  1. I agree
I wanted to make a thing for Kai and Origin, so I made a new form of plasma weaponry for Origin to use, based somewhat on the Powerguns from Hammer's Slammers in the details (coin rounds, extremely heated barrel, complete lack of penetrative power). I think its nice to have weapon tech that has clear drawbacks and strengths instead of all strengths.

This suggestion has been implemented. Votes are no longer accepted.
Working on review. Will update soon.
 
First of all, I like the concept of Blastgun Tech. I do have an issue with the article, however. The issue is not hanging approval, it is more of a suggestion before I give it final approval:

I find the article lacks user/player-friendly organization and presentation. Which makes me question the usability and readability of the article. It has several "blob walls of text" format to it. I know that is hard to avoid when presenting something like this but I just think you should consider improving the organization and readability of the article.

Putting a 3 Day Timer up, Will present my final approval when the timer expires. Let me know if you decide to accept the suggestion above. (Expires: 1/19/2020)
 
Well someone else took this one. But I was gonna say also that the speed and range on this might be a little too high for a handheld weapon. Especially when you consider what would happen in atmo with those weapons.
 
@Syaoran we can both provide input it, No issues here! :) The more input on a submission the better.

I think I've mostly done all I can to make this readable. And yes, the weapons are supposed to be chonky and heavy in use, to balance out the light weight of the ammunition.
 
Since this is an article explaining the "Technology" and not an actual weapons submission, changes to existing weapons ie. requiring Damage Rating etc. I think it is good to go as it is, any actual weapons using the approved technology would, of course, have to go through the NTSE.

✅ Also since you made a few readability changes, I will remove the timer. Personally, the article could still use some readability improvements but I don't see that hanging up approval.
