Ah, I thought maybe you'd change it, because last time I checked it still had that old low-res icon and I thought you might as well redesign it.

Why not just a gas laser that can share capacitors (which store power) with plasma weapons?

All you need for plasma is a brick of plastic and a way to heat it to the ionised gas state called "plasma", and the magnetic bottle to contain said plasma.

Batteries might be what you're looking for, error.

Why don't we have a plasma thrower? It'd be cheaper to make than a plasma rifle, but would need more gas and have a shorter effective range. There's a flamethrower in Flan's, right? Or was that in SDK's... Meh, I don't see a reason why you couldn't have the rate of fire high enough and the projectiles slow enough for it to look like a continuous stream.

I might have suggested it, but can you make the lasers actual beams, with really long, high-velocity projectiles?

SDK had a flamethrower, but it didn't have limited range, or even gravity. It produced a ruler-straight beam of fire that could kill things more efficiently at greater ranges than just about any other gun in his mod. Flan himself doesn't have a flamethrower, although at least one other pack added one; there's not a great way to do it in Flan's. As far as I know you can't actually produce anything like a jet or beam. The one I saw just fired lots of really inaccurate bullets with smoke trails that set fire to blocks.

A ruler-straight beam of fire would be about right, as long as it stops at a few meters.

looks more like an SMG but if you lop the back off it would make a neat pistol. I made it pistolish because there wouldn't be much of a functional difference between a solid state laser pistol and rifle, so it'd basically be a pistol with a stock and extra power source/cap bank/pulse amp/attachments/whatever.

I'm saying the shoulder stock is too short to be used and the design would make it hard to stretch it to usable lenght, so I'd say it's easiest to implement as a pistol realistically.

The stock is supposed to be extendable, its drawn collapsed. Maybe have a pistol for the main gun then have the back portion of the rifle as an attachment? Like a convertible rifle, with more ammunition capacity, accuracy, damage or ROF than the base pistol.

I could have the base pistol, without the stock, with a low power but somewhat cheap to make.

I could then make the stock independently, have it as an attachment, which increases accuracy and damage but increases recoil.

Why would a laser have recoil? Just lengthen the reload time.
