Deleted40542685User Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 http://www.thelivingmoon.com/45jack_files/03files/Introducing_Particle_Beam_Weapon.html keep in mind this was from 1984, 34 Years ago. I'm just guessing that the "plasma" in the gun would be accelerated, making it a particle beam weapon, a kinetic weapon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krwada Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 http://www.thelivingmoon.com/45jack_files/03files/Introducing_Particle_Beam_Weapon.html keep in mind this was from 1984, 34 Years ago.

This is why, in practical terms, particle beam weapons have not fared very well. Now ... if some enterprising soul can figure a way to accelerate neutrons ... Now that would definitely be the cat's meow!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirDanest Posted March 4, 2018 Author Share Posted March 4, 2018 I think the Fallout 4 plasma weapons are both ballistic and energy. Maybe a rail-gun "bullet" that can carry the plasma along with it -- I have no idea what could contain or attract plasma to a moving projectile though.

jkruse05 Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 I don't know how realistic it is, but the wiki mentions that the fallout weapons use hydrogen for their plasma weapons, and the video I linked seems to show it as purple-violet. i'm pretty sure the goo piles are artistic license, or something retro-engineered from aliens. :smile:The concept art for FO3 consistently showed them as that purple-violet color instead of green. I kinda prefer it, and I really like the alternate tube design in the last one. https://i.pinimg.com/736x/86/9d/b8/869db8360cdd4061285706fdac472b7b.jpg http://moziru.com/images/drawn-weapon-plasma-rifle-8.jpghttps://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/fallout/images/a/ac/Plasma_rifle_CA1.jpg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/800?cb=20120312002710 https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/fallout/images/d/dd/Laser_rifle_CA1.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20120229183912 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
