Weapons of the future
In the world of Rome's Revolution, there are many weapons based upon the technology of the 35th century and others that are based upon technology which we know about today. Yesterday's post described one such weapon, the laser pulse rifle. However there are many more weapons described in the books. Here is a brief summary:
Vuduri:
-Plasma Pistol - small PPT Generator-driven hand weapon - shoots controllable (adjustable) beam of plasma. Since it uses Casimir Pumps at its core, it essentially never runs out of fuel
-PPT Thrower/Rifle - PPT Throwers can be adapted into deadly weapons
-Electrostatic Charge Disrupters - basically they throw lightning bolts at objects
-Magnetic Pulse Cannons - EMP shaped pulse cannons. Reduces anything electronic to smoking ruins
Erklirte/Essessoni:
-Particle Beam Cannon - Drilling rigs convert to particle beam cannons. They vaporize large swatchs of ground.
- Laser Pulse Rifle - Powerful laser rifles. They do not emit a continuous beam, rather short bursts of far more powerful laser light.
-Flamethrowers - These were selected because the fuel for them could be frozen for many centuries and when thawed, still be volatile and effective.
-Mini-nukes - Small atom bombs. Tactical in nature. Yield is just three tenths of a kiloton of explosive power.

-Vorasdock - actually just M4 Carbine rifles stored in perfect conditions for 600 years
MINIMCOM:
-PPT Thrower/Cannon - In The Ark Lords, MINIMCOM adapted his "roadgrader" PPT Throwers to become cannons. They could level a square kilometer in under one second.
-"Weaponized" VIRUS Units - special version of VIRUS units that can communicate with Rome and Rei. They use a hierarchical management structure with the supervisory units referred to as "queens." These units can operate within an oxygen atmosphere.

You might think that from these descriptions that I am a violent person. I assure you I am not. However, weapons are a fact of life (2001: A Space Odyssey featured a bone as shown above) so I just figured that as technology advanced, so would weapon design.
