"ripper" weapon names - & the salsa effect...

[LiquidFaction]

first off - GOD I CANT WAIT FOR THIS MOD!

secondly i saw the screens for the new 'ripper' style weapon currently in the works in IR10, and i knowticed it was nameless.

so how bout "The Eviscriator"

also i was wondering if theres any way to have the blades pass through a player model, spraying out chunks ala mexian chunky salsa style, (could be used to re-decorate a room)

or how bout a alt-fire mode that makes it into a blender

why you dont name it Slayer?

[LittleBird]

I've heard that the 'Ripper' weapon comes with a free Bionic Arm upgrade to reduce the stress on your arm.

Acronyms that spell something are good...

WeVe popped into IRC and mentioned ShockBlade as a name possibility. Wormbo and I mulled it over and out came:

[14:19] <FurrySound{Moo}> ShockBlade huh? hmm... dunno... maybe if it had some electic component so when its used as a melee weapon it would shock and stun the recipient?
[14:19] <Wormbo> charged blades maybe?
[14:20] <FurrySound{Moo}> yeah, they could have little electric sparks flying off them or something...
[14:20] <Wormbo> with a similar effect like the shock primary or lightning gun
[14:20] <FurrySound{Moo}> yeah

R.Flagg: crush the little bird? ouch... nasty R. Flagg... bad moo... and to think, I always thought cows were friendly creatures... well, ok... except for the one with the sniper rifle...

What about:

Quisinart
Shredder
Slicer
Meat Factor
Gibmaster
Blade
SeBLI (Severe Blood Loss Inflictor)
Buzz
The Buzzard
Vengeance Mark III
Maelstrom
Metal Death
Buzz Gibyear
ToD (Trajectory of Death)
PAK (Portable Amputation Kit)
BloodFest 2003

I'm sure I could come up with more...

[FurrySound]

I like PAK.

What about Buzzsaw like it was in Quake 2 (never played it) or CUT Ripper like how the Sniper Rifle was named CUT Sniper Rifle? Maybe it could be called the Cutter, Blade Launcher, Razorjack (from Unreal 1), or Cutting Eage.

BTW, I'm good when it comes to idea, but when it comes to names, I'm very poor at it for some reason.

[Corvus|CL]

A non cryptic but simple name is nedded for that kind of simple weapon of brute force:

My top favorites:
The Shredder
The Grinder

Another suggestions:
Bladecaster
Shotblade
Sharpblade
The Slitter
The Slotter
The Chopper
The Disruptor
The Butcher

Maybe it could be called the Cutter

I kinda like the idea of combining those two ideas, and coming up with words to go with the 't' , 'e', and 'r'.

Chaos UT what what what?

Sounds purdy. We do have blades sticking into players in the current IR, but to be honest, I'm not even sure yet if that's every time, or just sometimes and they go thru player the rest....let me/us get back to you on that.

And thanks for the kind words! I hope you enjoy it when you get a chance to play.

Ok how about this:

The CUTTER: Chaos UT Total Evisceration Rifle
