I just realized this after reading the Grimoire card [url=https://db.destinytracker.com/d1/grimoire/inventory/special-weapons/fusion-rifles]Fusion Rifles[/url]:
[quote]Advancements in directed [i]energy[/i] disbursement, gained through the discovery of Golden Age research, led to the creation of stable, field-ready [i]energy[/i]-based weaponry. The first implementation of this technology comes in the form of the Fusion Rifle. Users must hold the trigger down for a few moments to charge the weapon before firing.[/quote]
Wouldn't this mean that kinetic weapons could be equippable in the Energy slot?
-
That’s talking about the creation of fusion rifles as a form of energy weapons. Draw a distinction between elemental weapons.
-
Energy has many different meanings, it could be referring the the weapon type or what's powering the weapon in this case
-
Arbalest is a railgun.
-
Well. Arbalest is an arbalest Linear fusion rifle just is the closest thing to an arbalest weapon type the game has. Just like how sleeper(a linear fusion rifle) was a fusion rifle before linear fusion rifles existed. Or sweet business is an auto rifle.[spoiler]okay sweet business is a machine gun, you can’t change my mind. They should change the weapon type but keep the weapon the same.[/spoiler]

Kinetic energy...
-
.....what do they teach kids in school these days
-
Yes. Kinetic is literally a form of energy
-
It’s more of a rail gun.

Edited by Grays_KS27: 10/25/2019 8:54:42 PMForget the slots, they never mattered. There’s kinetic weapons and energy weapons. They are defined by their ammo types: bullets and hard projectiles vs energy (a gun that fires bullets vs a gun that shoots lasers, ammo clip vs battery pack). Heavy weapons would also fall under these types, but the game mechanics required a third weapon type so Bungie said “If the gun is really big, we’ll call it Heavy.” Arbalest is an energy weapon because it fires charged bolts of energy. The slot it’s in doesn’t matter. Kinetic energy is literally just energy generated from movement. Example: a bullet being fired and hitting you in the toe.

Arbalest is basically a handheld railgun
-
That’s why it’s called kinetic energy
-
Yes, because Kinetic ENERGY doesn’t exist anymore and elemental energy is the only kind of energy that exists.
-
Yes, a rifle shooting bullets is an energy weapon. Also, your post makes no sense whatsoever.
