This is a reference page for Dark Forces weapons.
The data here was obtained from inspecting the source code of The Force Engine, which was created by reverse engineering the original Dark Forces executable. The values are hardcoded in Dark Forces.
Projectiles
Damage corresponds to player and NPC hitpoints.
Force reflects how much the player or NPC is "pushed" backwards when he is hit by the projectile. It is multiplied by the speed of the projectile.
