Warning! Read before you post. This is a serous suggestion, not a lag rage thread. Another warning, I thought this on a car ride home, albeit a long one, so this may not be fully thought out. balancing suggestions comments will be helpful.

The lag gun is a two-shot (debatable) elemental (maybe shadow?) gimmicky gun. note that I choose elemental because I feel that would be the most useful although I am not sure if it should have a shadow branch or not. roughly look like a one-handed sniper (or a pistil with a long barrel and a scope) with an energy container at the back, mainly out of no better ideas for the looks. As it levels up, the barrel will get slightly longer, the energy container will glow brighter, and it may get some flair at the handle. Color depends on element. (EDIT) It could also look like one of the speed guns police use spiral knights-ized.(END EDIT) If anyone comes up with a better idea for the looks, tell me.

Now lets get to what it actually does. After all, I'm no good at art. I pretty much just copied antigua and the alchemer lines looks mostly for it. Anyway, the lines names will go like this, if only elemental:
2* The lag
3* Disruption
4* One Bar
5* Discon

If a shadow and ele lines:
2* The lag
3* Three Bars (ele) Shifted (shadow)
4* Two Bars (ele) Disruption (shadow)
5* One bar (ele) Discon (shadow)

Now your probably wondering why everything is named after lag. One reason is because of a bad joke. The other reason is the gimmick. The lag lines bullets, well, lag. When you shoot, the bullets wait about .5-2 seconds (depending on the * level, high levels lag more, but the bullets move faster (debatable)) before firing for 7-8 spaces. Now you may be thinking "why would anyone want that?" The answer comes in two parts. One is damage, The 5* versions damage is roughly Iron slug and callahans (though just barely under.). The other reason Is the charge. The charge would leave bullets suspended for 20-40 seconds or until the wepon is fired, in which it fires normally from the position it was in, doing no special damage, but the thing is it's like the catlyser as you can lay multiple at once, thus you are able to make traps. This wepon is mainly for killing slow enemies like lumbers, and has a hard time against wolvers and fiends. That is all I can think of.

This would fall under my own personal classification of "bomb" since it has a delayed effect. I'd be fine with using it as a sneaky way to get another single-target bomb, but for actual shooting purposes it seems it'd be rather hard to aim.

Why would you call a gun "Lag"? What if people say that they are lagging? It sounds like they are using a Lag gun for the battle. I suggest renaming it, because it doesn't really fit in and there is no reason why someone would call it "Lag gun"

@benightz THAT'S THE JOKE.

@benightz THAT'S THE JOKE. "One reason is because of a bad joke."
@addisond It's meant to be a powerful gun with a setback, thats why it's hard to aim.

Sorry for the bump, this will be the only time on this discussion. On a side note I made a small edit to the main post.

I think one of the Custom Robo games had a weapon like this. If I recall correctly, it was both the Sword Gun and the Meteor Fall gun. Both were kinda OP, but they're proof that such a concept might work. Might... Work...

Unreal Flash (Flash game based on Unreal Tournament) had this gun. I didn't like it, but that was because I sucked with it xD

Seems like a good idea though.
