    • Kinetic weaponry will be with us for hundreds of years yet - only difference I can see is smaller projectiles on electric rails.. *perhaps*detritus
    • I mean, unless some nooPhysX comes along to disrupt the predicted order of things...detritus
    • Yeah, projectile weapons are efficient and cost effective. Railguns are the next delicious step - firing *any* object at ballistic speeds.face_melter
    • One of my favorite William Gibson pieces is from Count Zero I think - a railgun is used to destroy a research facility by throwing 150kg of ice at it.face_melter
    • ha! one of my all-time favourite weapons (from either Eagle or Starblazer) was a gun that fired icicles, so the projectile melted before it could be analysed..detritus
    • Also, another (unrelated) old favourite..

    • Oh shit! Starblazer! I think I know the issue you mean as well. With the blind private detective guy. Top comic.face_melter
