[Fieldron Weapon Concept] Vorpa

[Aspari]

The Vorpa is a shotgun that uses uses magnetic propulsion to deliver a payload of hypercharged bolts that impale the target. The bolts shatter on impact dealing additional damage with the shrapnel. 

 

Weapon type: Shotgun

 

Base damage: 100 (5 bolts deal 20 damage)

 

Shrapnel damage: 5% of base damage per shard (5 shards per bolt = 25 shards total. 25 shards x 5 damage = 125 potential bonus damage)

 

Reload Speed: 3 seconds

 

Clip Size: 4 (shoots 5 bolts per round)

 

Accuracy: Nobody cares

 

Fire rate: 0.0

 

Charge Time: 1.0

 

Damage type: Physical impact

No, but it's an alright idea. just no

Maybe you can come up with an idea for the other two research types? .-. they only got two for Bio and Chem (as you may already know)

I did for Chem. It's called Solis. I'll come up with one for Bio.

Your shotgun design fits perfectly with what I had in mind.

As far as physics goes, this doesn't make much sense. Unless those bolts are explosive, they would impact with the same force regardless of the shatter effect. To be fair, projectile fragmentation typically causes larger wound tracts in unarmored targets. However, conventional ammunition (i.e bullets) tends to fragment on impact. This is especially true at rifle velocities. Therefore, comparatively speaking, those bolts have no special properties (as they are described).
