Here's my pitch at a weapon, Also Kai, I stole your info list format! xp

ENPR- 001SW

The ENPR-001 is a prototype air cooled customizable support weapon platform. That is used for medium to close quarters engagement. The Weapon is of "bull-pup" configuration, allowing the magazine to be placed behind the trigger mechanism to allow a longer barrel in a shorter frame. The weapon fires at an accurate and effective 1.5in spread at 250 meters in 5rd bursts. A fast cycling counter weight, is placed in side the gun to help counter any excessive recoil that may cause any major loss of accuracy. The weapon also features a retractable bi-pod for added stability. Another notable feature of the ENPR is the newly developed firing system, the highly innovative "Explosive Needle Pack" or "ENP".

The "ENP", is a small fast feeding projectile 500rd box magazine. The ammunition, which is fired, is a small needle like "bullet". The standard "Round Point" ammo is no more than 2in long and .6in wide. The needle is filled with a highly explosive yet stable compound. Though only a miniscule amount is used, the power yielded on contact is immense. The "needle" when fired via pulse burst from within the gun, which is powered from a small battery in the magazine, which in turn activates the explosive. Is ejected from the barrel at an extremely high rate of velocity. On contact, a standard "Round Tip" needle can easily penetrate a semi-tough to soft target with ease. Upon penetration the needle almost instantaneously detonates. Causing slight to severe trauma, and collateral damage from within the target. When used on a lower types of Drathonians the tests yielded great stopping power, and reliable results. Against a hard surface and armored targets, a "Sharp Point" needle should be used for maximum effectiveness, these bulkier and denser bullets yield greater stopping power at the cost of ammo capacity.

This looks like a good squad support weapon, whith it's high rate of fire and all. it would work best with a box magazine and a bipod, to increase firing capacity and stability/accuracy. Just know that chemical weapons like this have high recoil and be hard to use accurately, especialy when this light, this thing would have an immense spray. other than that, it's fairly good.

I'll modify it then to be more of a support weapon then!

Back to the drawing board!

Though I really do like the whole ENP thing my self. xp

Oh hey, this is a design for a heavy machine gun platform xD Kind of obsolete since newb submitted one. It's a solid idea, though. Should prolly leave it here for future design implementation.

This is a bit smaller than Newb's design, It would be useful as a sort of SAW (Squad Automatic Weapon) Something a trooper could carry around to keep heads down while soldiers with Sugars snipe ot enemies. This would be useful for Dragoons, Since Dragoons can shug off Bro blasts due to their insanely thick hides, Something armor piercing and explosive could slow them down long enough for something bigger to get at them.

This sounds pretty good for a SAW and appears to fit the bill. I'd recommend adding in a bi-pod for stability while firing; spray is not a bad thing to be honest. It's just how a SAW is meant to work; if you go to youtube, vids of insurgents being hosed down can be found easy. Think of it this way; the spray lets you 'engage' several folks at once.

I'd rather not watch videos of people getting 'hosed down,' but yeah, it's essentially a SAW. Although I don't think explosive-tipped needle bullets would just 'slow them down.' It would prolly just put them down.

No! Don't go watching those! Ok, but only if you want to. Meh; the point of the reference was to point out that SAWs are not accurate and keep heads down. Who would want to stick their heads up if little needles are embedding themselves into bulkheads over a wide area and exploding?

Anywho, Any complaints about this thing? i feel like giving it the go-ahead. I'mliking having more variety to choose from.

Needs to be put up in our format, easier to find what you need to know about it that way. Other than that, all good. Looks like the UTR MC is finally fielding some kinetic weapons! Woo!
