Happy New Year!!
Thanks for the response on those 10mm Pulse rifles! Much appretiated.
I'm gonna bug you a little more about weapons now, What about these laser
weapons?
Now, I have read all sorts of stuff on these "power packs" which are
unique for each different weapon, but I have no Idea about the size (vol)
of these things. I got a weight listing here in the Imperial Encyclopedia
that says a typical Laser Pistol-9 power pack should weigh 2 kg. Fantastic.
Now, depending upon the makeup of the power cell, the casing material
and what ever power flow governing equipment the little bugger has on it,
this means absolutely nothing to me. If we are talking heavy elements,
it is conceivable that the power cell is about the size of a typical
weapon clip for a slug thrower. (Yes, No, Maybe?)
Ahhhh, but then we take a little gaze at the weapons tables in the
Players Handbook and notice that a typical Laser Pistol-9 has a 50 shot
capacity per power cell. The plot thickens... And we see that a Laser
Pistol-13 (with a Power Cell weight of 1 kg) has a 200 shot capacity!
That's right, we have an increase of shot power per kilogram of factor 8!
Now, I have no problem with this as long as we are talking a backpack
that is akin to the size of a small Microwave oven. But we also have a
drawing of an imperial trooper on page 35 of the Rebellion Sourcebook
(Potential Boo-Hiss?) which depicts a Laser Pistol (I assume TL 13) with
the power link cord running behind him... He doesn't look too encumbered
to me. Now, I don't claim that artistic endeavors should become the be
all end all of judgement in this case, but I am REALLY confused.
And What about this 200 shots per magazine... How about clips that
contain 20 shots, which can load into the grips? Wisdom anyone? Advice?
Also, Can anybody direct me to some net accessible robot designs? I
got a lot of Scott Kellogg's designs (Cargo Lifters and Pizza Boxes)
but I have a great need for more.
Thanks, Happy New Year,
Anthony Neal
