 The Tokomak is really only for fusion- plasma is just very very hot gas, so in that gun you'd have to have some kind of heating device and magnetic containment fields, plus magnetic acceleration coils etc. In fact, it'd need a hella high amount of energy.

the tokamak is needed to contain the plasma.

the idea in initiating fusion is that the plasma fusing in the tokamak generator produces more power than is needed to confine it.

I cant possibly see how it would work in a handgun..by far the best idea ive yet seen is the heated plastic plasma gun from deus ex...which would be a big, fat brute anyway.

i can imagine some kind of disposable bullet that vapourises itself on launch..but that wouldnt go straight, air resistance would make it wobble around.

arrgh!
im thinking too much!

bullet pistol maybe?

In the FS cutscenes we see projectile based weaponry with grenade launchers used. (no the Shivan does not explode as Mr. Adam Pletcher has said)

Remind you, that this is before FS1.

The Ruteger is a standard pistol type weapon firing it's projectile at an extremely high velocity.

Remember that it is technology several hundred years beyond ours, and it's a very high powered weapon.

As for the bullets themselves, they're sleek and designed for maximum penetration and areodynamics, the material is more then likely a form of degenerate matter such as crushed molybdenum.

These details aren't as important though, and folks like Ornaj, Plaz, and myself are still working them out through heated arguements whether Vasudans carpet their rooms with tongues or army boots

Must have a kick like a mule......

Yeah, so it'll go through people and hit whatever's behind the target. Ping!

Nice!    

We could port it to Shock when it's finished. Just have to lower that poly count down to... 3.
