+doesnt cost 400'000 dolars to fire for 12 seconds (cause it can fire literary anything that can be magnetized.)

@Entertainment Hexahedron
this is in fact a coilgun not a railgun.... While the principle is similar, there are a few differences... for example.... railgun uses 2 rails.... the coilgun on the other hand uses ...u guessed it.... a coil... and has a potential to surpass the railguns... And railguns as well as coilguns can fire multiple projectiles... as in one after another, like convetional weapons.... dont know how... but i've seen it.

I've made a coilgun myself, had to do reaserch on it for school and actually tricked my physics teacher into letting me make one since my chemistry teacher wasnt gonna let me make explosives XD. Wanted to make a coilgun because of its ability to shoot stuff and a small chance of death since it used somewhere around 300V capacitors, not because of reaserching stuff XD.

Im sure there are other key differences, but thats what i found during my high school physics reaserch.

It's a coilgun, so that means that it can fire anything that can be magnetized, and wont have a muzle flash.... most likely
The pros here could be:
-Can fire any piece of metal, that can be magnetized (maybe he has metal just like the engineer, instead of ammo?)
- No muzzle flash (can still have sound from that spin thing, also sound could be quite interesting from the capacitors charging)
-Projectiles fly alot faster, and further and are more accurate, as the potential of a coilgun is theoretically greater then that of a railgun (and modern railguns can accelerate projectiles at hypersonic speads.. (mach 7 if i remember..)
Cons
-doesnt work underwater
-can run out of power (or owerheat), then it needs to be recharged.
-slower movement speed (possibly heavier then minigun)
-slower deployment speed (needs time to charge the capacitors)
- +X% demage penalty (couldnt think of a specific number...)

I don't think a single one of you actually knows what this is supposed to be.
An electromagnetic coil gun, A.K.A. a rail gun fires projectiles by accelerating them with electromagnets. They are very quiet compared to regular artillery and fired projectile's velocity is MUCH HIGHER than normal. Then again, only one projectile can be fired at a time with a rail gun. Here's stats that I think would make sense.

Pros:
Silent spin-up
65% faster spin-up
50% increased projectile speed
40% increased damage penalty
40% more accurate

Cons:
50% slower switch speed
-60% fire rate
No Random Crits
Crits become Mini-crits
-50% max ammo on user

O SHIT, A GAUSS MINIGUN,
waut is this fallout tactics [like 2 ppl will get this joke,]

yes a lazer heavy weapon!!!

Doesn't require ammo fires tiny bolts of high speeed energy

Oh yeah, i almost forgot to add some other stats
-Cannot be crit boosted
-While deployed, Heal rate from medics are reduced by 25%

Stats
+On Hit: Ignites enemy for 1 second
+15% Faster barrel spin
+No speed loss when deployed
-Makes a very loud barrel spin noise
-50% damage penalty
-No random critical hits
Think this is good? if not, then you should try to make different stats.

This would be a great complement to the sci-fi weapons already available to other classes, like the Cow Mangler and the Pomson. Might be a little late to the fray, but it would still fit well into the kinda 50-60's esque theme, especially if it was a tab bit more colourful!

Please look at this, it's perfect for your weapon:

Cool vacuum cleaner!

Apropriately bulky and goofy Soviet space tech. Fits TF2 like a glove.

cool minigan

it should fire a LAZER BEAM

Or wait, instead of only one target it should be chain lightning to multiple players i guess, you can do that too. sorry for multiple post i couldn't edit and i can't make my mind up ever, also think about it being clipped (reload electric charges) like the alien swarm tesla cannon. I just really want it to be like the Tesla Cannon from alien swarm because that's my favourite weapon and i'd play heavy more often if it came to life like one

why do people think all space guns are laser guns, play alien swarm for once for sake, it's a COIL gun, there's a tesla cannon that shoots electric voltage power at aliens in aliem swarm, I was hoping this would be like this with stats such as:
Can only target one player
Auto aims due to magnetism
Close range only (electric waves don't reach to the end of the world, unless it's laser but that's heat not electromagnetism)
15% more damage
25% faster fire rate
25% less ammo
Doesn't have to be deployed for use (it'll be the first minigun for that, or just make the deploy time really low because it's a coil gun not a minigun)
No knockback

my opinion would be increased accuracy and ammo capacity, but reduced damage and knockback

-75% fire rate
+25% damage
+25% accuracy
-50% ammo
-3 damage per second while spun up, from the radiation.

It looks like it should shoot laser beams! And on crits it catches enemies on fire!

nah

would make a great natascha skin!

How about a whole Cosmonaut Set? Space helmet, This gun, and another cosmetic clothes changer. Just a thought. Like the mini-gun look.

@rhou17 The Tomislav is not a minigun, so that puts a dent in your logic doesnt it?

The only real problem with this is that both the Tau cannon and modern railguns don't fire like a minigun. While it probably IS a "heavy weapon", it's not a minigun. It's up to Valve if they'd allow a non-minigun.

the vacuum cleaner thats shoots bullets

o haha l love it
