So I had an idea for a possible weapon. I don't have a name for it, but this is basically how it would work:
The weapon would fire a metal slug, and by doing so, would only by effective in a direct hit(or very, very close on the ground for shrapnel damage). The weapon would have about twice the fire rate of the rocket, and would do approximately 30% damage per hit to a raider. The projectile would not follow a straight path. Instead, it would travel along a shallow parabolic path(fired horizontally). This path would be noticeable at mid range(150m+), but at short distances would almost be inconsequential. The knock-back inflicted by a hit would be comparable to a rocket direct hit, but would probably be a little less.
I imagine the weapon would look like some kind of funny rifle, and the projectile would be traced by a thin trail of smoke, extending from where it was fired to where it lands(this is stated knowing nothing about how much stress a bunch of these trails would put on a server. I just think it would look nice).
I imagine this weapon would work(or I would use it) as a chaingun alternative. However, I can see it working as a rocket alternative, or even a sniper if you could get used to the arc at longer distances.
Discuss/modify the idea/shoot down. Do as you please. Also, I would like to point out that this is just an idea. I am not asking for this to be made, I am just asking for it to be discussed, and if that discussion results in a new weapon, then good for us.
