[SUGGESTION] Weapon: Ice Burster

Seems like I'm not the only one thinking that this should be a short/medium range weapon, thanks kojn^
As for "complete freezing", it's not a good idea... That's why I suggested a "stopping power": any physical movement you were doing at that moment is stopped(need to hit the button again to continue?-­­>but would this be new-player friendly?)
For the slowdown, I don't think it would make the weapon useful if you need to shoot your target all the time to get it... The slowdown could last a few seconds (10? less? more?) and the reload time of the weapon should be based on that time so you can't slowdown everyone in 2 seconds and then do almost all you want (something like "reloadtime=slowdowntime*somevalue"
That value should be greater than 1, but smaller than 3... maybe even 2 would be to big...

Edit: For heat producing weapon: should the heat generated by bullets be considered? I mean it's not like an explosion or lava (got a point here, lava would render the gun useless). I've never been shot, and don't intend to, but I don't believe that bullets carry a lot of heat. For plasma or other hi-tech weapon, I think it will need further discussion and that the type of projectile will be a determinant point in the decision.
