Energy weapon ideas

[Bots]

So i dont know how to label this but heres a bunch of ideas.

Rn Eguns like distruptors use the same amount of power for  lethal and non-lethal modes. This does not make sense. You DONT want to dump "lethal" amount of power into your target. So non-lethal modes should have more shots.

Lasgun modes.

High focus: low damage and higher organ damage, high AP;

Mid focus: mid damage, mid AP;

Low focus: high damage and pain, no AP

 

Changing the combat laser rifle with: buffing normal mode damage to 40, reducing normal AP to 10. Keep the AP mode with 20 damage and 50 AP.

Laser shotgun: add a second firemode that's called focused, effectivelly a laser SLUG. 60 fire damage, 30 AP, 15 shots.

 

Nerf X-ray rifle because its TOO GOOD.

15 damage, 50 AP, 40 shots.

costs 12 TC and has SO MANY MORE SHOTS THAN OTHER LASGUNS.

And despite being X-ray laser rifle it doesn't cause radiation, according to wiki.

 

Laser pistols. Yes. Laser Pistols. It should be an alternative as a lethal pistol compared to the .45 pistol.

 

 

Blaster ammo. Switchable ammo cartridges. Heavy gas for AP, medium gas for body harm, light gas for bremsstrahlung EMP/radiation effects. Exotic gas for special effects.

 

Ion pistol. Yes Ion pistol.

Ion rifle firemode: low power EMP. A very targeted low splash/power EMP that doubles the shots you have.

 

Energy rifle for security. Either 1 E rifle+2 las rifles or 1 las rifle 1 E rifle. Because laser rifle is ONLY LETHAL and there is no other longarm energy non-lethal.

 

Particle shotgun. Shoots a lot of particles(brute) that act as buckshot. Only needs energy to shoot. Thanks to the bore mag-choke the patricles all hit in a 3"(7.62cm) diameter circle untill 312 meters away aka all damage hits selected limb.

 

Automatic fire mode for the laser weapons. OR dual pulse fire. Double cooldown, double shot per click.

Switchable power cells and/or power magazines.

Igniting people with laser guns.

Igniting cigarettes with laser guns.

Using the lasgun as a laser pointer.

 

Stealth laser weapons. Hear me out infra-red laser rifle(you cant see beams unless some species) that doesn't play a sound/notification when it fires.

 

Laser welding tool. A rare alternative to the common fuel welder. Surprisingly safe for eyes.
