Actually, that's a good idea. Test a kinetic amp tipped, an explosive tipped one and one that has an explosive followed by an amp. Trigger the explosive after the amp damages the armor.
Ok, explosive tips can work fine, though you'll need to decide on how they trigger; if it's time or impact based. Now, the problem with the amp one is that the amp is going to trigger pretty much the instant it's fired because the act of being fired is gonna read like the force of being hit: A lot of energy being put into it at once. This means it's going to create a shockwave as it fires and that is gonna throw off the aim a fair bit.
((I want to find out how thick the plates are on a Battlesuit and compare thickness with my own custom plate to get a rough mental idea of how much damage it could take. Everything else should make sense as it is.))
I can't really tell you the properties of the plate you made because if I remember right you went through a lot of iterations of different thicknesses and materials-some of which I'm not 100% sure if you modified or not- and I'm not sure which one you want. A quote of it's composition would help immensely.
In terms of the strength of the battlesuit plate though, it took a direct hit from a nuclear tipped gauss cannon shell in a simulation and kept both the pilot of the suit alive and the suit functional. Using a direct hit by a nuke as a standards cutoff point is gonna be a very hard thing to get around, especially if you're gonna be a stickler about the weight. In general, if the three qualities are Weight, protectiveness and cost, at least 2 of them have to be proportionally large when it comes to regular, solid, material based armors.
You're starting to feel twitchy and you break out in a cold sweat. Your muscles and bones ache.
Query: Any kind of prototyping system to test results in the field?
>I'm sincerely regretting ever giving any of you the chance to prototype this junk. But I'll make you a deal. You can have your prototype, but only on the condition that you have to assemble the shells by hand. Lukas felt a little bit uncomfortable about the doctor's mysterious attitude regarding 'the debt to be paid.' Well, I guess I will find out soon enough. Let's check out those custom made weapons he told me about. He walks off to find his locker, being very careful not to bump his head in any doorways. Walking with his new body feels very strange. This is gonna take some time to get used to.
Find locker and inspect weapons.
You head to the hanger and open your locker. Inside there are 3 weapons, a short, shotgun looking thing, a longer rifle with a large clip, and a very long, very heavy looking rifle with a scope on it.
VR-Charro clapped his hands together with excitement, grinning to himself as he beheld his creation. (RL-Charro giggled a bit and drooled.)
Something he designed might actually work! It felt rather strange, having actually done something himself, even in VR.
He'd always had someone else to do things for him; he had never cooked himself a bowl of chicken noodles, much less crafted a potentially-lethal fashion accessory. It was an alien feeling, but also quite satisfying.
'Of course, it is best to check if the thing actually works before getting too carried away with patting myself on the back...'
>So saying, Charro shall summon up a golfball, load it into the crown of the hat-launcher and attempt to, well, launch it.
You successfully launch the golf ball, though not very far.The springs don't have much force behind them and it's not terribly easy to keep hold of the hat, plus pulling it back is crumpling up the top.
Send a wristpad message to AM:
Sorry to bother you, but did you know Erik? Did you ever go on a mission with The Doctor or just hear about him?
I keep up on the missions, but I didn't know him. And with the Doctor, no, I never worked with him. Just heard about him.
"Hmm, the soul of the user powers the amps...
"Can an EMP wave disable or technically 'fry' the amps, or can a shock to the nervous system of the user work to destroy them?
"If so, is it possible to create such a device from conventional technology?"
"And if I'm wrong, define the human soul, in relation to the usage of those amps."
Ask all these, hope for it all to be answered.
"Is it possible to create a portable sniper attachment to the gauss rifle?"
>The amps are fairly well shielded, though a powerful enough emp might be enough to knock them out. Though to create an emp like that you'd probably need something like a nuke, and if you have a nuke then disabling things isn't a problem. Same with the shock. Maybe you could, but you'd kill the person long before you fried the amp.
>The soul thing was a joke. The thing leaches energy from the body by taking in chemicals and nutrients and using them to generate power.
>And define what you mean by sniper attachment. Charge Ze Muffin Man with Polearm.

You charge forward and jam your polearm (Which we will assume is a spear despite the fact that polearm is a
broad category with over a dozen different types of weapon) directly into his foot.
"Oh O.K. one last question, whats your name?, I hate to be im-personal"
Mason waits for an answer and then head towards the armoury.
((I want to see somthing there that may accelerate my plans.))
"Tim."
You nod and then head off to the armory.
