Yay better than a "No."

Gama rays are photons, Beta emissions are hydrogen atoms, if memory serves. (Or are they a single proton?)

Alpha Ray: protons
Beta Ray: helium atom cores
Gamma Ray: photons

Really? I guess an AK-47 has 30, too, but all the FPS's I've played (all 3 of them...) gave 50-60 shots in a magazine, and the ability to carry 5 or so magazines.

They're games. Not reality.

...And this isn't?

According to Wikipedia, a normal box magazine stores up to 40 bullets, depending on its type.
also, the Steyr AUG can hold a 42-bullet mag., but I think that´s pretty much the limit if you don´t use a drum- or disk-magazine.

Which makes you wonder whether this rifle fires bullets or light. That's an important consideration.

It is an Austrian rifle. They´re supposed to be awesome.

I meant the science fiction assault rifle we've been discussing, not he Steyr AUG.

It doesn't matter whether it's light or whatever. You know what I'm saying. Are we talking about physical projectiles or some kind of energy bolt?

Oh... I was already wondering...

Battlegame can't even be approximated.

We did this in science about 3 weeks ago.
