| I was just thinking about this, if Umberlla could make an energy weapon like the Linear Launcher, why don't they just make them instead of trying to make B.O.Ws all the time. They try to make B.O.Ws to sell and make money, but why the hell don't they make a shit ton of linear launchers, those would sell so much better than B.O.Ws that barely work in the buyers favor. |

| The "energy" weapon market isn't very big and most militaries are much more interested in conventional weaponry. |

No, BOWs are terror weapons. The linear launcher is an energy-based weapon, so the market for it is low. By "conventional weapons", I mean things like M16s, Apache helicopters, and aircraft carriers. |

Yeah because they don't exist. lol
But yeah I understand what your saying about the B.O.Ws being terror weapons, because I would be in terror if I seen a damn Hunter coming towards me.  |

I still find it hard to believe that they found out how to make an energy weapon like that and only have it made for one use.
Oh and lets not forget the particle gun from Dead Aim, I forgot that even existed. lol |

| Or weapons like Spark Shot and PRL 412, although the latter wasn't made by Umbrella. _________________ ~The Weapon of Mass Distraction~ COMMUNITY:Resident Evil Forums Chat Group: [link]Resident Evil Forums Facebook: [link]Come check my Let's Plays: [link]Gaming forum I'm moderating: [link] |

| Is the Spark Shot?
It's as canon as you make it be, I guess. _________________ ~The Weapon of Mass Distraction~ COMMUNITY:Resident Evil Forums Chat Group: [link]Resident Evil Forums Facebook: [link]Come check my Let's Plays: [link]Gaming forum I'm moderating: [link] |

I think that the difference is that you can get the spark shot in your first run, as for the prl you have to beat the game in order to get it |

| Does it matter anyway as all these weapons we're talking about have no real life counter parts. _________________ ~The Weapon of Mass Distraction~ COMMUNITY:Resident Evil Forums Chat Group: [link]Resident Evil Forums Facebook: [link]Come check my Let's Plays: [link]Gaming forum I'm moderating: [link] |

it was so powerful that it could only shoot single fire and took a minute to charge.
it of course had to be mounted and set charging for any use at all. makes sense to me.
as for the particle gun, i guess its the same concept. _________________ -Vae Victus-Suffering To The Conquered-"The ultimate lifeform...Tyrant", Albert Wesker, REmakeConsumer Recreation Services |
