I'm pretty sure the weapons use a combination of E-zero magic and normal rail gun designs. I posted in an earlier post that they tried to observe how much recoil railguns produce and found none. But there's still controversy why that is etc etc.

 

Railgun recoil is just different from how a chemical / cartridge gun works.  If you mount the power supply rigidly and just try to measure longitudinal force on the rails, you get a result of nearly nothing, because the force on the rails is mostly just away from each other, not back.  The recoil should be most prevalent at the part closing the circuit of the rails opposite the armature.

 

Isn't that a little slow to cause such an explosion? I mean I don't know to what kind of bullet you're referring to but here's a 20mm anti-tank rifle:

 

I didn't draw that comparison, but it was actually a 20mm Oerlikon FFS.  Projectile mass 122g, velocity 830m/s.  Not my numbers, but that gets you about 100 kg m/s projectile momentum, recoil would also need to account for powder.

Just have the option to change between clips and overheating, then everyone is happy.

I want swords, I want to be able to go through the entire game using my omni tool or some energy based photon sword. Kinda like a light saber but with an actual sword as it's base just enveloped in energy. Probably not going to get that but it'd be awesome.

Actually I heard something about this. Supposedly they will let us have more omni-weapons (like in multiplayer) so, maybe there will be sword ^^

that would be amazing, I wonder if they do do this will you be able to send forth a energy slash at your enemies?

Omni weapons are only fun if melee combat works. If it's like in DA:I (same engine), then people will be quite unhappy.

I doubt its going to be like DAI, after all the frostbite engine is used for all kinds of games.

They should add omni bayonets, every game is made better with bayonet charging.

I'd say everything is better with a Krogan charge. I mean ME3 multiplayer? Holy **** the first time I made that charge was awesome!

I don't know, are there any DICE games that actually use melee? Most of them are ranged combat with guns, I'm sure.

I think the krogan are my favorite MP characters. I love their glee when you kill things with their faces.

Hell 2 the naw!!! The melee combat animations are very primitive and boring. They should've introduce mocap instead to make melee and unarmed combat more real and fluid like.

I wish. But they can use biotic whips though!

I still wonder how they power all that stuff. 

You know what's weird? The Normandy could equip Thanix cannons in ME2 but for the reaper war nobody bothered to install at least some?

Most ships installed them, you can read about it in the codex and in the war assets. Otherwise they wouldn't have had a chance against the Reapers. With it, the Turians actually managed to win some encounters.

I'd relies on well-crafted swords, axes and hammers made from Andromedan alloy. When things got bad really quick and your high-techy stuff did not work, then you resorted to one specific thing only; survival.

Yes I read that too. But you never saw any of them in the cinematics. Always just the same old cannons. I mean when they shoot  it's kinda of like a particle weapon stream so you should notice it.

I really don't see swords becoming a thing again. I mean today's weapons jam and have limited ammunition so on and so forth but really, do you see any military reinstating large melee weapons again?

Mass Effect Fields.

This time make ammo mods as equipment not class-related, and to set up a gunsmith perk or a system to customize, modify, and upgrade any piece of weaponry @ your disposal. And I think that they should look at military weapon technology in the real world to give Mass Effect weapon systems an edge.

They wouldn't.  Unless there is a contrived reason, like a "stasis field" that renders useless anything more complicated than medieval weapons.
