A projectile weapon should be a standard weapon for all Starships incase they are in a environment that renders Phaser weapons useless.

Keep up the good work and keep those updates coming on this project!
I agree and disagree! in a situation where a Phaser wouldn't work is also the place that an EM weapon wouldn't work. Where as a projectial weapon is very reliable (see the past 100 years or so, and yes i know it goes farther back then that but the last 100 years the design has changed little)

As for the desgin... um... kinda messed up, i have all my scales wrong, i was using 1/2 for the Di of the barrel but 2/1 for the length... so it looks out of wack... working on it now...

This is a P90 ish type weapon, i am going to rework this as well but i think i will keep the basic desgin.
