Kinetic Weapons
Thinking about weaponry for the Terran Union "Starfleet". Given that they keep a special place in their hearts for Replicators, I was thinking that they would have moved away from energy based weaponry for kinetic weaponry which can harm Replicators.
I was thinking of gauss-based pistols and rifles as personal weaponry but question is are guass weapons energy or kinetic weapon as the velocity of the projectile as it leaves the gun is so high that its practically energy?
Arise, arise, Riders of Theoden!
Fell deed awake: fire and slaughter!
Spear shall be shaken, shields be splintered,
a sword-day, a red-day, ere the sun rises!
Ride now, ride now! Ride to Gondor!
