So I'm curious about the two man-portable laser weapons from Arsenal, the Ares Redline pistol and the Ares MP Laser 3 assault rifle.
Now, it clearly states they can mount Underbarrel and Top accessories, but can you also mod these particular weapons? Of course certain mods don't apply if the weapon doesn't fire bullets, but still, in particular I'm curious about... Firing Selection Change? - Yes, you'd use an entire clip in one shot on FA, but that could easily be worth it. Extended Clip? - Specially optimized and more efficient power clips seem reasonable. Smartgun System? - Would this be standard anyway? Laser Sight? - Would this even work? Silencer / Surpressor? - Are laser weapons silent to begin with? Are they visible? Are they sustained beams, or discrete "blasts"? Would a Thermal Supressor work at least? ~Umidori |
