"I'm working on a similar thing for the CAR2. W... What if they shared the same rail type? Parts changing across we... Wait, have you heard about the CAR2?"

From all the time I spend in your shop? Nope... But I must say, I HAVE been in my shop and the field more than yours lately... Go one then, explain it to me...
OOC: Raiden actually being techical in this thoughts is kinda scary when you look at it... I know I created him, but he still scares the pants off me...

"Simpler, more accurate design. The magazine is a lot closer to the trigger. And the cocking lever is on the side, not the top, so you have better sights. And the rail thing, I guess."

Kinda like the long-barrel idea I've got... Got any of those in field-test condition yet?

"No. Still building, sorry." It wasn't assembled, even...

Typical... Do you want to know how long I've actually planned on making a ranged weapon from the same base unit as the wrist blades?

"Uh... Sure?" Wrist-mounted... Sounds useful... Not paws-free when you have the trigger, though.

Without a method of actually FIRING, it sat on the "ideas" list for about eight years...

"Oh, well, here's to compressed air forcing the mainspring back into place in a method much like the CAR's piston." Eight years?... Ow.

Yup... And to a relatively sane mouse's idea that was a no-go for eight years that is becoming a reality...

To a wrist unit? Kind defeats the object of the wrist bit, but the long barrel modual would need one... Another large drawing board of ideas for that one...

"It'd just be the original frame, so you don't need a new action. That implies you could add a pistol grip and the like to detach it from your wrist if you wanted."

... You might be onto something there... One of the modules could be a single-barreled deal with the pistol grip and the option to do the detachment, which leaves your wrist free for stuff like shields.

"And then you have a weapon that can go from sidearm to rifle with the same action... Good for the elite fighter."
