Brynslustafir Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 (edited) Railguns don't shoot lasers. They shoot pieces of ferromagnetic metal at high speeds via powerful electromagnets. Edited April 23, 2014 by Plasmaface Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tengu-musume Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 So Lanka? Maybe hitscan Lanka that leaves a trail. LIke a gauss gun from S.T.A.L.K.E.R. I'm guessing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brynslustafir Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 So Lanka? Lanka shots aren't even nearly fast enough for Lanka to be a railgun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archistopheles Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 This is not a new gun idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkjackal_2031 Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Shouldn't this be under the "Weapons" category? Anyway, a railgun is not exactly a new idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evariskitsune Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 (edited) So Lanka? The Lanka is not a railgun https://forums.warframe.com/index.php?/topic/208845-railgun-weapon-concept/ Thank you for sharing my thread which also explains why my weapon is not a railgun. Also to the OP, please read my thread. Maybe hitscan Lanka that leaves a trail. LIke a gauss gun from S.T.A.L.K.E.R. I'm guessing. Again, the Lanka is not a railgun. It's a gauss rifle AKA a coil gun. Which is different functionally from a railgun, they use two different methods of propulsion. It's as big a difference as a crossbow to a rifle.

That may be true but how is it functionally (within the game) different? Since the propulsion method is in actuality non existent you know numbers and whatnot.

Evariskitsune Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 (edited) That may be true but how is it functionally (within the game) different? Since the propulsion method is in actuality non existent you know numbers and whatnot. A railgun fires a hypersonic solid projectile leaving superheated gasses in it's wake, thus it leaves a trail behind it and should result in a slightly slower (but still hypersonic) compression wave of air hitting just behind the penetrating projectile, resulting in an explosion-like affect to what is hit. Also due to it's speed, it would be extremely loud. Given it's speed (Mach 10+ optimal) , in all practicality it should be hitscan. The lanka fires a subsonic plasma-based projectile that is silent that does not have the above abilities. It does not deal puncture, heat, or blast damage. It's also not hitscan thanks to it's subsonic nature. Edited April 24, 2014 by Evariskitsune Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freelancer27 Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 (edited) My thought of the Railgun design should revolve around how Railgun MOAs normally do: They charge a certain amount of time to fire a hit-scan bullet that leaves a (virtually harmless) laser trail behind while piercing a long line of enemies and/or obstacles. Follow this baseline and this idea is probably the one of the oldest ones. Edited April 24, 2014 by Freelancer27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
