plasma grenades

The weapon models that you have are great. I also like the shotgun. It remins me of the H&K CAWS - see http://world.guns.ru/shotgun/sh18-e.htm and the Neostead shotgun http://world.guns.ru/shotgun/sh08-e.htm
The CAWS is or was an automatic shotgun, meaning it could fire (special) 12 gauge shells in a burst, like an assault rifle. I would like such a weapon in the game (a vintage 2084 model :P ), with several ammo types and/or upgradable/reseachable new ammo types.

I like the grenades - they look alien, as they should, and it's natural to look totally different than Earth made grenades! And it's OK to look SF, because, at the moment, invading aliens (including their weapons) are science fiction!

I would like the minigun in the game as a heavy weapon, but it won't be realistic. The recoil from the minigun is brutal and the required ammo must be carried by a truck. However, you could imagine a plasma minigun (as a hand carried weapon) which doesn't fire bullets, thus no recoil or heaps of ammo. Yeah, it would look great on a craft, but we won't be using it much.

Minigun's recoil shouldn't be a problems for soldiers wearing exoskelleton. Remebers me warhammer 40k stuff.

I disagree, miniguns are IRL used, with little problem - look at movies Terminator 2/Predator. Anf if we have magaizine who is BIG (as backpack) with cca 250 or 500 rounds, then I have no problem.
And if ammo/recoiul is tu much problem, them leave it static-deploayable like HMG (heavy machinegun).

:D I like the way you're thinking :D

As far as I know, miniguns are non-portable weapons, but who cares? This is a sci-fi game right? You gotta have miniguns :D
I guess it could only be used by very strong soldiers and I could imagine it to have a ridiculous spread.

Is the "strength" attribute of a soldier limiting the weight of equipment they can carry or use at all?

Alex:
not to mention futuristic alloys that are ultra-light and uber-strong making seemingly big and heavy weapons a lot lighter than they look :)
