I See a Bright Future for this...

...A Bright, Bright, Death Filled Future
Now then, Opinions. So Far? Eeeeeh. Love the Airburst, but, I Find it To Spread out and underpowered, IMO. Tested on Tutorial, No so good against the troops, and Called in a Drop ship. Took two or so clips to take down:P Still, Fun little Weapon, and I'm Eager for More:D

The bullet's airburst needs to be more tailored to its target, try to get roughly man-sized spread over the 2.5m and possibly add some more shrapnel, that should be enough to bump up its power to the levels they should be at vs infantry.

Try uploading the .gif to tinypic.

Thanks for the responses guys.
creating an anti-aircraft (HE) version: The Mk2
and
Tweaking explosive spread
Cheers!

EDIT: Re-uploaded with fixed spread and a new weapon!

I've Upped the power on all the weapons, try the new version. Then review it please
cheers


EDIT: Sorry, Geti.

First and foremost, this is a forum, not IM, please use proper english (you've got the time to type please here, and it makes reading your posts tolerable).

On the mod: I feel the secondary explosions take away some of the feel of the airburst, especially on the infantry version.. But that's more of an opinion thing than anything. If you must keep the explosive fragments, at least give them a smoke trail..

I actually think that the wide spread "Flak cannon" style anti aircraft cannon is very nice; especially with the massive explosions that ensue.

Re-updated with another new weapon.
this time hopefully Geti will like it, (p.s i don't know how to make a trail for a fragment. Sorry)
It has your name sake, Geti.

Hahah, cool. I'll test it once I can play CC, it's not working in WINE for me at the moment..
to do an easy smoke trail you can do something like
commented for clarity, though you'll want to look at it out of that code box.

Major success.
All weapons updated to have the smoke trails. Uploading now!
Thanks Geti
EDIT: Finished Upload, try it out!

EDIT: Finished a Flak cannon design - Uploading Tomorrow

Great gun! Nice capabilities, but there are two things I've noticed:

1. In the heat of battle, one's shots are not always perfect. As such, I find myself occasionally firing an entire clip at a craft or something just to see the small, original projectile flying past the ship, and that being the end of that.Much if this is likely due to my not-so-amazing accuracy, but I think it's just something to consider.

2. I always keep killing myself. Using the Mark I GETI, even with one of those resilient DarkStorm people, I fired it at about half screen length and a piece of shrapnel fired back, cleanly decapitating my guy.

Other than that, all three guns are major loads of fun, especially on flat zone

Sorry,
but i believe the weapon should not detonate if it does not have a target, and there should be some bounce back from the shrapnel. After all that is what makes it less of a god weapon and more "realistic".
Thanks for the comment though

(pyrokwah here, didn't like last name as much as this one, picked new one)

I didn't mean it like that , I fully support what you've done and how the gun works, I was just stating some things I noticed. Like I said, I did have pretty bad accuracy (not used to this touchpad) and I cant seem to replicate the latter effect, must've just been a lucky shot.

I decided to make a sine - cannon version with semi-dumb missiles, for less attentive aiming, hope you enjoy.
(sorry about the outburst before, it's my first mod and I'm pretty stubborn , sorry again)

New one looks interesting, but you should really be posting bigger .gifs, those are just thumbnails..
