Artemis v Banshee
Alistair MacBain:
Banshee is close to midrange.
In theory it has a big enough range (round 800-1k) but the spread is pretty high so you dont want to use it against junkers or squids on longer ranges.
obliviondoll:
The French argument doesn't apply because Artemis is the name of a Greek Goddess, and not derived from French at all.
Sources confirm that Artemis is a non-standard feminine noun. Unfortunately, that makes it difficult to define how to convert it into plural, particularly since, as the name of a Goddess, it is intended to function as a standalone singular word without needing a plural form.
That said, many feminine nouns in Greek end in "is" in a common singular form. The plural form usually replaces this with "es".
The following are words derived from either Latin or Greek where the singular ends in "is", listed with their plural forms:
Axis -> Axes
Crisis -> Crises
Nemesis -> Nemeses
Genesis -> Geneses
Artemes seems like the logical and probably correct assumption.

Observing the natural evolution of words, Mes will become mis.

Holy shit, I'm sold. Artemes is the plural.
Replaceable:
Yep seems good to me. Although Artemis Light Rocket Launchers seems good to me still too...
