Hellmouth double flamer, Hurricane double Gatling

James T. Kirk:
Every game has its flaws and gaps in logic.

Why don't the Seals in CoD just bring in a tank from the beginning and wipe the floor with the other team?

Why does the Australium elevator in TF2 move so slowly?

Why doesn't Conner die from falling from so high in Assassin's Creed, even if he does land in a bail of hay?

There are a million and a half "If video games were real" videos on YouTube, and they are fairly entertaining. The overlying joke is, if video games followed the rules in real life, they would be stupid and no fun.


When it comes down to it, it's a game.
And a game that's no fun has no point in being played.


HOWEVER, that doesn't mean your ideas are broken.
It just needs a little (here comes that word) balancing.

Anyone remember Star Wars: Battlefront 2?
Really? Just me?
Okay.
Well, there was a class in that game called the "Clone Commander." He had a heavy gatling gun that could rip through the enemy droids like nobody's business.
However, this gun had downsides.
One, it was HUGELY inaccurate, only able to kill things from the sheer output of bullets.
Two, it took a while to spin up. Not Heavy's gun from TF2 spin up, where you can push a button to get it ready.
This gun's firing button and spin-up button were one in the same, causing you to waste ammo and give away your position if you tried to spin it up early.

If we were to implement a Heavy Gatling Gun here, it would have to be inaccurate (so it couldn't be a sniper with the Heavy Flak) and take about 5 seconds or so to spin up (so surprise attacks would be viable to take them down).

That's just my take on things.

Echoez:
I think the best you could put as a heavier version of the gatling is something akin to the WWII Anti-Air guns, so not realy a gatling and it would need a long reload time, it would start firing slowly and then pick up the pace and it would have to be balanced around heavy clip as well cause we all know everyone brings that and how the Gatling became a raygun with bullets. It could also use the same shells the Mercury does with an arming time, so if you are too close the 'explosive' rounds don't go off so you lose a crap top of damage. And since it would be raycast, lesmok, heatsink and the like wouldn't work on it, so no arming range changes.

Gatling guns are so effective as is- adding a medium Gatling wouldn't be fun... I believe that no one would ever have armor in a match that contains one. If it was made extremely inaccurate or had spin up time... then there'd just be ramming Goldfish that go point blank to blast them down. I think the topic shouldn't be about another Gatling... but instead, about another, unique piercing weapon that doesn't replicate another gun's shooting style.

Zenark:
I heard someone say ballista earlier.
A sort of medium gun harpoon without a rope. Kinda hard to aim, one shot before reload, maybe even have some mass to it so the giant bolt gives a little push.

I was just putting an idea out there, I don't realy want an other raygun armor stripper tbh, I just like theorycrafting x3

On that note, you have already established that Piercing = Bullets with the Mercury and the Gatling and if not that, then a Harpoon, but the Harpoon is not made to actually deal out punishment.

Having a single shot Heavy Mercury, despite looking and being awesome, would probably be as bad as a heavy Gatling and if you don't have that, then what? A Ballista? Same thing as the giant Mercury tbh, you just launch a giant arrow instead of a shell. Never mind the sillyness that Lochnagar would be on such a gun. It would need to be incredibly difficult to shoot and heavily penalized for close range engagement, to a point of, why even include it?
