[url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Forums/Post/219638913?sort=0&page=0]Its been awhile, but I promised more.[/url]. So here is the next Flat Earth Destiny Arsenal - weapon concepts inspired by Flat Earth Thought. As both a Flat Earth Theorist and a major fan of the game, this is a series of threads I particularly enjoy. [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Forums/Post/219638913?sort=0&page=0]The first weapon was a sniper.[/url] So today I'd like to present a shotgun: [b]#2: Against The Spin[/b] [b]Shotgun[/b] [b]Weapon Description:[/b] [i]Amidst the current I shall guide you, Against the current I shall steady you[/i] [b]Exotic Perk, Invisible Magic:[/b] Every shot has 15% chance of producing [i]no[/i] recoil. Massive stopping power despite long range and agile handling. Penalty to stability and rate of fire. [b]Notes On Weapon Stats:[/b] Imagine a long range, precision shot gun like [i]The Chaperone [/i], [u]but that actually works[/u]. While the penalty to stability and rate of fire would keep this gun from being too OP, its almost max range and impact would make it truly formidable. Imagine a gun like Matador, with more range and impact, but that requires some skill to use effectively. Given the recent nerfs, offering us a weapon like this would allow Bungie to give us something even while taking. As a shotgun user, I would like it... [b]Flat Earth Conceptual Background[/b] [spoiler][i]Against The Spin[/i] refers to the many observable phenomena on earth [b]that directly defy[/b] the spherist physics conceptually possible on a globe earth. For example, [b]some rives flow from the east towards the west, [i]against the spin of earth's rotation[/i][/b]. [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narmada_River]The Narmada river in India flows in this way, directly against the supposed 1000mph spin of the earth.[/url] How is this possible? Because the Earth IS Flat and the [i]visible effects[/i] of gravitation are better explained by [url=https://flatearthandthought.com/2017/02/15/flat-earth-principles-the-obligate-tendency-towards-downward-motion/]Universal Acceleration[/url] But spherists will likely claim that the [b][i]invisible magic[/i][/b] of gravity somehow explains how a body of water can overcome the directional force of 1000mph. [b]And thats the problem with spherist/scientific explanations:[/b] [b][i]they are invisible.[/i][/b] Citing "facts", like being able to toss a ball up and down on a moving bus or train, spherists refer to phenomenon as counter examples that have no relation to reality. They use the [i]invisible magic[/i] of smooth but faulty reasoning to [i]convince[/i], not [i]explain[/i]. And many of us accept their explanations simply because they come prepackaged with the official stamp of scientific "authority". Flat Earth Theory offers rational explanations that are consistent not only with what is observed in nature (the Narmada river), but with what is conceptually possible as well. FET theorists do not just concoct vague explanations out of thin air, they actually look at the facts by engaging with nature through observation...[/spoiler]
