When Arsenal was slated to come out, I mentioned a few weapons that I saw on the show Futureweapons. The technology out today as far as weapons are concerned is pretty amazing, and I thought some of it would be awesome in SR4.

Well, I checked Arsenal, and the Metal Storm weapons do exist, as I had hoped, their appearance left me disappointed. See, the Metal Storm type of gun uses an electric pulse to launch the ammunition, and the ROF for the weapon is freaking insane.

When I checked the rules on recoil for the weapon in SR, they gave it the same recoil penalty as a normal weapon. This was a shame, since the entire point to the MS weapon is that the recoil doesn't come until after you've already emptied the clip.
