I think at some point in Imperial history, Magnetic weapons were common place. Though they might have fell out of favor to the easy logistics of the Lasgun.
How would you stat an Archeotech Magrifle for Dark Heresy?
What else do you think is a lost weapon of the imperium, chilling out in a STC fragment?
I like to imagine that in the deep, dank depths of Mars where no soul has been for tens of thousands of years you can find a bunch of AK-47s, if only for meme reasons.

I'd base the stats on the bolter but remove the Tearing. Maybe allow a wide variety of exotic ammunition.

Whats stopping us exactly?
Jace Lopez
So something like
MagRifle Range 100m; S/3/-; 1d10+5 X; Pen 4; Clip 24; Reload 1 Full; Two handed; Special
Special: Mag-gun OverCoil Shot: This mode adds +2 damage, and doubles penetration and gains Felling (2). However it reduces it to single fire ( s/-/- ) and adds both Unreliable, and Overheats qualities.

The Adeptus Mechanicus has recovered this from an STC fragment.
Wait until the magos has tries to boot up the STC.
Lucas Foster
Sounds good. Maybe add some more damage because DaoT tech.
Thomas Collins
i figure that stat block would be a modern replication. An actual preserved relic would be much stronger.
perhaps 1d10+8 R
Now what kind of exotic ammo would it have?
I'm thinking explosive rounds, and a shotgun-esk round.
Easton Barnes
Explosive rounds. Armor Piercing. Incendiary. Stuff like that.

Warframe takes place in the early years of the imperium of man. long before the age of the emperor.

The second edition wargear book had rules for a web pistol and heavy webber. I always liked the idea of those.
Blake Rodriguez
I've always been fascinated by ferrofluids and non-newtonian fluids, but they're impractical at best.
Would it work to have non-newtonian ferrofluid ammo for a gauss gun?

I know 40k fans like to try and include other settings by going "wouldn't it be cool if this were the early Imperium?" but in this instance it's probably one of the least believable attempts you could make.
We don't even know when Warframe happens. It might honestly take place in a chronological period *after* 40k.

No, they're way shittier than that. And both dumber and smarter.
Bitch bag tea commonly uses tea dust rather than tea leaves, the quality is inherently lower than lose leaf tea steeped in a strainer. If I need to explain why you are an idiot. Dumbshit Even if it's whole leaf tea IN a tea bag the tea bag the bag constricts the leaf from unfolding and it releases less of the essential oils you uneducated thunder fuck. Do a rudimentary Google search before you start blasting people for knowing what quality tea is you semen guzzling gutter slut.

Charles Cruz
Wellll.. to be fair, it could have been a sachet for loose leaf and have plenty of space to drain if the oil is such a concern. A lot of tea bags these days are CTC and not dust. I should note that teas steeped for too long have been found to start leeching heavy metals into the drink.
Joseph Sanchez
So we're going to take a look inside this thing and show you how it works, cause I think it's honestly....pretty damn cool.
Ok, disassembly is pretty easy. Just these two pins you push in. I soothed the machine spirit with some oils and incense before filming so we should be ok to just pop this guy open. So you can see the bolt here with these two rollerblocks. What these do is....

Technically there are mag weapons available. in the Rouge Trader Hostile Acquisitions splat book there is an upgrade for Solid projectile weapons called a "Maglev Impeller" which has the following description:
Thanks to technologies no longer commonplace on such small devices, these projectile weapons are not reliant on the chemical reactions that normally propel bullets and shells, instead using powerful magnetic fields to hurl projectiles at great speed. The Adeptus Mechanicus Magos of the Lathes are scornful of those who attempt to create such weapons without the guidance of STC designs, condemning these arti cers as hereteks and con scating the devices they create. However, certain agents of the Disciples of Thule eagerly seek out these items, uncaring that their actions contradict their nominal superiors. This upgrade increases the range of the weapon by +10 metres, and adds +1 to the weapon’s damage. However, due to the weapon’s power consumption, it requires a charge pack that must be frequently replaced, adding an additional Full Action to the weapon’s reload time. Upgrades: Any Solid Projectile weapon.
So it seems like it's basically an add on for stubbers, autoguns, etc that turns it into a very very light railgun with hardly any increase in power or range, but then again charge packs are used instead of ammo which I guess means any right sized object will work.
But yeah if they have small devices that can turn autoguns into "railguns" why don't they just up the ante and make real Manly Man Mech railguns
Zachary Watson
I reiterate; all is lost
Tyler James
Found it. It's incomplete. I had only finished up Corpus (at the time).
With all the updates the game has had in the meantime it's probably very outdated. Still I might go back to it at some point. Feel free to tell me where it's shit and where it isn't from a stats perspective.
I know I used a lot of special properties (aside from Tesla, which I just lifted from one of the expansions in Deathwatch)
Ian Wright
That seems...really weak.
Joseph Edwards
40k has a lot of guns that aren't even forgotten; it's just their shitty classification system.
Charles Brooks
I mean it seems cool as quick upgrade for SP weapons but it just seems so absolutely underwhelming, but its disappointing that that's the best the Ad Mech has when it comes to magnetic weapons
Honesty I do like the idea of the maglev impeller but it would be way cooler if it could be beefed up. Granted it'd need to have drawbacks to counter it's strengths. An ideal version of the device would be same concept, basically snap on/quick instal weapon mod that turns an autogun/stubber/shotgun into lite railgun, but it has adjustable settings. the lowest and base setting gives the +1 to damage and 10 to range but it should give the weapon the reliable quality and maybe accurate quality.
Next setting would be tuning up the power. It would add +4 to the weapon damage and +2 to pen with +25 on range (maybe less or more). However the weapon would need to would have to be limited to single fire in order to not melt/distort the barrel or the weapon could retain it's original fire rate of s/2/5 or whatever it is if the PC gets a very/extremely rare item "Ceramite barrel and reciever (or whatever)" but it also needs to pass very hard tech test to install parts. Also weapon gains accurate quality cause that shot is gonna fly dead aim
Matthew Wilson
New Maglev Impeller modified Weapon Rules (2/2)
Final setting would be max power/overcharge which is dependent on charge packs being used to supply charge. With standard las gun charge pack, most SP weapons would get no more than four shots, with backpack charge packs or lascannon charge packs the SP weapons could get like 10 shots. As a result the weapon would get +4 damage and an extra 1d10 and +5 pen, but weapons RoF becomes s/-/- and weapon must be braced or fired with bulging muscles due to severe recoil/lack of proper recoil measures. Equally weapon gets unreliable quality due to energy strain, accurate quality. Also while weapon has RoF of s/-/- it is advised that after it fires the PC waits 1 round of combat before firing again due to strain on weapon. It can be fired combat round after combat round but if fired 3 times within 4 rounds of combat the player should roll to a d10 with an odd causing the weapon's barrel to critically deform/melt due to extreme pressure of the maglev impeller. Makes sense since the device is being attached to SP weapons meant to fire projectiles under far far less stress. of course there can be Extremely rare replacement parts that null some of the drawbacks but should require a punishing/hellish tech test to install
Josiah Lopez
And if the player were to fire the weapon on max setting 3 times within 4 rounds and rolls the d10 after the 3rd shot and gets an odd for weapon strain, if they have a standard matching autogun/stubber barrel in inventory which should be 1/5 WT of original weapon they should be able to perform a full action/half w/ rapid reload or skills in tech use and armorer to replace deformed/melted/warped barrel.
The cool part about this is that a player can create a very versatile/customized SP weapon. certain special ammo could be used like incendiary or explosive, but others like dumdum and manstopper would be counted as regular on settings higher than base/lowest power. Imagine a PC lugging a heavy stubber that can be used to lay down suppressing fire, and then if a bigger enemy shows up, the PC takes a half action to alter the maglev impeller setting and its on medium packing harder punches now, and say a demon is summoned, PC once again cranks up the juice to max and now he is really shooting that demon.
Also Medium power should maybe give the weapon concussive quality and max power should definitely give the weapon concussive quality, maybe blast quality?
Best part about the maglev impeller with these new rules? These buffs can be applied to an autocannon since thats an SP weapon.
Also there should be extra benefits/effects for the weapon depending on it's type. shotguns that aren't using slugs will need to have special rules, perhaps its an automatic bonus for the scatter test/
Equally weapons firing on full auto on low power should have bonus to follow up shots hitting since the weapon would be quicker/more accurate to fire.
