((I just read through some of the recent turns on the mission thread. More mindfucking goodness.))
Call up some test dummies to see how the out of sync firing circuts affects a 3-round burst.
The burst doesn't seem effected, nor does the single shot. The normal charged shot seems weaker though, and the superovercharge simply refuses to work.
so you basically want to take the thing you have, fit it with a giant pole instead, with most of that pole coming out the back until you use it, at which point it shoots out like a spear?
((Precisely. Oh, and it would return in place then, and shoot out again repeatedly, just like the swings of the previous version were repeated.))
As per a single use tip, what would happen that the thing would hit and then push the spike forward with all the force of the kinetic amplifier. Ie you could just extend the weapon quickly and fire the tip off or attempt to use it to pierce armor like a chisel and embed it there. Although the force will probably pretty much destroy the spike too.
((Also, how useful this improvised chisel would it be at improving the piercing capability of the weapon? Puncturing Mk II suits, to be specific?))
Alright, 8 foot pole it is. I feel advised to tell you that you will be getting negatives to dex with that. And don't try fighting in a confined space like a hall or something unless you want to be knocking your teammates in the head and wedging yourself in awkward positions.
oh, and Mk II's aren't gonna stand a chance either way.
(( 
*grin* Yeah, I'll find other weapons to fight with in a confined space. But, I guess, with enough time at hand and at least just enough space, it is possible to use it indoors? Such as patiently breaching the side wall of a 10-11 feet wide hall, with comrades standing safely away? ))
Test the weapon against a battlesuit. Estimate the cost of making it, as well as how strong a man has to be to wield such a monstrosity.
Then save & exit the simulation. Do some exercises (right beside the VR terminal) to speed up the muscle recovery. See who is around, and start socializing with them.
((@IronyOwl I suggest devising a standartised power generator - or a small number of those - with standartised plugs and such things. Looks like a few of us are going to use them around, and it might serve us a good job to make the power sources compatible.
@all I also once more propose to share our designs freely. No need to charge your own teammates for those, especially if Steve is willing to give some extra tokens for the inventions proven most useful. Fees for assembling devices might be a different story, but I would suggest alleviating them altogether too or at least making them small and reasonable - something like 1 token for every 10 tokens of the materials worth, rounding up.))
(yeah, if the hall is big enough you're fine.)
It's enough to do pretty good damage against a battle suit, not a one hit impalement or anything, but still pretty dang good. The force of the blow has increased to the point that there is a noticeable shock wave and air burst from using it, and thats where things get a bit tricky. The shockwave and expanding air put force on the pole, slowly bending it. After a dozen blows or so it's bent to the point that it won't retract completely. Further use only makes it worse.
You hop out of the vr machine and look around while attempting to touch your toes and jogging in place at the same time. It looks like there's a woman in the mess hall digging through garbage, but that may be a hallucination brought on by kneeing yourself in the head a moment ago.
"Well shit. Oh well, I was planning on buying more focusing chambers anyway. Now, what seems to be the problem?"
Figure out the problem.

Uhhhh...well it looks like the confabulation isn't connected to the thing-a-majig, and this part here? The whatsit? Yeah, thats totally uhhh Backwards? Fuck, you have no idea.
((That sounds logical)) Thomas creates a dril tip out of parrellel filaments the size of a quarter, and places it on the tip of the drill. He tests it on a Mark III, a Battle Suit and a concrete wall. Then, he tests the effect of additional firing chambers on accuracy and power, more specifically, could he pour more power from the backpack into it if he had more chambers?
The drill with razor tip cuts nicely into the power armor in a spray of sparks but halts its advance almost instantly, before even getting to the kinetic amps. The funnel shape of the drill is stopping it from getting any further in because the drill on it's own isn't powerful enough to drill through the armor.
(also, firing chambers? On the drill? Or did you have a second project going that I completely forgot about)
Use left hand and fire rifle at a car's gas tank. Crawl away.
[Con:1+1] You shoot and miss entirely whist trying to crawl away.
[man 1:3]
The first man's shot clips you, but you keep on trucking
[man 2: OW MY FOOT]
[man 3: OW MY FOOT]
The second and third men seem a bit busy.
[man 4:6]
But the fourth's laser rifle beam slices right through your neck and for a few seconds you roll gayly about and then come to a rest, extremely dead.
