Spoiler: First of all, here's the old sprites i made for the OLD version of Netronian ChaosĬredits: Noob Industries from įuture-O-Tech Not-So-Terrible Sniper RifleĬredits: Apocalyptic Studios from Ĭredits: 586 Studios from and special thanks to Sgt. Make sure you credit me and them before using! If you want to know more about the source of some of them, please contact me! (Some of my works you're looking for might be removed because of poor crediting and etc)Įnough talk, and let's get right into it! Each Spoilers contain Snapshot Sprites, Frankensprites (for those who don't know, it's a sprite work after conjoining bits and pieces from the others.), and Custom or Edited Sprites: Each original resources belong to the respectable authors and developers. Every snapshot sprites and frankensprites are all credited. I usually take a screenshot from model sharing website or modding community or even make sprites from scratch. The IRL stuff and overall doom modding really held me back from updating it.Īnyways this is the Graphical Resource Thread for all your Visual needs and Thread-Spelunking for a good luck. Special thanks to Gothic for a reminder, actually.
#XRG RAIL GUN UPDATE#
After all these years i couldn't concentrate on the update of this old, barely-credited, messy resource thread. AND ALWAYS CHECK OUT THE SPRITES AT OP! The ones at the Old replies are absolutely Obsolete.Īlso you will have to click on images for clear and high quality display. This is probably an impractical use for a rail gun, but it would be interesting nonetheless.LARGE THREAD SIZE ALERT! Open the Spoilers at your own risk. All I can imagine is a rail gun on a ship firing artillery payloads at high speeds. I wonder if rail gun technology would make for a good stealth weapon delivery system. I would have never thought that there would have been working prototypes. I have always thought that a rail gun was purely a futuristic weapon in science fiction movies and video games. This type of rail gun would surely be a formidable force if mounted on a ship, and the lack of explosives would improve safety. It could also send projectiles at approaching ships very close to the surface of the water, and without a heat signature, tearing open a hull in seconds. The shell would release the shrapnel just before impact, sending molten cubes of tungsten flying through body and structure at Mach 5. The gun would be able to fire a tungsten shrapnel round 250 nautical miles in 7 minutes. It could use electricity generated by the ship's nuclear reactor, storing it in a capacitor to be used to fire the gun. The office Naval Research has a great diagram of how a rail gun would work mounted on a ship. The article pointed out the many benefits of rail gun technology, and the Navy would love to exploit these advantages. The Navy is pursuing rail gun technology for both long range and short range applications. January 13, Fiorite- I wouldn't be surprised if you soon find a rail gun on a nuclear powered naval craft. There are no guidance chip sets that can handle a 40g acceleration, and the sheer velocity of the projectile makes it nearly impossible to hit targets oriented on a slope reverse of the direction of the projectile. There are some very important tactical shortcomings of a rail gun as well. The other problem with these guns is the speed of the projectile. Finding a way to dissipate the heat will be important. The gun would also have a very high heat signature and would expel a very large electric flare from the muzzle. The prototype tungsten rounds that you speak of cost upwards of ten thousand dollars apiece. The cost of maintaining the weapon will likely be one of the biggest obstacles. January 14, Framemaker- a US Navy Electro-magnetic rail gun would be a formidable weapon, but the navy has identified a few very crucial shortcomings of the technology.
