=Eridian=

What Doesn't Kill'em, makes 'em Deader.
The namesake for the weapon is the Wheel of Times indestructible material known as Cuendillar, which when struck by anything, makes it tougher, which leads to the red texts subversion of the classic phrase, with a twist. The weapon itself looks like an alien revolver, with an odd blade attachment. The weapon is black and white, an oddity of its' own. Each hit on an enemy gets stronger by the amount of shots the target has already absorbed, within a time limit. The weapon has another special that kicks in when you kill an enemy, which is increased recharge on the weapon. The weapon would likely be pearlescent or orange, with a base damage of about 300~damage.

Cha-Ching!
reading sasha gave me an idea. a gun that shoots money for ammo. ammo dollar cost is based on level of weapon relative to damage. a mini-gun limited to brick and roland would be best i think. magazine is eridian infinite so as long as youve got bucks, youve got bang. my $.02.

How about naming it the "YFF1 Coin?" It would be a reference to Final Fantasy VII and my favorite ninja, Yuffi. Her upgraded "Throw" materia gave her the "Coin" ability allowing her to throw gil to damage enemies. (Wow, researching that really took me back. :D ) Fryguy42 16:53, May 8, 2010 (UTC)

Breaks Damage Limit
Eridian. A reference to the boss/summon Bahamut from final fantasy. The gun has a long recharge time, but shoots a laser that make a large explosion when it hits, doing damage to whatever is caught in the blast. Decent power (around 460) and good accuracy, but long recharge time. ~Omegaironman

Why do I feel a strange compulsion to do whatever he tells me to?
A Eridian rifle that has a 75% chance of having the opponent shot turn and attack his allies. Gun is a slightly green color, and has a 30% chance of coming with a scope. The gun and flavor text come from the Sims series of games.

Activate the "laser"
Eridian - Blaster - Austin - Red text Activate the "laser" - Extremely high recharge and damage. If you can't work out the reference you have a crap taste in movies. A Lonely Nomad 16:48, April 25, 2010 (UTC)

Okay, JUST got that. =D Had to go in and tweak the flavor text header accordingly. Fryguy42 22:04, April 25, 2010 (UTC)

why not call it the "Douglas" which references the main character's brother. Let's just say he was "evil" Mazman1521 00:49, May 16, 2010 (UTC)

You keep what you kill
This Eridian handgun is inspired by the gravity-based weaponry used by the Necromongers in the final installment of the Riddick Trilogy, The Chronicles of Riddick. The Necro's used, among other incredibly effective weapons, a hand-held pistol-like firearm that shot a single blast of energy that, upon impact, blasted the target back several yards and made the victim severely "life-challenged." The Necro Blaster will emit a white ball larger than that emitted by a Ball Blaster but much smaller than that of a Cannon. The gun will shoot a projectile that will have a velocity similar to that of a Ball Blaster, a RoF of around 1.5, and fire 4 shots before cooldown. In keeping with the Necromonger weapons, the Necro Blaster will have a 100% chance for knock-back similar to that of a shotgun. Fryguy42 04:24, April 26, 2010 (UTC)

Made for the real bounty hunters
Basically it is an Eridian cannon that alternatively shoots explosive, electric or fire munitions per trigger pull. Each munition travel alot faster than the original cannon, but slower than normal bullets. It has a relatively slow RoF, like 0.5, maybe less but deal a massive amount of damage, without any splash of course. The clip is fast charging to put up with the slow RoF. This is, of course, a reference to our beloved bounty hunter Samus Aran and to her hand cannon with multiple elemental beams Valtiell 01:17, April 30, 2010 (UTC)

Set phasers to "kill"
This Eridian handgun is a tribute to Gene Roddenberry and his genre-defining 'Star Trek' series. According to the production notes to the original Star Trek series the Phaser was a PHoton mASER, since at the time of the writing the Laser was a relative unknown. Masers, on the other hand were already powerful machines which produced very destructive radiation pulses.

The Photon Maser is a scope-less handheld Eridian weapon capable of firing in two modes: a single press of the trigger fires an energy burst that will stun an enemy. A sustained trigger pull will fire a continuous energy pulse with a hidden 4x incendiary effect. The resulting burning mechanic already in the game will simulate the Phaser's ability to completely disintegrate a target. It will have a moderate magazine, similar to an Eridian Blaster, and an extended cooldown. This weapon will be handy for crowd control and to wear down Badasses and Bosses.

When you bite the hand that feeds you...

 * Eridian. Instead of using energy as ammo, it drains health from you. The damage you receive should be a precise number per level of the gun so that higher health means more ammo. As a result, the gun never needs to reload... as long as your still alive (if you would be at less then 1 health after it shoots, it will equate to being out of ammo and will not fire, meaning you cannot die from shooting the gun alone).
 * Shoots 2 bullets every round, always in a horizontal spread, with a red and white smoke trail (resembling something like vampires teeth flying through the air). Each bullet that hits an enemy for regular bullet damage will grant you health equal to the life lost as a result of firing the gun, (This means, if you hit an enemy, but the damage is completely or partially resisted, (ie. Lance Defender's shield,) it will heal you very little or not at all. If you critical, it will heal for more. As well, on average, if you hit with both bullets, it will net heal you from firing the gun).
 * It can come with a scope. If it has a scope it will have accuracy, damage and fire rate similar to a sniper rifle and the shots fired follow a closely parallel flight path. If it doesn't have a scope, it will either behave silimar to a combat rifle, with increased fire rate, but less damaging and less accurate, or like a shotgun, with a similar fire rate, increased damage and a wider spread, (but again, the more damage this gun deals, the more damage you take as a result of firing it and the less "ammo" you'll have to use).
 * The model for the gun should appear to have two tendrils going into the players arm.

The pop culture reference is to the song The Hand That Feeds - Nine Inch Nails, both in the flavor text and in the model number. Blastoderm 02:57, May 8, 2010 (UTC)

Now that's a big ****ing gun!
Inspired by Doom Eridian Cannon similar to the 110100010 type with a massive green slow moving shot that has a huge splash damage and does a huge amount of damage. faster than normal recharge rate similar to an Eridian Lightning and has the seeking capability off the oringal pew pew pew Eridian Blaster. Always activating corrosive damage similar to the Defiler Revolver. BigSkagHunter 21:02, May 7, 2010 (UTC)

Damn, why didn't I think of this? Excellent idea there. Skeve613 15:05, May 11, 2010 (UTC)

Too bad the BFG9000 doesn't have seeking plasma. And something more like the Quake II BFG10K would be better, with the beams spewing from the ball attacking everything in its path. :P SpootKnight 15:20, May 11, 2010 (UTC)

I also think BFG10K would be better. Or, I think, we could use BFG from Quake III Arena/QuakeLive. There's BFG shoots fasters plasma, so it's more dangerous gun.

PS. You stole my idea! MY IDEA FOR THIS BIG F***ING GUN!! ARGH! DJKacPL wants blood! 17:09, May 28, 2010 (GTM +1)

Honey, I Shrunk the...(SPLAT!)
Would be a big weapon held on shoulder like launcher. Would only be able to fire one shot before depleted and would take a good30-60 sec to recharge, shot would be a lazer type graphic that would stay on for roughly 3 seconds (you could not stop it from lasting 3 seconds). All enemies hit with the beam would be miniturized and could be walked on and squished, It would not work on bosses, baddasses would shrink just not as tiny as others and could not be squishes although their HP would be reduced by half. Also if you shrunk say a bandit near a gruop of skags the skags could run up and eat the bandits. you would also be able to shrink vehicle which means you could shoot a vehicle thats about to run over you and then watch it crash on your feet.71.248.118.201 12:51, June 8, 2010 (UTC)Eatingleg4peanut

Reminds of something one could do in Duke Nukem 3D - sounds fun 21:12, July 1, 2010 (UTC)

I come in peace, yeah right.
This Eridian pistol looks more like a cross between the blue blades used by the Guardians and the halo energy sword but shorter like a dagger. The sidearm would fire the blades like the Arch Guardian is observed doing and can be used for a 100% melee damage bonus (if used on you in a duel then the same graphic as a guardian melee attack occurs). the damage would be variable the accuraccy always 75 and the fire rate of 3.5. The sidearm can have four prefixes. Eridian which has the basic effects, Storm which has a lightning effect like the wave blaster, Mercurial which ups the fire rate to 7 but drops the accuraccy to 60 and finally Fisson which makes blue energy travel along the blades and gives a 300% melee damage bonus but slower bullet velocity.

The quote is a parody of a majour sci-fi cliche if anyone can come up with anything better its much appreciated.Mysillyideas 12:19, July 18, 2010 (UTC)

Check out the 1990 Dolph Lundgren sci-fi "classic" I Come In Peace. Bad Alien: "I come in peace." Hero: "But you go in pieces, asshole." 17:49, July 18, 2010 (UTC)

Death from above.
Looks like an Eridian pistol. Shoots a blue orb that sticks to surfaces/enemies. The sky soon turns dark, and enemies look up, only to be decimated by an ancient eridian laser weapon fired from space. Recharge:30 sec. Shots: 1 Reference is from Halo series in which an alien race also leaves behind something similar to this.Quote is reference from Call of Duty 4UberGamer 23:01, July 18, 2010 (UTC)
