As a europoor, I don't get to use guns. So when I'm dsigning the ones in use for my writing, I have no idea if they're practical or not.

So I'd like some help.



This is a very rough 5 minute job in paint to show the reloadig system of the main rifle that is in use. It's also whyit looks like a famas. Kind of like a bullpup, but it reloads from the top like an M1 Garand (Because I love that reload system, it looks cool). Although it's using a 12.7mm round, it is in use by guys in power armour who can easily use this kind of power (Regular humans don't get these), and the massive round is designed to fight guys in heavy armour. Oh yeah, the magazine only holds ten rounds and cools in between reloads.

Is this any kind of practical?

Care to elaborate?

Like I said, this thing is supposed to be heavy firepower. The guys who use these kinds of things are in strength-enhancing armour systems, so the recoil from such a weapon is more or less manageable. For them.

12.7mm seems rather specific.

Oh derr, nevermind. Fuckin' .50 cal.

The reload seems tedious as fuck, and only being 10 rounds seems quite limited, unless that's just a kind of DMR the super soldiers are going to spend a lot of time reloading. Bullpups are nice for conserving space, but if it's super soldiers carrying that shit it doesn't really have to be light weight. I'd up the magazine capacity, you'll probably have to ditch the *ping* to achieve that and go with standard magazine loading. Unless you get really creative and the son of a bitch spits out drums when it needs to reload.

TAR-21 has a more futuristic aesthetic over the famas imo

You will find out who you are not a thousand times, before you ever discover who you are. I hope you find peace in yourself and learn to love instead of hate.
this is a sci fi universe right? just use lasers that way your gun designs don't really have to make sense.

I'm goign down the hard scifi route. And lasers really aren't that powerful, and require a tremendous energy source to maintain, as well as being blocked by anything that can stop photons.

~The laser weapons that do exist are mounted on starships and vehicles. Railguns and plasma weapons are semi-common but are too costly to produce and maintain to make them suitable for mass deployment.

Like I said, the actual drawing I've got doesn't really look like a famas. But my crappy paint drawing does. I do like the TAR, though.

Bullpup designs do reduce barrel length, or allow a longer barrel without being as cumbersome to carry. Plus, the rounds are big so they can penetrate the armour in use, but it means they carry less ammo. There are still more conventional guns with smaller calibers of ammo, but they don't even scratch the armour.

It's a shame though. I like the ping :c

It was a combination of this


And a bullpup design

They have a photon sniper, but the wavelength of the photons is invisible to the human eye and it doesn't go pew pew.

The main lasers in use are space-borne, and are automated ship defences to destroy micro-meteorites and as an ultra-long range anti-ship sniper, due to the travel time requiring virtually no lead on targets.

Do you have any idea how much energy it takes to destroy a planet? Or to even slightly budge a natural satellite so it smashes into it in a few million years?

It's a fuck ton. And besides, why would anyone want to estory a planet? Planets are rare, and terraforming is a fucking long process. My thing is set in the mi 2600's and the first generation of habitable planets have only just finished being terraformed. there are twelve planets, no one wants to blow them up.

With .50's in the back, that thing needs some serious weight on the barrel or it's going to feel like absolute shit to move. Go grab a stick and tape a 10lb dumbbell to the end closest to you. This is your weapon.
