<div class="IPBDescription">As Usual, Comments, Crits etc</div> my 2nd try at a bit of concept art. if u cant reat the text it says:
The ZarLox-7 - Part Real, Part Fiction. reloads through cable at rear. fires plasma/solid waste shells. unit can carry 10 shots worth of plasma without the cable connected. press throw-toggle (other side) to charge up. power level displayed on both sides.
Green: 5-10 shots left before recharge (actual show by amount of green)
Yellow: 3-5 shots left before recharge (actual show by amount of yellow)
Red: 1 or 2 shots left before recharge (actual show by amount of red)
hope ya like it!

could u pls post a pic of the real gun it's based on?
na..im outha here ...
you wanna tell us something like that exists? aaaww..
where do you where at physics class?
do you know how long plasma exists without a powersource? or containment? blabla?
this weapon would need a very powerfull containment EM field to prevent the plasma to touch the internal structures of the gun.. .. now you need enough power to heat gas, or solid matter to bring it to the fourth state of matter..plasma..
then you need a way to transport this plasma out of that pistol over a distance that allows it to use it as a weapon...
plasma expands pretty much and would possible hurt the user of the gun more than the target.
to propell the plasma you could use its natural expansion, and a magnetic accellerator,but after leaving the magnetic containment of the gun you will get serious problems..(only when you gun gets not tightend magnetic to the metallic walls of a spaceship) huminity in the air could split up into hydrogen and oxygen and could start a deflagration, or in the whoser case a uncontrolled fusion reaction that will frie you to a krispy piece of kebap... but only if you are able to produce a compact powersurce that is strong enough to produce such a strong magnetic field and heat to produce plasma without melting your gun...
ND
Think it's a glock anyway.
BY FAR THE WORST CONCEPT EVER!!!!!!!
(atleast that ive seen this is my opinion and im sticking to it)
Can I get a cookie!?!? <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
Wait I believe it is acctully a stungun or taser the design seems right for one I believe its just a stun gun with **** stuff
added on it
Now, you could either go for massive wattage and dense cold plasma, or you could just go for a pulsed laser cold plasma beam that disrupts on a cellular level. Very effective against Kharaa, I'm sure.
The other method, that of small magnetic field "bullets" is the one that afaik was toyed with by various military groups. And involved "hot" plasma. Though it could just as easily be adapted for cold.
Aren't NASA working on a plasma engine? I believe they are.
Funnily enough it doesnt "just (work) in absolute vacum", it works on a terrestrial level as well.
Care to comment on cold plasma?
Teh lolz are on you, I believe.
i thought you meant the mercury ion plasma engine by lewis electricmagnetic propulsion division , because this one just works in space ( they have experimented with xenon and cesium too, xenon was preferred because it would generate the greatest thrust and, as an inert gas, it would not be hazardous to handle and process)
boeing electron dynamic designs also produces a commercial xenon ion propulsion system, XIPS, for use on the future boeing 601HP and boeing 702 spacecraft in geosynchronous orbit. the first satellite with an onboard XIPS system was PAS-5, which was launched in August 1997.
btw.. im not commenting every single line that seems silly to me..
thats the fiction part on science fiction <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
got cold fusion? <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
he is usng ions generated by a tiny cold plasma "flame...
an ion engine relies on electrically charged atoms, or ions, to generate thrust. xenon, an inert, noncombustible gas, is electrically charged and the ions are accelerated to a speed of about 62,900 miles per hour (30 kilometers per second). the ions are then emitted as exhaust from the thruster, creating a force, which propels the spacecraft in the opposite direction. but this only works at 0- gravity.
unlike its chemical counterpart, the ion engine produces a gentle thrust, but for a very long duration. the deep space 1 spacecraft carried about 81.5 kilograms of xenon propellant, which will provide about 20 months of continuous thrusting, more than enough to propel deep space 1 throughout its entire mission. the 30-centimeter ion thruster on deep space 1 will eventually change the spacecraft's speed by 4.5 kilometers per second, the equivalent of 10,000 miles per hour.
(Unless I'm mistaken, isn't that a screencap of Chain Reaction?)
Back to the original topic, I believe that mangled pic may have been one of the prototype Gauss gun. Note the lack of trigger (just a button, which would impinge on the clip if it were a repeat-projectile weapon) and extra-tall slide and receiver assembly. On the gauss pistol, that's to accomodate battery packs and capacitors. Though it *could* be a standard wired or air-taser. Haven't looked at many of them.
