Fusion Core Cannon

[GeorgieSunset]

Had this idea for a weapon based on the Halo fuel rod gun, but I don't have the skills or knowledge to make it myself, so have at it.

Essentially, it would be a junk/homemade weapon launching unstable fusion cores, like the power armour core eject at long range.

Though similar to a fat man, the per-shot damage would have to be weaker to compensate for having a 3-5 round magazine.

Ammo-wise, probably better to require manual conversion of the ammo from regular cores, so you don't accidentally launch your whole supply (and to avoid issues with working around core health)

Could potentially use converted fusion cells instead? A few taped end-to-end maybe lol.

Mod ideas: different projectile speeds/arcs, letting you use it more like a mortar or for direct fire. Could also have a Children of Atom version with radiation damage, with a similar look to Atom's Judgement.

Anyway, thanks for reading! Hope this inspires you :D
