Frost Cannon [Mod Contest Entry: Ice]
This is a little charging weapon that I made for the modding competition. It's a charging weapon that freezes anything it touches.
It damages the first target it touches due to the extreme cold. However, it quickly heats up and merely freezes any actor it touches afterwards. The new version of this gun shoots even colder bullets that damage all enemies it touches! A few images for those of you who need to see them:

I did intend to make an animation for the weapon to indicate what level of charge it is at. Unfortunately, I couldn't figure out how to change the frame of an HDFirearm using Lua...
