Honestly, my opinion is that we should just work on getting man-portable railguns. >_>

This is the best opinion, this obtains a dwarf seal of approval.

[HissinhWalnuts]

So them magnetic pulley guns k.

I have been suggesting this for a while, so it gets my seal of approval.

Prof Jones votes for further improving a rifle in terms of one hit kill accuracy over range, sacrificing any other attributes if needs be, hoping for some kind of enhanced sniper rifle. If approved, name the pattern the "Scalpel".

What sort of rifle? THe Marksman's rifle is already a variant designed to do that- would you like to have another version of that, or the basic autogun constructed?

[MonkeyHead]

Take the marksman rifle... change from a clip of 10 to a single round, but a MASSIVE round, as large a calibre as possible, mabye an APFSDS round. I envisage it as a higly accurate one hit kill weapon with limited ammo, say like an anti tank rifle.

Spoiler: Scalpel Long Rifle Researched! (click to show/hide)

This potent weapon was constructed to be the be all and end all sniper's rifle using current technology. Using special cold loaded ammunition and exacting manufacturing tolerances, this weapon fires flechettes loaded with our finest bio-toxins. This round has extensive armour penetration, as well as exceedinly high accuracy. The toxin is somewhat weakened by the tempratures, but is still functional. This rifle cannot be loaded with alternate ammunition. Wounding is extensive, and in tests, resulted in nearly instantly fatal injuries to man sized targets.
Type: Basic Range 150 m RoF S/-/- Damage 1d10+4 R Penetration 2 Clip 4 Reload: Full Special: Accurate, Felling (2), Toxic (0) weight: 3 kg Availability: Scarce 

Spoiler:  Improved Ballistic weapons researched! (click to show/hide)

The creation of more effective ballistic weapons being our first priority, we created a variety of ammunition to better improve what we had, before making new variants of current weapons.
Ammunition unlocked: Expander, Man Stopper, Slug, Inferno shell, Explosive Arrow, Tracer.
Weapons Unlocked: Assault Shotgun, Autocannon

The Prof looked over the technical precs of the new heavy rifle, and was pleased - if any Xeno could stand up to accurate fire from this mighty weapon, then humanity wuold be in real trouble. Speaking of trouble, this weapon appeared to be about as far as conventional firearms could go in terms of long range lethality. Prof Jones would have to try and get permission to look at alternatives - lasers, gyrojets, or potentially a rail or coil gun.

Request permission for prototype small pistol variants for comparative testing purposes - one laser pistol, one gyrojet pistol, one coil/rail pistol

Support Medikit research.

Volunteer to test new firearms, either in the lab or in the field as required.

[Caellath]

Alex receives the notice of new weapons and does not waste any time in putting forth a requisition for equipment, hopefully acquiring what he wants before he's sent into the fray for the first time.

The Operator requisitions one Common-Craftsmanship Autocannon.

[Vorthon]

Moar ballistics. That is all.

what about a portable gun turret, being basically a large machine gun with basic programming and a large battery to keep it firing at anything not human shaped.
There's actually a gun turret that exists that's like my basic idea, can't remember its name but I'll see if I can find it.
Edit: here we go, found it, it's called the super ageis 2, acronyms included of course:

"Now, let's just deploy the turrets and..."
*pewpewpew*
"Um...we now have no truck and one damaged turret."
"What idiot programmed these things?"

That certainly would be a problem, of course, the turret I linked to acted on heat signatures, so it would fire at anything that gives of heat, back to the drawing board.
