Sounds good to me.

Shambler: do you mean a tattoo made by the use of a nailgun, or a tattoo depicting one? ;]

In any case, there's work to be done still on Slipgate weapons (we're close to tweaking animations for most of the weapons, but the SNG needs some extra work from Pho), and with animations come POV-positions, so don't worry. We're on it!

And yes, this also means we're almost halfway done animating the Generations arsenal ;]

yeah up the nails

we need more nails of DOOM

Because they're trying to demonstrate that the nailguns aren't useless. Didn't you read the rest of the topic?

I think the SNG in Generations is an awsome weapon, just the ammo is scarce like everyone else said.

I think this highlights the problem then.

Hyperblaster
Max ammo: 300 cells
Ammo per weapon pickup: 50 cells
Ammo per cell pickup: 50 cells

Super Nailgun
Max ammo: 200 nails
Ammo per weapon pickup: 30 nails
Ammo per small nailbox pickup: 25 nails

Also Note: supernailgun=railgun!
 

I don't hear the Waabulence Tab, do you?

I'm crap with the SNG be it in Gen or QW. Same goes for the HB. I just suck with Strogg cos I do. That said, Tab only beating me 3-1 on q2dm5 in 1v1 Strogg-only is an achievement in my book. The secret? HIDE!!

Shambler quoted from the stats of the SNG and the Hyper.  When weapons are basically similar, it can help to compare how much "damage" is contained in the weapon pickup and the boxes.

Damage in Pickup  (damage in one shot times number of shots)
SNG:  270  (18*15)
Hyper:  750  (15*50)

In one big ammo box
SNG:  450
Hyper:  750

In pickup + two boxes (which are often together )
SNG:  1170
Hyper:  2250

Max damage weapon can carry (according to max ammo)
SNG:  1800
Hyper:  4500

The biggest differences are with the weapon pickup and the max ammo.  

I agree that the hyperblaster can seem better than the SNG, even though it has to spin-down after every burst.  Maybe it's because you feel like you can sweep slower with it because you have more ammo, maybe it's because the projectiles appear closer to their real size, maybe it's by comparison to the class's other weapons (the SNG is, as shambler said, the Slipgater's railgun).  I agree with other people who have said the only thing that could be improved about the SNG is the starting ammo, possibly by upping it to 50.
