Slug Throwers are considered banned weaponry. And also, after much arguing, I have drawn implications that even the fastest magic projectile just doesn't touch the velocity of a conventional weapon. Even our most generous calcs on it, only a page or two back, show the fastest velocity as less than 150 m/s.

The typical M-16 A2 fires rounds at 930 m/s.

If you want slug throwing power with magic, you'll need to:

A: Have a stupid long charge time.
B: Build a hybrid, and have a slightly less stupid long charge time.
C: Just use the freakin' mass weapon and ignore those puny laws.

Now, exactly what would this weapon be like?

Teeana's weapon's a breach loader. What would you do with a live ammo shell? Emergency shotgun pistol?
