Talk:5e Futuristic Weapons

Damage corrections

• There are some weapons, whose damage is absurdly small. Smaller than modern guns, or medieval weapons. I think, those need correction. --User 12345 (talk) 14:02, 11 May 2025 (UTC)

Your right, I have found a lot of futuristic and/or more modern weapons and armor are too weak or sometimes too strong. The balance of them all could use a look over. --Blobby383b (talk) 16:34, 13 May 2025 (UTC)

And on top of that, there are weapons what aren't actually futuristic (i.e. should be Modern). For example, weapons with plastic and ceramic parts, shooting fin-stabilized depleted uranium bullets, with strange caliber (e.g. 6,8x51 NATO/.277 Fury instead of 5,56x45 NATO; .338 Norma Magnum/8.6x63 instead of 7.62x51 NATO), strange ergonomic form, computer components, non-standard yet chemical propellant (or even still gunpowder) - are still ultimately Modern weapons, just from later end of the spectrum (2010-2040's), while other Modern weapons are from early (1890-1940) or mid (1950-2000) spectrum. --User 12345 (talk) 14:38, 14 May 2025 (UTC)

E.G. USA currently switches to entirely new calibers. After about 40 to 80 years into the future, all munitions will be completely unrecognizable. --User 12345 (talk) 14:49, 14 May 2025 (UTC)

As such, we still need to formulate criterias of Modern and Futuristic. First, i think what most "futuristic" gunpowder-powered weapons are actually Late Modern epoch. --User 12345 (talk) 14:45, 14 May 2025 (UTC)

Moved them. We'll also need to fix stats of such "actually Modern" weapons and other Futuristic weapons. And armor. There's a lot of things to do. --User 12345 (talk) 15:17, 14 May 2025 (UTC)
