Vaskadar Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 (edited) The Triplica is a charged-shot corpus sidearm that unleashes a volatile explosive spheroid of plasma when fully charged, but will fire 3-shot bursts otherwise. Charging will cycle energy into the main firing chamber, and the externalized coils will glow white-hot as it reaches critical power. The charge can be held until ready to fire. The spheroid will use up five shots. The reloading mechanism is directly above the pistol's grip, and can be cycled very quickly, which makes up for its low magazine capacity of fifteen. (Keep in mind the sketch is 3.5cm in length) Primary Fire (Has travel time. Approx. twice the Dera speeds or Cestra speeds) 40 Electrical damage Crit Chance: 5.0% Crit Damage: 1.5x Status: 20% Primary Fire Rate: 6.7 Secondary Fire (Travel Time: Approx. Quanta Cube Initial Velocity, if a little faster) 200 Radiation (AOE) Crit Chance: 1.0% Crit Damage: 1.5x Status: 20% Charge Rate: 0.333 (For Full Charge) Ammo Consumption: 5 Magazine: 15 Reload Speed: 1.0s Accuracy: 100.0 (Zero spread, compensated by travel times) Edited January 23, 2015 by Vaskadar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petersheikah Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Awesome, i like both the concept and the picture. Also, I LOVE burst weapons, and there still isn't any corpus weapon with that trigger type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monsterwithin Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 (edited) Just a quick question about the charge, is like the opticor where you charge and fire's instantly or holds down like a ogris? Edit: Never mind. Edited January 14, 2015 by Monsterwithin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omni_Omega Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Is anyone getting a Megaman Zero buster vibe here? I am. And I love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paradoxbomb Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Well I do love burst fire weapons and explosive projectiles, so how can I say no to this? The design is also pretty nice to boot. Although with regards to the burst fire, I wouldn't mind seeing it with 100% accuracy seeing as (to my knowledge) no other burst-fire gun has done that yet, and much like the Dera the perfect accuracy would be offset by the travel time.

GTG3000 Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Would certainly like me another corpus pistol! Especially one with interesting mechanics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
painovoimaton Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Yes yes yes! Great concept, and also corpus enough. And it looks pretty cool too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MechaTails Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 (edited) I think the pipe will be a nuisance by covering the target you're aiming at, but I like the funny datamass shape it has lol Regarding bullet travel time The reason travel time is bearable on the Dera/Cestra/Supra is because they fire so many bullets that missing a few doesn't matter, especially because the enemies have ESP and dodge your shots Matrix-style. I can't imagine ever liking a Cestra that only fires 3 or 5 shots before needing to reload. This kind of weapon needs to have waaaay faster bullets so it isn't infuriating to use. I do like a little travel time on weapons, especially if the bullets look cool, but almost hit-scan levels of speed are needed in this case.

MechaTails Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 (edited) I did a quick mashup: It looks like your design would use more Glaxion-like parts, but I couldn't find a high-res Glaxion image Edited January 22, 2015 by DarkTails Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArXinity Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 It's like a ballistica without recoil, with better damage type and with a charged shot similar to quanta's secondary fire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
