I was bored so I messed around and this was the result.

What do you think?
-
It's awesome in a silly way. Nuke's gonna love it. :D
-
Hmm, is that the equivalent of the "Puree" setting on the blender?...
Nah, this is "Liquefy"! :eek:
-
what is it supposed to be?
-
Pure Pwnage.
-
Can Sandwich even carry one of those?
-
*stands in awe*
dude. that would be ****ing KILLER to put on a destroyer in FS2. Think of the damage it would cause. :D
-
screw destroyers, ut it on alpha 1, coupled with his impervious Lucifer/~I esque shielding and impossible resilient hull, he'd be even more unstoppable :P
-
That would kinda make the idea of playing the game pointless.
It's not a game if you can't lose, you know. :D
-
it is so a game, an awesome game :P
-
I shudder to think of seeing that gun in action... either in real life or FS... :nervous:
-
Real life would be really awesome. We could blow up Iraqi civilians even better!
(controversial message here, please don't overreact)
-
Of course, having any beyond the first "tier" rotate loses the point and just creates reloading and other problems... :p
-
It reminds me of playing Wolf3d to be honest. Good times, good times. :)

Controversial... I'd say so! Are you trying to say our servicemen are purposefully targeting Iraqi civilians? If so, you need a visit with your friendly psychiatrist. If you disagree with the war, that's one thing... but really, if we were the type that wanted to target civvies, we could do a heck of a better job of it than that... there wouldn't be ANY LEFT by now... we'd be working on you. (Don't take it personal: if we were the type to purposefully go after civilians, we would also be the type that didn't take kindly to being reprimanded for it.) :drevil:

perhaps you didnt get the "gist" of what i was saying, I was NOT saying i use ~I, i was saying that that gun would make the character of "Alpha 1" even harder to kill than he is now. Have you not noticed the rediculous amont (compared to every other fighter in the game be it same call as the players or not) or damage the players ship can withstand? I mean on easy, you can take somthing in excess of 10 direct anti-fighter beams? most fighters (even the infamous brick) cant take more than 5...

No, I'm saying that Iraqi civilians are getting caught in the crossfire of an unnecessary war.

LMFAO
-
What's the point? Though it's thoroughly awesome, it won't help reloading if you spin the giant multibarrels...
Plus, it would fire absolutely miniscule bullets...
-

What difficulty level are you using, anyways?
-

Unless it's really just that big.

Throw engines on it, import it into FreeSpace at about the size of the Sathi?

Each barrel is a BFRED. :eek:

Oh yeah.
AC, we need that model. It'll be perfect for JAD4.

/hides in corner, scared
Now if we can just hide it in subspace until we need it, and then open a cruiser-size hole to fire through...
-

Nah, each barrel fires a Meson Bomb.
-

No, each barrel fires a meson bomb that has several BFRed turrets.
-
what the hey.... how about the BFUBBBERed or whatever the heck it is?
-
Heck, why not the BFUBEROMGWTFBBQRed? :p
Trying to make a point here.
In all seriousness, make it fire Helioses. Deadly enough.
-
very true :nod:
-
Make it fire standard terran blob turrets..that should be more than enough considering the sheer number of barrels and ROF.
Kinda reminds me of my Retribution :D

LMFAO
-
Need to put another barrel in the middle or you could just drive an Orion up the middle of the Beam tunnel :P
-
:necro:
Even thoght not that much. I just wanted to use the beam.
-
Technically speaking, as a "true" Gatling gun (fires all barrels in sequence, each barrel is at the same point when fired) this wouldn't be very impressive. Even speaking optimally, the Max RoF of a "true" Gatling gun is limited by:
Distance Traveled per shot = (Circumference of Rotating Barrel)/(Number of firing points)
RoF = (Rotational Speed of Rotating Barrel)/(Distance Traveled per shot)
So this would have to rotate very fast in order to hit the max RoF. You'd be hard-pressed to see a benefit to this weapon.
That being said...
If this were not a "true" Gatling gun, it'd have slightly more potential. It could perhaps fire multiple shots at the same time. It'd be great fun to watch, but not very useful.
-
IIRC, Gatling guns are used because of one of the main limiting factors in ROF with a single barreled weapon: heat. The Gatling gun rotates, which allows air to cool the barrels between firing. If said gun is moving at 400 mph in a fighter while being fired, so much the better.

Yes, but there's no way a Gatling Gun would need a 1:512 heat:cooling ratio.
-
who cares about specifics, like dark hunter said, lets see that shreaded colossus
-
Gattling is alos used becosue if you have 7 barrels insted of one, each recives 1/7th part of the heat...anyway.
A gattling gun usually fires at 6000RPM's. Slower ones reach 3000, and hte fastest one I know is said to fire at 240000RPM's.
Let's assume the usual ROF. Given that the gun there is composed of 12 barrreled gat guns:
8x8x12 = 768 barrels !!!!!!!!!!
Which would put the rate of fire at...uuum...yikes :eek:
-
Yeah but the amount of ammo you need to carry would be ridiculous if you wanted to sustain fire for more than a few seconds. :nod: Cool model though :pimp: :yes:

Nearly as fast as a bexley / dartford / essex / abbey wood girl drops their knicckers LMAO

supposedly some russian one, GŠK-30 or something like that....Read about it, don't know if it's true, but it lookd authentic enough

True...but in that 5 seconds...teh sheer ammout of damage you could do....wow...it would be like: "What Sathanas fleet? All I see is debris..."
-
Look up Metal Storm.
-
ah yes, the metal storm. if i recall the pistol can fire off 3 shots before any recoil is felt. and about that gateling gun, according to your figures 184,320,000 RPM = pure pwnage
-
You'd need a friggin convoy train sticked full with ammo for that one...
"Command,get us some transport, we need to EVAC."
"Negative pilots...All available transports and freighters in the GTVA are ferrying ammo to the GTVRSAUGC* Massacre!"

Read it, it's interesting... the pistols are nice, but the 40mm guns are nicer. ;)
-
Yes, very interesting...
It has some limitations tough... Wonder how they handle heat management?
Immagine a fusion of this concept with a gattling gun - you'd get a absurd-ROF, lightweight, no catridge/shells , wide area suppresion weapon of DOOM(TM)
-
it's space, wouldn't the heat just disipate on it's own?
-
Through radiation, yes... but not through contact with coolant (air). You'd have to have a liquid cooling system, I think.
-
errection!
-
Yeah, when I linked to it, I probably should have pointed out this thread is kinda old. :nervous:
Although i'm quite surprised you never noticed it before, what with the very first post being:
It's awesome in a silly way. Nuke's gonna love it. :D
-
Very second post, you mean. :P
-
Well not really. You see, the first post isn't counted as a post. Correct me if i'm wrong, but when you post a thread, the post count is at 0. Hence, the first post indicates the first response.

**** it, I can't come up with a Spock-like answer.

i never visit the art forum :D

Actually, the response count is at zero. Take that.

the sathanas has this big empty space in between its arms...lets stick it there! :p
