nailgun assault rifle. Like a slow-firing assault rifle shooting solid shotgun slugs at a battle rifle range
this idea reminds me of the fallout 3 railway rifle...
Yeah, it's a really common sci-fi weapon concept...
Let me think of another one:
Voltaic Arc cannon. It's basically a flamethrower that shoots continuous electricity-based plasma arcs instead of fire. Whereas a flamethrower would have the lingering burn affect, The plasma arc would cause more severe burns in addition to disruption of neural processes and electrical systems due to the electricity-based plasma. It's probably be a heavy weapon for balance, though perhaps a rifle-sized version could be created, sort of like Star Wars arc casters.
this, or a sonic cannon that can create throbbing notes at various frequencies or charge up over a couple of seconds for a concentrated medium disruption in the form of a sonic-boom. It'd be good for causing internal bleeding and organ rupturing while ignoring armor and shields. The only downside is that since sound needs a medium like air, it'd be useless in space.
