Yes, because we all know how it magically becomes impossible for a person to carry a gun once they know how to heal people.

I would be offended if I didn't have to deal with shotgun wielding medics glad in blue and gold.

Hard to see gilly suits too, but I would wear one for each terrain type if needed. They just rolled them into one predator type.

Do we know yet what this is supposed to be? Whatever it is, I hope T-Ray reworked it.

Probably the NC version of the TR MCG

Re: NC Weapon: Sweeper

Still no official word on what it is. We all assumed it was an NC version of an MCG, but looking at Livefire's link, it looks similar to that gatling shotgun. I doubt its a new JH though.

Re: NC Weapon: Sweeper

a gattling shotgun doesnt fit with the NC's High Damage, Low Throughput philosophy. that would be more a TR weapon....

Those are not barrels, but magnets. It uses gauss technology, so those magnet "barrels" dont shoot out anything, they just boost the projectile coming from the center.

Also, I noticed the wiki had been updated so that the Sweeper (which we know is a sweeper) is said to be Jackhammer now o.o While it may take JHs spot, it certainly doesnt make it a Jackhammer.

Despite what the JH was, I personally think that weapon is more deserving of the "Jackhammer" name. It just looks right.

Oh ya, and make it belt fed from a box that's cool and realistic just let me see the belt on one side getting fed into the gun please!

Like this....Jack Hammer

And then make the Scatter Cannon for the NC MAX just that much bigger firing 4 Gauge shotgun shells being the MAX can carry a lot more weight.
