Most futuristic weapons don't feel as satisfying as regular guns. The only satisfying alternatives to a chemical propellant are railguns and some alien technology that isn't fully explained.

Alternatively, you could go the route of Mass Effect where the guns are, for all intents and purposes, guns except lore-wise, they're devices which shave off tungsten and propel them via mass effect.

It is unlikely that we will switch from the rocket/explosive propellant system any time in the far future. Even the most powerful lasers become worthless at ranges that most pistol rounds can easily travel. If you ever saw laser guns truly arise they would probably look like something from MechWarrior. The biggest thing that will happen is most likely caseless ammo and someone will perfect the bullpup making it the obvious choice for rifles.

No one wants to have a future where everything is dandy...

>Even the most powerful lasers become worthless at ranges that most pistol rounds can easily travel
but light is faster than sound dude

>use a laser gun
>oops there's smoke in the air
>all the energy gets dissipated into heating gas instead of doing actual damage

at least you looked cool doing absolutely nothing

I don't understand how that disproves my point.

and light bounces off of literally everything including the atmosphere it would be traveling through, defocusing the beam and making it worthless

Light also scatters due to air, unlike pistols.

The tungsten guns in ME are as far as I can tell, basically railguns but with mass effect technology because mass effect is basically magic.

bullshit and boring concepts like "realism" and "science" get in the way of fun

>implying governments would give up control over fiat currency

Memecoiners pls.

how are we sending signals millions of light years away, and have satelites, phones, internet, radio where everything travels around the globe instantly and accurately without this type of interference? surely there's some obvious solution to this

Because those signals aren't made of light dumbass. Does turning on your room lamp suddenly turn night into day?

Because it's not interference in the way you're thinking, as the frequency of the waves have not changed. So you can broadcast a radio signal into deep space and pick it up lightyears away, but the signal will be very feint.

Lasers burn because it's highly concentrated in a single point. If you scatter it, it loses that energetic power and just becomes a regular beam of light.

>how are we sending signals millions of light years away

we aren't, but space is really empty so it's easier to send things through it if that's what you meant.

>phones, internet, radio where everything travels around the globe instantly and accurately without this type of interference?

Those aren't laser light but another kind of eletromagnetic waves, and if you stand close to the array communicating with a sattelite, do you die? could you turn those into a weapon? No you cannot.

I mean you probably get cancer or something over a long period of time so maybe if you concentrate the satellite beams really hard and on one place you can give someone like nitro-cancer or something.

Why don't we have cancer guns? Like shooting radiation

because nobody has any idea how to completely contain radiation

Because even if you could somehow direct high energy radiation that damage the DNA of whatever it targets, whether it will develop cancer or not is still up to RNGesus to see if the damaged DNA codes for genes that prevent cancer. That and tumors don't grow overnight, and tumors have to mature for some time before they metastasize and spread to other parts of the body and cause organ disfunction. By that point it's just easier to use a regular slug thrower and make holes in the target and kill it the old-fashioned way.

Wouldn't a railgun feel boring due to the lack of kickback?

Could see application for some future cold war assassinations. How would you even track that some politician got shot by radiation instead of getting it normally

>Not wanting accurate full-auto fire

DNA damage from high energy radiation is easy to spot using conventional DNA testing modalities like PCR. High energy radiation will cause extensive damage to DNA in the form of random mutations on top of radiation sickness which has extensively documented symptoms because radiation poisoning has been around since the time of Marie Curie. The only that that would be different is that there isn't a direct point of contact between the target and assailant. The first one or two to go down would do so without a trace but once they do, people are going to connect the dots and bring Geiger counters everywhere and since the radiation is directional, it would be pretty easy to spot the assassin once people wise up to it. I maintain that a regular sniper rifle would do the job just as well with less fuss.

It's better to just plant something very radiating on someone or in someone's home.

Because
1, Backfire, you'd end up roasting yourself
2, Lack of immediate effect on the target if you want to survive firing it.
3, Cancer is a long and slow way of killing someone making it useless in a fight and you can't turn up the intensity of the radiation without cooking yourself
4, If you want to make it powerful enough to instakill a target it wouldnt really be a cancer gun, it would be a remote Programmed Cell Death trigger.

Are you fucking retarded?

>2, Lack of immediate effect on the target if you want to survive firing it.
but that was exactly the reason i like it, as i said for cold war like assassinations. you can fire and not have to run like hell with everyone on you. you just know target will be dead in a few days, like those arsenic poisonings that happened, except at long range

>lack of kickback?
why the fuck would a railgun ignore the laws of physics?

>game set in the future
>gravity manipulation is possible
>somehow use it exclusively on mundane cargo lifting
Nobody thought they could shoot projectiles with that kind of technology?

Yeah, I was just covering all the bases.
A cancer gun would pretty much only be useful for assasinations in a world where no one has ever been caught using one and the post mortem of the target would reveal the nature of the cancer gun and everyone would be up in arms about developing ways to detect and deal with it.
It would be a one off weapon sadly.

sounds very convoluted and too realistic, devs could just make it happen and explain it away lol, as long as the game's fun

What, you think we're gonna let ooga boogas in our space stations? Fuck that they can keep earth

Zero point energy would presumably take a shitload of power

>we
As if you'd be allowed on it

What is going on in this vid?

ANSWER THIS

Large powerful antenna can boil your eyes an instant.

you're still not turning that into a handgun now are you?

>better
>gun releases a fart that just flies and does some damage that you cant even usually see

>gun makes a loud bang and a very fast metal piece makes a red wound in somebody's body

i can generalize too

But light is just electromagnetic radiation just like radio waves.

If i had to guess, a B list asian idol of some sort conversing with foreign fans

I dated a mixed black girl once, she was into those K pop bitches

Because cancer takes far longer to end up killing someone than a bullet.
You should have been able to figure this one out on your own.

>Loud and badass bolter
>Pantsy imperial lasgun mod. "pew pew"

Yeah not gonna trade sorry.
