Explanation for the Nex

[TVR]

The following explanation will replace the current explanation of the Nex on the official Nexuiz Wiki.

Previously theorized to have magnetically fired antimatter at supersonic speeds, a brilliant physician noted the inherent factual flaws between such theory and actual effects in practise. The most viable explanation as of yet, states that the Nex is a relativistic in nature, magnetically slinging a minute number of charged particles at a velocity approaching c. At a relativistic velocity, particles are capable of catastrophic destruction of entire molecule chains, emitting a burst of high energy radiation in the process. The trails have been best explained as the result of intense friction caused by relativistic particles, instantaneously converting nearby particles into quickly dissipating plasma.

This description may be useful (means understandable) native english speakers or at least comparable skills. I'm not so sure however if all natively english speaking persons would understand. Aint there a way to describe the Nexgun in a less academical way?

How about just "Gib-liberating raygun"

[The mysterious Mr. 4m]

i see no reason why there shouldn't be both, a short description (for the less-interested) and a thorough explanation (for the geeks).

Its using Magnetism to accelerate energy particles, isnt it ?
thats what the weapon looks like in 2.4 ...
in 2.3 it looked like some kind of tesla gun ...

Iirc the Nexgun was (is?) a weapon that ejects two thin electrical cords that are loaded with a very high voltage. At the moment the cords hit their target, the circuit is closed and the target vapourizes.

Wasn't that something like this?

Don't tase me, bro, don't tase me!

It doesn't accelerate the particles, it just moves the entire universe around them in the opposite direction.

A physician? That's a medical doctor... Hah!




You want to say "physicist"




Oh, well, that could be a physician too, but... Mh
