50mm Quarter-power, then.
Pull up a gauss rifle shell, blow it up to fit the 50mm caliber, and hollow out the inside so there's ~40mm of space inside it, and fill it with Chlorine Trifluoride, after making sure that there is no way for the chemical to ignite in the shell. Cap the round, but with a soft tip so as to allow the chemical to be released on impact.
((ClF3. !!FUN!! stuff.
It is, of course, extremely toxic, but that's the least of the problem. It is hypergoCic with every known fuel, and so rapidly hypergoCic that no ignition delay has ever been measured. It is also hypergoCic with such things as cloth, wood, and tesi engineers, not to mention asbesios, sand, and water — with which it reacts explosively. It can be kept in some of the ordinary structural metals — steel, copper, aluminum, etc. — because of the formation of a thin film of insoluble metal fluoride which protects the bulk of the metal, jusi as the invisible coat of oxide on aluminum keeps it from burning up in the atmosphere. If, however, this coat is melted or scrubbed off, and has no chance to reform, the operator is confronted with the problem of coping with a metal-fluorine fire. For dealing with this situation, I have always recommended a good pair of running shoes.

Alrighty, special insanely dangerous, flammable, poisonous grenades that will either kill you via fire, poison, melting your bones or other such horrible horrible things.
Now, about that gun. You're gonna need to basically build it from scratch because everything is different sized so you can't really modify a standard one. Ie it's gonna be a bit more work then normal, but not much more expensive. God help us, it's a cheap and distressingly effective weapon. You want it to be breech loading like your standard grenade launcher?
((Hold it, wait! Lasers can be bent in a prism!
Still viable idea?))
Do you have an example of this in real life? Not of lasers in prisms, but of this thing you're thinking of. Because I'm fairly sure that what you're talking about won't really work. But then again, not a laser expert. Hell, I've never even taken a physics class.
((No. Probably not.))
"Fuck you too chair. Alright, lets modify the shit out of this rifle."
Enter VR pull up my rifle, and see if I can move the electronics down beneath the FC (Focusing Chambers) with the laser emitter still at the back. Then shove the FC into the the stock.
"Oh and Steve? There seems to be a lack of scout suits in the armory."
The laser emitter is already partially in the stock, so you don't really have the space to squeeze in another focusing chamber.
>Scout suits? Define scout suit. Look up flamethrowers or similar, as well as the cost of a more permanent tesla arc.
Also look up any armored, preferably powered suits that aren't on the list. Nothing too extreme, of course.
Finally, look up the different types of armor that go into suits and vehicles.
Flamethrowers still exist, obviously, but are lesser used because Tesla arcs are generally more effective. As per creating a permanent tesla arc, all you'd really have to do is replace the rather shitty internal electronics with ones that don't burn out.
When it comes to powered, armored suits, there are variants of the battlesuit, and then there are specialized "Limbed loaders" which are basically like forklifts or constructon' machines on two or more legs. They're not used very often because, well, there's not a lot of places where having legs is better then wheels or treads. They don't come armored, at least not very much, but you could armor them yourself.
And for that there's really jusi too many to list.
Take Milnos helmet, modify the eyes. Add a scope, infared, and the barrel of a laser pistol on the right side.
Well...helmets don't have eyes.
"Oh."
Go scrounge for tokens.
>Attention, May is looking to make a few tokens. She's willing to get down on her knees and beg. Or anything else she can do on her knees. I'm sure you'll think of something. Pull self from mild catatonic state in bed, return to VR with determination.
"Computer, what do you think about fusing plasma and laser-based weaponry?"
And...more on that idea that I've been pressing on, is it possible to use fusion power reactors?
Oh, and what I'm thinking right here.
I ThiNk the Time is rIpe to aSk SteVe for a sUpercolliDer in whiCh we can hAve different types of wEapons, amMunition, aNd lifeforms colliDe at nearly the spEed of light to sEe wHat coMes out.
>I'm uncertain.As per fusion powered reactors...well yes. Technically it is.
As per that supercollider...do you mean something that basically combines two things? A program like that is possible, though a physical machine...less so.
