We haven’t seen much by way of explosives, I think we’ve seen some airburst rounds, and 1 grenade toss.I'd love to see katana + pistol combination actually. Explosive only playstyle would be good too for the 10th-12th playthrough.
In cp2020 there is a wrist mounted blade launcher and throwing knives that fan out once inside a person. I would love to see 1 or both of those.Knives. Just knives.

What about dual-wield railgun pistols?

Maybe a system where you can interchange weapon combinations at the drop of a hat? Such as,
Left-hand: Right-hand:
Gun + Gun
Gun + Blade
Blade + Gun
Blade + Blade

this is a railgun. Some people have made some compact coilguns but I do not think it is feasible to have a pistol sized railgun that is also lethal. The power behind a railgun is its long rails that allow it to use magnetic fields to accelerate projectiles over the length of the rails. I could see a railgun sniper rifle but even then it would have to be so long as to reach anime proportions.

That is why I conceded to a sniper, acceleration is the limiting factor, and because it relies on magnetic fields along the rails you cannot just make it compact enough to be a pistol. It isn’t like smokeless gunpowder that burns fast enough that you no longer need a long barrel to reach lethal velocities. Its closer to black powder because you need the travel time along the rails. There are physical limitations (as in the physical laws of nature) that are the limiting factors. At the point of making a pistol “railgun” it would be a more effective taser.Yes, but this is the future we're talking about. They built micro-cybernetics head implants to hack anything. I think a handheld upgraded military grade projectile that's a foot long isn't that far fetched.
Actually the limiting factor is power.That is why I conceded to a sniper, acceleration is the limiting factor, <clip>
Metal Storm system guns. Why need mags anyway, just throw away the whole barrel and replace it with new, loaded with bullets.
Well, mags are far more practical than a barrel full of projectiles, have you ever seen a mag and a barrel next to eachother, or tried to change a barrel in a second or two? Military have Metal Storm failed because it was clumsy, impractical and borderline useless
Well a graphene battery could offer leaps and bounds in terms of power supply. I meant power being infinite you would still need a longer barrel/rails for a railgun than you would for a firearm of the same power. You can reach higher accelerations with a railgun but again, that requires a longer barrel/rail.Actually the limiting factor is power.
The US Navy can put them on ships because they have a ships engines providing power. And while you could fairly easily put a rail gun on a tank the needed power supply is twice, or more, the size of the tank. Sorta impractical. And don't fall into the fallacy some super efficient, super compact, power supply is going to be invented ... physics 101 says no. Now if you want Star Wars fantasy-fiction as opposed to science-fiction then go for it
