Common aspects:
- No Ammo consumption,
- High Power consumption,
- Infinte Falloff (instead of sinus based, it would be like 1/(1+x))
- Thermal damage

• Short range burst Laser
  high precision weapon with low damage output, average rate of fire and average powerconsumption

• Long range burst Laser
  high precision weapon with high damage output, low rate of fire and very high powerconsumption (sniper)

• Constant beam Laser
  high precision weapon with low damage-output, constant DPS, average powerconsumption
  (to reduce server-load all constant dps weapons are synchronized into 1 LoS and damage calculation)

• Siege Laser
  low precision weapon with high damage output, low rate of fire due to extreme powerconsumption.
  only effective against fortifications

• gamma-ray burst Laser
  special, low efficiency burst laser without LoS issues but no damage output.
  Debuff's the targets repair efficiency

Common aspects:
- Ammo consumption
- Average power Consumption
- Average Falloff (current sinus based)
- Kinetic damage

• Railguns
  The kinetic-only, very high damage, longrange magnetic weapons.
  due to the physics of the acceleration mechanic, only solid slugs without additional payload are possible.
  small ammo size enables to carry many shots in magazine and cargo

• Gaussguns (coilguns)
  The flexible, short to medium range magnetic weapons.
  larger and more expensive slugs with secondary damage payload makes it a weapon for special tasks.

• Gauss Mortar
  Similar to Gauss guns, but for unguided indirect fire.
  the propellant free grenades are smaller then conventional grenades, though weapon uses much more energy.
  also available as Siege variant

• Ion-cannon
  instead of slugs, its using ionized heavy atoms as ammunition. cheap ammo, low damage, but devastating for active resist plating.
  The ammo only needs to be refined. Different minerals result in different efficiency of the weapon.
  Uses the ammo-per-cycle mechanic

• Plasmagun
  short range, low damage but high RoF magnetic weapon. uses plasmacells as ammunition,
  can also be used without ammo (using atmosphere to generate the plasma) but at a much lower rate of fire and damage.

• Plasma Mortars
  Similar to the Plasma guns, just with an unguided ballistic arc and splash (AoE) damage.
  also available as Siege variant

Common aspects:
- Ammo consumtion
- Low power consumption
- Short Falloff (current sinus based)
- Kinetic damage

• Autocannon
  high damage, medium precision, long range firearm. low rate of fire
  Various high caliber ammo types with different ranges, dammage types, but compared to other direct fire weapons - rather large.

• Machineguns
  medium damage, medium precision, short to medium range firearm. high rate of fire
  all MGs fire several small bullets per cycle. less different ammo types then Autocannons. though small and medium ones using same caliber.

• Flechette Gun
  short range, direct fire AoE weapon. Large ammo, best used against big number of smaller targets.

• Mortars/howitzer
  Ballistic Firearm for unguided indirect fire AoE damage. Large ammo
  Also available as siege and EMP variant.

Common aspects:
- Ammo consumption
- Most weapon characteristics based on ammo, not only damage
- Low power consumption
- no Falloff
- Explosion (seismic) damage

• Guided Missiles
  homing, fire&forget missiles. various different warheads and ranges available.
  single and multi-missile launcher available.

• Ballistic Missiles
  non-guided, AoE Missiles. beacuse of their bigger warheads, they need a different launcher then guided missiles.
  Also available as siege and EMP variant.

• Bolter (direct fire missiles)
  shares characteristics of missiles (damage calculation and variation) and firearms (turret slot, direct LoS).
  drawbacks are the range dependant precision due to the relative low projectile speed, and the size of the ammo

• Cruise Missiles
  launched from Ballistic launcher, but guided and slow. needs target to be marked with target painter. expensive

• Melee Arm
  "emtpy" Arm torso slots of mechs automatically fitted with a melee arm as seen on the robopedia Tyrannos.
  can be used to deal a very low amount of kinetic AoE damage at max 15m range, depending on robot size. doesn't need locked target
  Melee modus can also be activated for any Arm module that has hands (neuts, drainer, RR, Energy Transfer, Mining/Harvesting mods, Missile launcher on gropho)
