How do Fusion Rifles work?
Hey all,
Does anyone have any ideas how Fusion Rifles work? Because they are powered by a battery and it's not specified whether the battery is just a big power cell or whether the battery has both a power cell and a Helium-3 fusion fuel cell.

Edited by Stormhawk118: 6/22/2016 9:14:12 PMTheyre obviously plasma weapons, so I would imagine they have a plasma resevoir within themselves or in the battery, and the battery not only provides the plasma, but the energy accelerant to fire it off as a projectile The electrical charge you see within the gun may be caused by a powerful magnetic field used to shape the energy coming out of the barrel, in which case, their liquid energy may be ferrous, meaning all fusion rifles are technically small scale rail guns, this would explain sleeper simulant's significant difference from other rifles

2 RepliesI think that they have a miniature particle accelerator on board that grabs holds of small pieces of matter and accelerates them until they become plasma, at which point it redirects the particles and sequentially releases them along a magnetic confinement barrel. They source both their power and their physical ammo from "special ammo" which is a form of programmable matter/energy obtained either through specialised synthesis or battlefield scavenging processes. Slow charging high impact fusions convert more of their ammo to matter and so have smaller battery capacity but fire higher impact plasma bolts. Sleeper Simulant operates in a similar fashion but instead of accelerating large chunks of matter to form plasma bolts it accelerates large quantities of smaller particles to extremely high speeds and releases them as a constant particle beam. This requires more energy to do therefore it requires a larger programmable matter source called "heavy ammo".

2 RepliesWell it says they operate on plasma. And from my halo days, covenant plasma weaponry ran on ionized hydrogen fluoride. There was a liquid form of that chemical in some part of the weapon and the plasma was led out and toward the enemy by a magnetic bottle(not an actual bottle but a sort of magnetic field). But this mechanism led to it being inaccurate. I'm going to assume fusion rifles operate a different way. They all have barrels. It might draw in air from the surrounding area and use that as fuel which could be possible as we see lightning and energy jump from the receiver, which could most likely be energy escaping and ionizing the air around the weapon. There's also a vacuum-like movement at the end of the barrel when charging. But this mechanism would seem kind of unreliable as you go from planet to planet with most likely different atmospheres. I doubt that it uses a magnetic field as it would be hard to control all of those shots at a single time. So I'm guessing that it either has fuel in the magazine you reload or takes in air from the surrounding area, energized it, and spews it all out with the barrel giving it some resemblance of accuracy.

1 ReplyI assume it is basically a laser [spoiler]a laser that sometimes has ceramic jacketed skip rounds and which somehow benefits from a rifled barrel[/spoiler]

The battery operates the Flux Capacitor. Once the battery is drained you just replace it with a new one.

I don't know but they need to be nerfed!

Just Google it. I'm sure someone has already built one in their garage.

Works like a burny shooty ouchy thing.

1 ReplyYep they run 4x AAA BATTERIES. For good fusions use Energizer. Home brand batteries usually result in a negative kd. Hope that helps bud

Point, aim and squeeze that trigger to shoot. No not your foot son

Fusion Rifle instructions: Aim weapon Hold trigger until the weapon fires If the bullets miss, repeat steps 1 and 2. Experiences may vary with exotic fusion rifles.

If we knew how they worked we could build them now? Its a game. Does it realky matter how it works?

4 RepliesPull trigger.

More than likely a power cell that energizes air and compresses the ionized gas into a torriod before discharging the torriods down the barrel.

1 ReplyDo not touch the operational end of the device. Do not look directly into the operational end of the device. Do not submerge the device, even partially.
