Talk:Evangelion Ranged Weapons
Positron Rifles
Whatever gun Asuka was using against Israfel, it does only a fraction of the damage done by the similar weapon seen in Episode 22. I assume it's more of something that looks like the "20x" version seen in Episode 06. (Notice that Asuka needs the targeting visor to place the "20x" version on Arael). Israfel is one of the weaker Angels, a positron gun should have been able to hurt him very badly.
As an aside, the Positron Sniper Rifle Eva-00 uses is not the same weapon that is used to shoot Ramiel. This weapon has certain visual differences, like a large cylindrical drum on top of it, and it is also operating at a much lower power level- they didn't announce a power blackout all over Japan to deal with Arael, did they?
I have to check, but I'm sure Eva-00 used a pallet rifle in Episode 18. --UrsusArctos 21:23, 20 August 2007 (EDT)
- Yeah, you're right, it's a Pallet Rifle. I'm on crack.
- The positron rifle stuff is an enormous mess. Everything I have on them (including their designations) is covered in thick layers of kanji. This is really making me want to get my Asian OCR software working...
- Also, feel free to go beyond the "get this shit down really quickly" format I used to start the page. Gatling gun needs to be added to "Other", as well. --Reichu 21:40, 20 August 2007 (EDT)
- Do you mean the gun being turned on Shamshel in the Rebuild trailer, or something from another source? --UrsusArctos 21:48, 20 August 2007 (EDT)
- Yup. I added it, in any event. --Reichu 21:59, 21 August 2007 (EDT)
Bazookas
V: "are you sure "hand bazooka" and "bazooka" weren't the same thing?"
Yes. The former is much smaller than the latter and differs in various details I do not possess the firearms nerdery to describe. --Reichu 21:59, 21 August 2007 (EDT)
