I need exotic sci-fi weapons

or conventional grenades?

>temporary true vacuum

I would not trust who ever sold that to you

Tachyon beam. Shoot someone, they've already died so you don't need to shoot them. However, it's single shot so you better not miss.

>Has it occurred to anyone that infantry scale nuclear bullets are kinda a waste? If you need to use that kind of force, you're probably better off bringing a tank.

Levels of technology here, maybe the only way to efficiently crack high end personal defences is with those bullets.

>"Well, at least MY weapon of universal destruction came with a warning label"

*pic unrelated x2

...

Sorry, It's late and I wasn't being clear.

Let me put it like this: There doesn't seem to be any way to survive a battlefield where this kind of force is being thrown around for any length of time without magic or so much ablative armor and heat sink you might as well stick it on treads and call it a tank. Infantry of any strip would just melt like ice on the sun just by being in the AO, nevermind getting shot at.

...

It could be a saturation thing, if you know a bunch of high tech combat robots are in a building its much easier to spray it with those kinds of bullets then actually go in and clear it out.

and take your name off you fuck

That just exasperates the problem of the battlefield being extremely hostile to infantry.

Also, that's exactly what a tank can do already. Failing that, air support.

And on that note, I need to sleep.

...

even then it's still cheaper to get a truck with a couple of mark-19 grenade launchers or equivalents and level the house, and when you do that you're less likely to get the flash-fires the boomers would generate.

no, I can see the boomers being the rich snipers weapon. Turning the body to pink mist and setting the scene on fire as well as obscuring evidence on the scene, frying harddrives and melting shit.

granted a CSI team with comparable tech advances will probably jump to a clear conclusion from particulates and radiation measurements. BUT the scene will be so heavily damaged that a lot of work would have to put into an investigation to even get started.

oooh, sauce and tech-specs please...

Hey now, estaban is a good guy.
But nah, the effects are contained by a reversed quantum-tunneling pulse, effectively resetting the true vac into its previous state after less than a microsecond.

>oooh, sauce and tech-specs please...
BLAME! and it's a Gravitational Beam Emitter. It doesn't really stop when fired.

The Enforcer:

A carbine with a ball-shaped battery magazine, has a short four-"barrel" design that has either 4 taser latches or 4 wireless latcher projectiles on it.

The weapon is basically a taser, but capable of transforming energy to other forms. Its basic form is bonebreaker, where the four latches hit the target in the limbs and break their bones with direct kinetic energy. Other modes include tissue breaker, neural shock and lethal takedown.

It has next to no recoil (the projectiles aim to latch, not penetrate) and has an automatic targeting system (for different modes). It is designed for close-quarters combat and police use, for quick takedown of dangerous targets.

The basic version (wired) has limited range (25 meters on average) but is relatively cheap to make. The militarized version (wireless latch with laser energy transmitter) is more expensive, but has a longer range (100 meters on average).

It's able to lock on to exposed skin or weak points in armor. It can also be used to take down weak structures.

W-wait. So this bomb splits and object into millions of pieces and scatters each piece into a different frame of time?

Holy shit, are they actually making a series?

Thrown javelins that have second-stage rockets and guide towards a target before turning into a shaped liquid brass projectile.

Or anything from the Hyperion Cantos series.

It's an anime in Knights of Sidonia. They're both from the same guy.

if you see flesh or steel in an improbable area, avoid that spot in the future

>sooo... we got this ancient alien teleportation tech... ANNND WE GOT LOADS AND LOADS OF ATOMIC WARHEADS WHAT DO?
>*muffled sounds of enemy spaceships exploding internally*

Perry Rhodan is pretty trashy, but they never pulled any punches during space battles.

>Because it's a rudimentary time displacement device with no built in computer to calculate entry and exit points for the wormhole, targets caught in the blast often wind up adrift in space.

Upcoming movie.

Tell me about perry rhodan.

Is it worth checking out?

So the problem gets fed up and goes away?

Not this user, but I only read the first few stories up until they reached Venus and discovered sentient life there, that was too much science fantasy for me

But I really liked the start, where Perry and his crew get their hands on ultratech and unite the world

Do you know a good place to read the bits that are english translated?

Cerebral Bore. A weapon for alien assassins designed to leave a message.

Vacuum Decay bomb. A doomsday device designed to cause vacuum metastability event. The bomb interacts with the quantum fields to reduce the Higgs field to a lower energy state. The resulting effect is a bubble where the particles that makes normal atoms become impossible or significantly changed from its previous form. The quantum bubble expands all across the universe at the speed of light destroying everything on its way on its way. The only regions that escape utter destruction are those that are beyond the observable universe as the bubble will never reach them due the accelerating expansion of the universe.

Memetic Basilisk.

You see it and you die wowee

Ice-nine Strangelet projectile. A strangelet coming into contact with a lump of ordinary matter could convert the ordinary matter to strange matter. One strangelet hits a nucleus, catalyzing its immediate conversion to strange matter. This liberates energy, producing a larger, more stable strangelet, which in turn hits another nucleus, catalyzing its conversion to strange matter. In the end, all the nuclei of all the atoms of the planet are converted, and the planet is reduced to a hot, large lump of strange matter.

Isn't that just shuriken weapons from W40k?

>Ice-nine is a fictional material that appears in Kurt Vonnegut's novel Cat's Cradle. Ice-nine is described as a polymorph of water which instead of melting at 0 °C (32 °F), melts at 45.8 °C (114.4 °F). When ice-nine comes into contact with liquid water below 45.8 °C (thus effectively becoming supercooled), it acts as a seed crystal and causes the solidification of the entire body of water, which quickly crystallizes as more ice-nine. As people are mostly water, ice-nine kills nearly instantly when ingested or brought into contact with soft tissues exposed to the bloodstream, such as the eyes or tongue.

Fart gun

That depends on the settings, doesn't it? If it's moving a day into the future to send things back a random vector into the past, that could be hella lethal. But if it's just run by a clock, sending people back 24 hours + some wiggle room isn't gonna leave them adrift in space, It'll leave them spliced into trees and buildings and shit.

>tech-specs

It's called a Gravitational Beam Emitter.

How it works is unknown, as BLAME! is one of those settings where mankind has lost touch with the mechanisms of their own tech.

At its lowest power settings, it punches straight through roughly 70km of whatever, though the beam can be bent by other GBE beams firing past it. The beam can probably go further in other environments - BLAME! takes place inside a labyrinthine megastructure roughly a little larger than Betelgeuse, so eventually the shot is gonna hit a specially shielded bulkhead or just expend its energy punching through kilometers of metal.

>generic CGI crap

Eh, would have wanted something closer to the comic.

All the english translations date back to the 70s, so Ebay's your best bet.

perrypedia.proc.org/wiki/Perry_Rhodan_englisch_(USA)

Also there's a german page that collected all the techical drawings produced for the series.

>At its lowest power settings, it punches straight through roughly 70km of whatever

Only time I remember them saying that, was when he fired a very charged shot. In the lowest charge it pops your had and punches through walls, but doesn't plow through miles of structure.

It started out as a kinda regular-ish space opera about some astronaut making himself dictator of Earth with the help of an alien ship he found stranded on the moon and went more and more space opera after an ancient alien entity made him and some of his crew immortal for laughs.

The Atlan-series set in the same universe is some pretty solid planetary romance about one of the aliens that was made immortal by the same entity and ended up being stranded on Earth somewhere shortly before stone age. The alien's story is that it sleeps a lot and selectively uplifts humanity until they can into space, so that it can bugger off again. It spends a lot of its waking time on kicking other stranded or invading aliens off its property and mating with ancient women.

I believe he means "exacerbates"

Personally, I see it as an intermediate between conventional and nuclear payloads for cruise/ballistic missiles.

For when you need to blow up 'just' a few blocks of Manhattan instead of the whole city. Or blast bomber formations entirely out of the sky from beyond visual range.

it may be, but thats actually how the guns work in Mass effect.

I think Shuriken weapons use more than flakes, it seems to be more like a Mass Effect 1 gun or a ferromagnetic rather than mysterious crystal version of Dark Eldar splinter weapons.

>small, grenade like device that creates a small, domed portal to the exact spot it is in in a paralell universe
>people can freely pass through the area, but because they were never meant to be in that dimension, and because they have a double in that dimension, it is incredibly difficult to move and is completely exhausting.
>if anyone is standing in the area when the portal collapses, they are shocked by the sudden close and often concussed or begin mild hemorrhaging

Literally ME1 weapons
>Weaponry in Mass Effect is based on mass accelerator technology. A weapon shaves a projectile the size of a sand grain from a dense block of metal. The projectile is launched at supersonic velocities by decreasing its mass in a mass effect field. Because of this, ammunition is never a concern, but managing the weapon's internal heat is. If a weapon is fired too rapidly, heat will build up inside of the weapon and it will overheat, forcing the operator to stop firing long enough for the weapon to disperse its heat buildup.

so instead of EM coils the gun generates gravity to project the particle.

similar loading concept in loading, different in projecting.

"Mass effect" is just in-universe term for "space magic". They're railguns, really

gravity and time-travel are the effects mass has on the universe

Considering how it's utilized, it's space magic

They're propelled magnetically, they just mess with its mass to make it go even faster, with the mass returning as it leaves the barrel.

A "gun" that fires small flying drones with attached guns, kinda like an aircraft carrier boat but you carry it like a rocket launcher.

>Sulfuric acid squirt gun

Fuck it go big or go home. Teflon coated sqirtgun full of concentrated fluroantimonic acid. pH is -31.3

>space magic
No, no, you're thinking of the G11.

It shoots miniature black holes, yo!

How about Chlorine trifluoride, which the Nazis were gonna use to destroy the Maginot Line?

>"found to be an effective combined incendiary weapon and poison gas."
>"extremely reactive with most inorganic and organic materials, including glass and teflon, and will initiate the combustion of many otherwise non-flammable materials without any ignition source."
>"Chlorine trifluoride and gases like it have been reported to ignite sand, asbestos, and other highly fire-retardant materials. In an industrial accident, a spill of 900 kg of chlorine trifluoride burned through 30 cm of concrete and 90 cm of gravel beneath."
>"The compound reacts violently with water-based suppressors, and oxidizes in the absence of atmospheric oxygen, rendering atmosphere-displacement suppressors such as CO2 and halon completely ineffective."
>"Exposure of larger amounts of chlorine trifluoride, as a liquid or as a gas, ignites tissue."
>"corrosive to human tissue, is absorbed through skin, selectively attacks bone, interferes with nerve function, and causes often-fatal fluorine poisoning."

...

An Electro-Thermal Pulse weapon that uses a filament and a spark gap to form expanding plasma in order to propel the round forward.

...

No way could that mag hold all those rounds with a spring.

You can not turn that shit into a controllable weapon. And at the end of the day, it is still just a chemical weapon.

So... a gyrojet pistol? These actually existed.

Can you imagine the amount of carbon that would build up? Probably have to field strip and clean the chamber once per mag change.

...

And I forgot how greentext works. Whoops.

the fuck?

You were close.

The Nazis tried, but lacked balls to actually go through with it.

Just how bullshit would Gauss weapons be to put into a game? I mean bullshitery tier of the magizine contains the space capacitor that could power it and the rounds aswell?

necron gauss?

No, more like the Gauss weapons that were in X:COM:EW Long War

isn't that just a hand held rail gun? or was it the one that the magazines were actually battery packs to power the rails to shoot the gun

I think it was supposed to be a battery/ammo pack within the magazine so you didn't have to fuck about with different packs attached to the weapon. And they came in assault rifle, sniper, LMG, and other flavors.

A railgun uses rails. A gauss rifle uses electromagnetic coils activated in sequence.

Railgun is simpler and scales better with increasing size, gauss scales better at small sizes and doesn't wear out so quickly.

They solved the problem by building everything rickety and unsealed, Seeing how the bullet rotates itself through jet nozzles, that isn't the worst idea, really.

A gun which emits a cone in which some fundamental physical properties don't exist.

A fun example might be a cone in which the Strong Interaction does not exist at all. As a technology, it's implausible, but definitely fun to think about.

The vacuum energy collapse propagates at the speed of light, so you're looking at a sphere with a radius of three hundred meters there bub.

When you say "exotic", what do you mean exactly?

Do you mean plausible yet unconventional weapons based on currently understood physics?

Do you mean hypothetical weapons based on phenomina predicted but not observed, or observed but not fully explained by modern science?

Do you mean fanciful weapons inspired by but having no real connection to the laws of nature as we know them?

Or do you mean sleek and curvy/boxy and industrial-looking yet completely impractical weapons with names that add a sci-fi futuritic adjective to the name of a conventional weapon?

Obviously he's asking for a means to Weaponized exotic matter.

Since exotic matter could be literally anything, he's still going to have to narrow it down.

>black hole shotgun:
>it's a shotgun that shoots black holes as shells and ammo itself
>the black holes in question have extremely low mass overall, are in fact artificially compressed into the needed density and decompress into harmful matter upon release towards the target.

>saint hyppolitus:
>rockets launcher designed to literally rip and tear rather than penetrate, among more imaginative uses.
>two phases rockets launcher, the first phase consists in firing a number of small pods containing miniature solar sails, the second phase sees the pods opening and the intelligent targeting systems of the rockets launcher firing its lasers to propell the sails; various firing modalities from pods attaching directly to strategically locations on the target to being connected among themselves with very hard monofilament cords.

>spin-grenade:
>exploiting unconventional relativistic fields and holes, the grenade emits a protective field and a rotating cilinder of higly-packed energy; the targets inside the field of the grenade get affected by the time/space-warping effects of the spinning cilinder.

No shit? A movie was first talked about in '91 (as in 25 years ago), and we were promised it'd only get done if they could get the SFX right.

the alternate gun.
The person hit gets connected to an alternate reality version of themselves.
The effect can be confusion at its lowest, damage of various entity up to death due to shifting and mixing of bodyparts, switch with an alternate version or fusion of the 2 bodies causing the whole mass of both of them to turn to energy.
You roll to determine the effect and level of damage
