIRGIN ALERT!

You can put plasma within a casing, and since it is a gas super compress it. But that means that its still a projectile weapon but the projectile itself releases plasma on impact.

CCP can't negate LAV(s) running people over, let alone quantum physics. Enough said.

Quantum physics is studying physics at the macroscopic level, like photons, and hell Quantum physics is more of a question mark than actual theory and laws.

Quite the contrary, theres been a lot proven with Quantum Physics through the use of particle accelerators. The only 'question mark' is Theoretical PHysics like Quantum Chromodynamics which is basically how quarks work with gauge bosons.

So then thenby your logic, Flaylocks, Swarm Launchers are not explosive. Theyre just explosives released from a projectile casing.

Logic.

The funny thing is, is that the Gallente AR is a plasma based weapon. Where did you get the idea that it is a projectile based weapon? Every DEV blog that has come out only has reaffirmed the reality (within the DUST of course, and the universe that is EVE and that is 25,000 years ahead of our current timeline) that the Shotgun, the plasma launcher, the AR were all plasma based weapons utilizing a magnetic field to induce the projection of the plasma from the weapon to the target.

I would suggest to take a few moments and reread what it is that you think are your sources that cradle this assumption of yours.

Gallente Shotgun = Blaster

Caldari AR= Railgun

These are Hybrid weapons. They are both a projectile and an energy weapon.

*sigh* WarRavens. . .

Then why does the assault rifle sound like its shooting bullets, some slight ballistics, and doesn't shoot "lighting". According to you it should be firing plasma, which it isnt.

I was referring to wave-particle duality, string theory, and the theory of everything etc.

and don't forget that pesky higgs boson!

The gallente assault rifle is not a projectile weapon. Why? Very simple cause you dont see empty rounds getting thrown out on the right side like with the minmatar SMG. Another thing is you only put the new magazine in and the gun is ready to fire without doing the final part of reloading where the round is getting loaded into the firing chamber.
