1. In information, you say it can accept up to 12 mm-caliber ammo. Then, in ammo descript., you say up to 13 mm-caliber. Pick.
2. How can it accept ammunition cartridges? They use a completely different system. Drop this. It takes railgun rounds, period.
3. How durable are the rails? How quick can they wear out? How long does it take to replace them?
4. 2,250 m/s isn't too quick. Unless that's "miles/second," in which case we have some editing to do.
5,000 m/s is a good number. But it will increase the kick some when firing the larger projectiles (one reason Yamatai stuck with a small round with lots of speed).
4. How can the trigger assemblies be the same? The normal rifle has to interact with an entirely different bolt that does completely different things. That some of the trigger assembly PARTS are the same does not mean the assemblies, as units, are interchangeable.
1. Oops, a typo in the writing process. ^^;
2. Well, I meant it would fire the whole damn thing, cartridge and bullet. But of course, I'll give it a tweaking to remove that concept.
3. Added suggested rail replacement guidelines under the maintenance section.
Added an average time required to replace rails under the "Interchangeable Rails" section of the feature listing.
4. Mmm, I was being conservitive and basing the speed off of modern rifle projectile speeds, however, I will take a look at real-life railgun technology and adjust speeds accordingly. However, due to the increased speed, I will have to up the range (Much to Wes' dissatisfaction).
To explain my range increase: I feel that with such an immense speed, it would be insensible to list the weapon's minimum and maximum distances as they are. Yes, it would be difficult for a shooter to live up to such distances with consistent accuracy, however, that is what bipods, scopes, and cybernetic augmentation are for.
5. Well, the design I have in mind, utilizes the mechanical function which would ordinarily interact with a standard rifle bolt to instead manipulate components within the railgun frame to close the circuit which activates the weapon's discharge.
In short, the thing that would normally be engaging a mechanical process in the standard rifle configuration, is instead completing an electronic circuit by physically closing a circuit. Something like using a gun trigger as a light switch.
However, if it continues to be an issue, I can edit it and conduct the same edit in my other rifle articles which utilize the same concept.
EDIT: By the way, I made the changes while typing this up.
PS: Thank you Doshii for dropping by the tech (drama) section.
