I designed two this morning, 80mm and 50mm, both low-powered and with extremely short barrels. Range was still good for battlesuit engagements (around 800-1,000 yards). Damage is 6dx6(10) and 6dx20(10). The 50mm might be better for use against battlesuits. >I'm thinking about a 5mm railgun with 3,000 rounds, a 5.12-MJ >blaster (6d*24) with power cells for 175 shots, and 36 pounds >of rockets or missiles -- could be six 6-lb. missiles, four >9-lb. missiles, or a single 36-lb. missile. Can the 5mm penetrate suit armor at TL10? Brandon _______________________________________________ GurpsNet-L mailing list <[email protected]> http://mail.sjgames.com/mailman/listinfo/gurpsnet-l
