Did is as an outgrowth of the question I posted earlier, and to see what could be done.
-
I tried this for my Twin Sons AU system I found that the easiest way to use them was rocket launchers and hand held weapons for firepower built in weapons I found cause more problems than I cared for
-
I was trying to build a Stinger clone but had to bump the weight to make it work.
Dragon Cat - your solutions work well but I was going more for a security or non frontline use. Something that you'd let a commercial entity use to protect their assets, or intimidate the locals, without letting them use something that would be a legitimate threat to the powers that be.
-
How about a hand held main gun - machine gun for example. Then either an SRM launcher with tear gas or smoke ammo or grenade launchers for defence
Main thing I consider with fuel cell designs is use weapons with minimal heat
My designs that were on forum seem to have disappeared but ill look them out
