I meant infinite ammo, because ballistic weaponry is meant to be limited by material, if you can recharge it, that means infinite bullets.

Bullet's that stick in the wound.

Have you ever had like TWO in you? You take like ten damage every five steps. Try being filled with them.

And because all the things that can create other things use material for materials, or are the size of a small car, (Autolathe, Chem dispenser). Having a pocket sized gun that can make ammo with electricity means we should have chem dispensers that you can carry around, or...some other dumb nonsense.

Going with Nik, great concept, awesome ideas, but i don't think it is either needed, or especially useful in game, though it could be used in very specific events, and it would be nice to have spawnable to admins if they wanted to get in and turn a griefer to paste.

Today, in the early 21st Century, we're able to do magnificent things when it comes to materials manipulation. Screens that can be bent and rolled up like the Sunday newspaper, pens that can literally write in thin air (LIX on Kickstarter), 3D printers that are the size of tablets. We also have made many, many advances in the development of new weaponry (or what I like to call, "How to blow people up, fill them full of holes, and char their body beyond recognition before they hit the floor"). So, is it REALLY farfetched to say that in four hundred forty-two years from now that we'd be able to create a gun (a very expensive one, mind you) that can create its own ammunition?

Knew I was wrong.

But otherwise, if be damned if this was a civilian weapon. Even if it looks rad.

Here's a question. Why do we need yet another thing that people will use to kill other people instead of roleplaying?

Alsoalso, the argument against rechargeable ballistic weapons is silly.

Hacked autolathe. Revolver rounds. Three shots to hard crit. Seven per box. Seven fit in your internals box. 49 rounds plus 7 in the gun. 56 rounds total. Rough estimation of 18 people killable with bullets alone, and that's pumping 180 brute into each, which is honestly unnecessary. Actual numbers killable are somewhere in the high 20s when mixed with chance decapitations and brute-damage finishers. Two backpack slots. Production costs easily met and then some by metal lying around in science or in the QM, which is where the autolathes are.

Protolathe. SMG rounds. 7 bullets to hard-crit. 36 per box. 252 for one internals box. 18 in the gun for 270 total. Enough bullets for between 38 and 39 people. Two backpack slots. Production costs in silver add up to less than half a bar.

Armoury. Laser rifle. 4 lasers to hard-crit. 20 per laser. Does not fit in internals box. Does not fit in backpack. Enough lasers to send 5 people into hard crit. Cannot be recharged on-the-go. Must find a charger.

I don't know if you understand this, but the bullet synthesizer is actually a drawback. If you have any of the two currently available ballistic weapons and about five minutes, you will not conceivable run out of bullets until after you've shot up the whole station and half an hour later you're bored and shooting windows open because bullets. Even if your aim is horrendous. Energy weapons need to be conserved. You can't reload them anywhere. You can't carry half as many shots with you.

Being frightened of theoretically infinite bullets is absurd. Because people with a very finite amount of bullets can kill you and everyone else just fine already. And their finite amount is more portable and more accessible than the theoretically infinite.

I still think the rechargable bullets is silly. Like Nik said, all other stuff we have that can make stuff is not easily moveable. Now you wanna put it in a (rather large) pistol? Taking away the space that'd be needed for the barrel and the different components and all that, how big is this little bullet maker actually gonna be? Size of a cell phone? Hot damn. Also, don't these things STILL need materials? Its basic physics, peepul. Something can't come from nothing. And if you're gonna go and tell me "lul no it usez de powar to mek de bullets" you're fucking retarded. The power is (naturally) used to keep the whatever it is that makes the bullets running. But now stuff like this (autolathe, protolathe etc) need basic stuff like metal and glass and shit.

As gollee said, even the chem fabricator is using some sort of base material to then create chemicals.

This is just NOT viable for in game use by civilians. It's heavily overpowered compared to any ballistic or laser weapon, due to it not requiring anything more then a battery and a charger to fire EXPLOSIVE rounds.

Yeah, the design and code is cool, but if we added every thing thats been coded in for civilian use, we'd have alien rocket launchers, M1911A-B Destroyer pistols and Grenade launchers lying around.

It would probably not even be useful for the ERT, because the ERT's MAIN staple is ballistic weapons, so that they dont have to hunt down a recharge port when they run out of ammo while shooting at a wizard.

Make it an artifact, or a crate drop, thats super rare. 

Make it hidden on the derelict, inside a fake room.

Anything that makes it really hard to find, or difficult to acquire, and I'm alright with it being in game somewhere.
