New NS Weapon (Punisher?)

[Ale]

It's the gauss... with no rails, no texture work and the stock, a SCAR type Moon boot, folded.

Maybe it's a semi-automatic sub-machinegun, hence the short barrel, that fires high calibre rounds normally used for sniper rifles and ... no it makes no sense.

But the ejection port is so small...

Yeah, I can't figure it out either.

[Captain1nsaneo]

it's a grenade launcher with a gun attachment.

OH! you know what? Look at the piece of the gun right before where the stock should be! That's a foldable stock! w00000! The Devs have heard us! That gun is collapsible. Thank God! Ok, now I like it even better

[DayOne]

Yeah, looks like a folding stock! Perhaps a collapsing submachine gun with a high-capacity clip?

I think it's just great. The Common Pool weapons in Planetside were NO BULLSHIT. The Decimator? Everyone loved (and feared that thing). And the Punisher was the only gun in that game with an assault rifle + grenade launcher combo. I never used it, nor the Sweeper Shotgun, but I am really happy that the Common Pool stuff where not at all like "a step down" from the ES stuff, they were just available to all three. I'm thinking that I will still use only the Pulsar Carbine for my VS Engineer, but I was always really happy with the Common Pool stuff.

Fuck! The BOLT DRIVER? AMIRITE?

I think that Nanite Systems weaponry is gonna kick some ass o.O

[Bags]

looks like arse.

[Oryon22]

That has to be the Punisher

[FriendlyFire]

This looks to be about half the size of the Gauss, when collapsed.

and it says x23....

True, it does seem to say "SMG" there. The caliber is indeed fucking huge. 17x23 is god damned huge. Not quite ehm.. pistol caliber anymore that SMGs usually are defined by. Then again, the NC pistol fires a .50 round, so oh well But still, 17mm?!?!?!? But then again. x23 would by now means require a magazine that big. Remember that the usual 9mm para is 9x19.

Perhaps it's future magazine tech that would make J. M. Browning jaelous. Not just staggered mag, but it's like quad staggered Meaning there woudl be 2 "stacks" in the back and two in the front. Must be lovely for the weapon to try feeding that lol.

Also, the Gauss uses a 5,56 round, yet the magazine is about the same size...

Perhaps we just need to accept that these won't quite go with IRL measures But I still have to say that if that tries to be an SMG, it sorta fails in the definition of SMG

[HELLFISH88]

Look's like Ass.



Pleased with the Prowler however.

[Sabrak]

Definitly looks like a Punisher to me.

Please add buttstocks to basically all non-pistols.

~Zachariah

could be following Battlefields design where they have all the common pool class weapons as all close range weapons.

[super pretendo]

I demand more butts

thats beacause that light grey part slams back and ejects the casing, the ejection port is big enough look at it.
