Weapons design

[iSuck]

I know this is about weapon looks, not function, of weapons, but I was thinking (I saw "lightning gun" somewhere and thought: Why isn't there a taser?

I'm not suggesting the melee weapon that you poke people with to stun them, I mean a gun that shoots a continuous stream of electricity at a target and sucks their health (and only health-it wouldn't be blocked by armor anyway) at an exponential rate. There are some games with this already, including

Tribes (1,2,3): ELF (ElectroMagnetic Field) projector, it only sucks jetpack energy, but has the same basic concept.

Metroid Prime Hunters: Shock coil, does damage at exponential rate, and leeches to give energy to the user.

If this was implemented, the range would have to be around 15 feet (relative to game), and it should have mild homing capabilities (ie: if you're shooting a stream at them and the move slightly off your crosshair, you keep damaging them within a vicinity of your aim)

Also, who really uses the crylink? If we really can only have nine weapons, please overwrite this one for a better one (see above )

ROFL!!!

lol. I love the hairdryer.

After a while, I think the weapons get kinda old. There's not too many weapons, and the designs look pretty fake. If anything in the game looks nice and detailed, it should be the gun. (It's in the foreground, and is right in front of your eyes)

All of the weapons should be redesigned for future versions. The function/name and stats can all stay the same, but I think the actual designs should be changed. (More weapons, maybe?)
