ratfusion Re: TR Cycler Why does the gauss get a drum and the cycler doesn't?

DOUBLEXBAUGH Re: TR Cycler The drum on that gauss could be an increased ammo sidegrade unlocked in the cert tree. Or maybe its the ARV version like the cycler has.

This earlier screenshot gives an idea of scale. Although the weapon is missing a magazine, weapon sights, and a flash hider.



There also seems to be no location to eject brass. Maybe the TR have moved to caseless ammunition?

Kinda like the F2000 FN F2000 shoot - YouTube FN F2000 shoot - YouTube

Cos at least the Gauss has a very visible ejection port, would be weird if they just "forgot it"



EDIT: Hmh, Gauss has actually changed fairly much between screenshots. The NC turntable video has a very visible ejection port, but no screenshot has that. Also, you can witness some pretty noticeable differences in the earlier pics to the later pics in terms of the frame of the gauss.

Rivenshield Re: TR Cycler The Cycler has TWO BARRELS in an over-under configuration. Everybody knows that.



They kept the goddam PLANT LIFE the same (which is cool), but not my Cycler.



I has a sad.

That doesn't explain vast differences, but would cover small stuff.

Check out the sawed-off / carbine version of the old Cycler in the foreground. Sure it doesn't make sense, the lower piston tube/gas tube isn't connected to the barrel any more. But it looks cool. Or it could be the holy grail for you twin-barrel Cycler advocates.



Yes, I'm still assuming this is a scrapped Cycler design. It showed up in only TR hands in older screenshots, has TRs smooth styling cues, and is of course branded TR.



I wonder if any amount of pleading can bring it back?

Yeah, I'm still annoyed by how weird and boring this thing looks. The Gauss looks like a modernized Gauss. This new Cycler looks nothing like the cool looking Cycler of old.
