All these guns and no railgun?

[Para The Yipper]

Im actualy suprised that there is no railgun in this game and no the lanka is not a railgun

[Walrus-Sama]

Does the Orbital Defense MAC's from Halo count as a Railgun?

If I recall the projectile weighs like 3000 tons, fired at a velocity of 12000 kilometers per second. Big Ouch.

Might be too big to carry though.

It uses Rails or Coils, or the power of Doritos?

You . . .you know that there's nothing particularly special about a rail gun, right? I mean its a projectile launcher. There's no special look to it or anything. It would literally, be just a bit of flavor text in the weapon info box.

Lanka, by definition, is not a Railgun.

Railgun: An electromagnetic catapult designed to hurl projectiles at extremely high speeds
Lanka: Fires a High velocity projectile through magnetic induction
Velocitus: Accelerates a metal slug to tremendous speeds when its magnetised barrel is fully charged
...

Lanka is a Gauss weapon - a magnetic weapon. A railgun is an electric weapon. They use the same base principle but make it happen in two different ways.

And to go with my point - what difference does it make to have the Lanka written up to be a Gauss weapon? It could be powered by 'gravity' in the text and that would have no effect on what the weapon does in-game.

A gun that is locked behind 10 days of bordom (Fortuna rank)

Its not? You can buy the parts for 10P each if youre not with the right syndicates and the BPs from the market console

By that definition, the Lanka is a railgun (electric), and the Velocitus is a gauss rifle (magnetic)

Glad to see that's all settled

Thats not it 10 days for me to max my tuna rank to get to use the archguns in normal missions, tuna is boring as hell

Oh yeah, I never bothered with fortuna besides coming back for the Opticor Vandal as I found it to be complete ass, so pardon my ignorance

[Dundo]

Snipetron by definition.

10 days?That's a bit.. long.Try doing conservations , they yield a lot of standing for basically nothing.I recommend Kubrodons myself.

It should be, it should be a "hitscan" weapon with massive punchthrough, thats how would a railgun act IRL.

So, the Snipetron, then? Seriously, that's what that is. Warframe technology is all gobbledygook, anyway.

Bullets don't travel instantaneously the way hitscan in videogames work.
