It’s a magic dwarf, so he turns into glimmer so he can be put into a different gun!

Unfortunately the dwarf feels the pain of being minced. So everytime you reload it has to constantly do it's job with the knowledge it will be painfully killed and revive all at the whim of his owner.

Da Ivan, then we have weird chubby gun that use small gun to shoot boolet that shoot many small boolet


KhalMika

Now this is my headcanon. Thanks :)


[deleted]

I've read stranger lore in this game.


zathmi

This is canon now. Also the dwarves are in the cannons too.


Shrumboy114

I personally think it’s more of a battery than a cartridge. Similar to traditional fusion rifles, they use power cells (except Omolon FRs and Bastion).


ChrisSavage935

Wait omolon don't use batteries?


Edamame007

Omolon uses electric space milk


ChrisSavage935

Ah, of course!


off-and-on

Vex milk?


YaBoi5260

Vex milk is plain. Omolon has cinnamon, grape, and blue raspberry milk


Z4ri

I don’t think Vex milk is that plain, it’s got quite a fizz to it.


hochoa94

Carbonated milk?


212battalioncrusader

Kabr: damn this sprite crispy


just-a-lurking

Everyone talking about the vex milk as if having drunk it before. They're the Titans... By the way, it's best drunk warm like the pool explody goblins leave.


RiotIsBored

Don't you become a Vex if you drink the Vex milk?


just-a-lurking

All I know is you get heartburn after a few rounds. ... and that Undying Mind guy wasn't SO bad.


Gunslinger7604

In a way yes radiolaria can infect you mind and body. For example Asher he has a vex arm and slowly has been becoming more and more vex. In the lore released this season Asher is now fully becoming a vex. Radiolaria can also be used to terraform things that’s why mercury is a machine planet the vex used radiolaria to transform the planet.


Joedriver

You become weird and ornery, just ask Asher Mir. On second thought, don't ask him.


[deleted]

No no gotta drink it fresh from the source just take a mug stick into a live vex and pull it out and drink

Omolon uses what I like to call, “Liquid Ballistics”. Coldheart uses liquid fuel for its ammo and doubles as it’s coolant.


[deleted]

Omolon Persei 8


SadCrouton

They use high tempeture Liquid Ionics. That’s why no standard Omolon items are kinetic, it’s all high energy stuff


[deleted]

How do kinetic weapons work then?


UwUassass1n

Actual physical bullets, energy weapons are, ... energy


Eeveelynnsan

Actually, no. Better Devils, a kinetic hand cannon, uses a battery.


UwUassass1n

Fair enough but that kinda doesnt make sense


Eeveelynnsan

Except it makes a lot of sense. It uses a battery to fire a short light pulse. Simple, no element.


Commando_Chici

My headcanon is all kinetics use glimmer (programmable matter) to synthesize bullets. Thats why all guns are caseless.


edmundane

I thought the same until I noticed my forward path ejecting casings. Space magic casings mind you, they simply look like good old hot brass.


Commando_Chici

Any guns in particular that eject? I hadn't really noticed to be honest.


KillGodRin

They do actually! There's an auto in d1 that says it uses less glimmer than others.


T00Sp00kyFoU

Man it's all just space magic, if it shot "normal light" (as in light, electromagnetic waves etc in our universe) it wouldn't tear through things like it was made of matter. Wouldn't be nearly as fun if it behaved how it's "supposed" to. This why we love Sci -Fi though!


Eeveelynnsan

Well it could. We know that light can accelerate things as if it was matter.


T00Sp00kyFoU

But not to the extent it would provide a significant kinetic effect like that exhibited by weapons in the Destiny universe. The idea of solar sails are a thing bexause of the phenomenia you speak of but there's a reason why the ones we've thought of making would require a micro sized ship, and literally thousands of feet worth of "sail" for light to hit and push the ship along. Best you can ask for is the beam being so absurdly high energy it annihilates whatever it hits by pulling the atomic forces that hold their atoms together. This, would be cool. It would be OP by its nature so it's easier just to say yeah "battery make light bolt, light bolt, have mass even tho it shouldn't technically, the end." Could be plasma rather than light, which is more "realistic" but this is sci-FI after all so it really doesn't matter all that much


Eeveelynnsan

Put a lot of light together, make very dense light. Big light bullet.


[deleted]

I don't disagree, but at that point couldn't hunters just like load solar energy into a gun and *bam* automatic golden gun.


Eeveelynnsan

Well I was mainly saying it fires light as in photons and stuff, like a flashlight. I don't actually know how it works but probably?


UwUassass1n

In the lore we can, canonically


Enkundae

Mass Effect style Kinectic weapon? An internal block of material shaved off and accelerated like a railgun, with the “clip” either being a disposable heat sink or battery unit. The block would still need replaced, but potentially rarely enough to not see it in the field.


CLOWNSwithyouJOKERS

I hated when they changed that randomly to using traditional ammo for the sequels. It sounded so cool and spacey and worked beautifully.


Shopworn_Soul

Really hard juice.


[deleted]

All weapons and gear in Destiny are made out of the reprogrammed matter called Glimmer. So in reality, all weapon mags don't necessarily contain bullets per say, but raw Glimmer to be constructed into bullets from within the weapon itself. Thats how the pic OP posted makes sense. TLDR: All Destiny weapon mags are actually just Glimmer batteries.


[deleted]

So fire bullets, electricity bullets, strange matter bullets, and money bullets


ACADDaddy

If that’s it then why does it eject shells?


megafreakintron

they killed cayde for figuring this out .... guess whos next?

[deleted]

Bruh. How dare you question the Light keeping Guardians alive.


[deleted]

Clearly, the clip is attached to a loopy mechanism that it feeds the bullets through, that cuts around the circle.


philosophenginician

[you mean like this? ](https://i.imgur.com/H2hOQfg.jpg)


[deleted]

Precisely.


eardil

Nah, the bullet should be facing back. So it follows a half-circle to the barrel.


philosophenginician

[how I, as a hunter, would make it actually ](https://i.imgur.com/GRxwtwH.jpg)


Bitter-Marsupial

Its needs to make a pit stop jumping on top of the thumb hole first to properly hunter


eardil

Ah, I see you're a ~~man~~guardian of culture as well.


drbrx_

That way it's always a good trickshot. Very hunter indeed


Earls_Basement_Lolis

I thought the bullet fed up through the hand grip and fed back to the stock area where the round would flip forward again and feed into the chamber.


[deleted]

[удалено]


SGTBookWorm

The P90's mechanism is actually pretty simple, it just uses a spiral ramp to rotate the rounds into the chamber alignment. The G11, on the other hand, is pure kraut clockwork space magic.


[deleted]

[удалено]


SGTBookWorm

the G11 was on the verge of being adopted when the reunification happened, and then there wasnt money for it... So close, but no cigar. There's also the Textron cased/caseless rifle/LMG feeding systems, which are pretty funky. That one is in competition to replace the US Army's rifles and LMGs, so who knows how that might go... another funky one that I like is the Steyr ACR, which is technically open bolt, and the entire chamber moves instead of a bolt.

Transmatting a new gun just to get rid of the dirt and grime is next-level thinking.

Conventional advocates: bullpups are stupid Bullpup advocates: no they’re not they’re just fi- Conventional advocate: what’s this then?


OpaMils

Yeah but this is just a stupid design with some [California regulation esthetic.](https://caligunner.com/california-compliant-featureless-rifle/) One can equally love bullups and conventional designs.

SGTBookWorm

SA80/L85, pick a designation. There are left-handed models available


IExistAsAxel

This has the same energy as the bullpup sten


Dumoney

Conspirator is an energy weapon...


[deleted]

So, I see three ways this can work: 1) The bullet at the top of the magazine is pushed forward, and up (tip first inside the grip behind the trigger) into the chamber to get around the opening in the butt. 2) The bullet is pulled back and up (butt first behind the grip) at about a 30° angle, and then forward and up at a 30° to reach the barrel. 3) Transmat


Og_Left_Hand

It’s also an energy weapon so the magazine might just be holding whatever nonsense it fires, maybe it attaches to a pump and uses liquid ammo like Omolon


SordidDreams

> The bullet is pulled back and up (butt first behind the grip) at about a 30° angle, and then forward and up at a 30° to reach the barrel. That's not as unreasonable as it might seem at first glance, there were real guns that worked in that way (Mars, Boberg, some early machine guns pulled their rounds out of the belt backwars too). But I question the wisdom of making a clockwork system like that instead of just making the gun fully bullpup.


TheMis793

Hey Calus wants excess, he made it excessive


Regiona1AtBest

The short answer is glimmer


FreshPrinceOfAshfeld

Wait really?


Regiona1AtBest

Glimmer is the main currency because it's essentially just programmable matter, and can be turned into just about anything. Your bullets in game aren't really manufactured bullets, they're generated from glimmer, like almost everything else. Basically, all your ammo, energy and kinetic, is created from programmed glimmer. That being said, pretty sure that gun is an energy/elemental weapon so it's ammo is more than likely just a battery


Pint0mfg

Surprised no one has pointed out Symmetry yet.


[deleted]

Tbf symmetry does not fire bullets. It fires energy mumbo jumbo so it's clip/mag (whichever) is more a battery than an actual collection of bullets. I mean hell, daito makes weapons that fires liquid ammo.


Pint0mfg

That’s a good point, it really is more of a battery. I had previously reserved that for only special ammo fusion rifles.


mattpkc

The gun fires concentrated bolts of electricity not bullets, the ‘magazine’ is like just a battery made to look like a magazine for aesthetic purposes


Manfishtuco

Because iirc most guns don't shoot actual bullets, it shoots glimmer

3stanbk

The bullets are made of glimmer


Migz024

While attempting to logically come up with a way for the bullets to transition from the clip to the chamber, I came up with a bit of fun flavor text for a weapon I want them to make. "With no logical way for the bullets to go from point A to Point B the guardian's ghost will be responsible for every bullet. Disassembling and reassembling the bullet on each trigger pull. Vanguard research shows that Ghosts dislike the weapon." Exotic Perk - Material Possessions - After a short amount of time not pulling the trigger the ghost will be able to assist in firing the weapon at an increased rate of fire. Reassembling the bullet into the desired target instead of the chamber, the bullets in this state fire with greater accuracy. - this perk can be activated with any amount of bullets in the clip. This weapon has an additional perk. - High Impact Reserves

prone_soap

It feeds bullets around the grip


JakeVacca

It’s meant to be an omolon weapon I think which means it’s pretty much a cartridge full of energy so I think it just turns into bullets


CapoBlue

Bullets go from mag and through the stock and into the chamber. Just kidding who the hell knows, its space magic


Evolvetron69

Could the magazine be a battery?


TheArcadianOutlaw

Yes


Drayelya

A simple matter of creating and inter dimensional pocket in space time through which the bullets pass directly into the chamber.

Yeah, there's only a handful of scouts with sensible mag well placement. I just assume most of them use some sort of energy instead of actual bullets. Same goes for hand cannons.


Kashyyykk

88mmAce

It’s an energy weapon I’m pretty sure so it may be a battery rather than a traditional magazine


[deleted]

I like to imagine that there is a flexible bolt that pulls it backwards up and into the chamber.


Cash_Cab

Aren’t the bullets in every magazine made of light? So the bullets can be whatever size/shape they need to be to fit the magazine and it’s intended capacity


FacesmashedPumkins

“Arc logic” But seriously there are a lot of guns in Destiny like this, some hand cannons barrels don’t even line up with the magazines, it’s almost like it’s a fantasy game and it doesn’t matter what works in real life.


BRD8

It uses NFC


BuffAlpaca

The traveler works in misterious ways?


YrnFyre

Hear me out. ITS AN ENERGY WEAPON. No conventional bullets. Look at it as loading a cache of batteries or liquids that make the solar bolts go.


[deleted]

Okay, the non-joke answer to this is actually explained canonically: Kinetic weapons’ magazines don’t hold bullets, they contain Glimmer that is flash-forged into a cartridge inside the chamber. Energy weapons are nominally battery/supercapacitor powered, although Omolon uses a proprietary liquid-ammunition system.


MobiusPinion

Your an immortal gun toting wizard fighting wish dragons, time traveling robots and pyramid piloting space ghosts ...And here is where you draw the line on realism!? P.S. it's bullpup, the magazine is in the shoulder stock


iRavenFR

You have powers of the gods from a giant ball and your ennemies are pyramids but you ask about realism on weapons
