That'd be interesting to hack around with...
And the bee-bee gun idea is a good one for early game, not so much for late-game...

Don't forget it has significantly shorter range even shorter than the DB shotgun.

I think it has shorter effective range (chance to hit a target). The shorter the barrel, the longer the range, but less accurate is the gun.

the caster gun from Outlaw Star. pistol, takes rockets, low accuracy, smaller blast radius, more damage. or something.

Actually the shorter the barrel the shorter the range and the worse the accuracy. That is one of the reasons a rifle has a longer range and is more accurate than a pistol. Longer barrel means the powder combustion gases propel the bullet longer. (after leaving the barrel they go whichever way they want.)

Sounds reasonable, I always thought the other way. Still, I am waiting for such gun to be implemented (although I am a chaingun person).
But now when I look at howitzers or sniper rifles they all have long barrels, one exception I found is the Karl Gerat 60 artillery (http://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/60-cm_Karl_Ger%C3%A4t_040). But that's just a little off-topic [;
