How (I think) the weapons are powered

A while back in the Discord server, I had a little theory on how each weapon was powered/upgraded.

Note: In said theory, I also theorized that the exp from enemies are life energy, which would explain why they drop it upon death.

Polar Star: A small Whimsical Star fragment inside a chassis that gradually makes it stronger upon collecting exp.
Spur: Polar Star, albeit with a larger, more unstable fragment that doesn't require life energy and uses 3 capacitors to store each level of energy.
Missile/Super Missile Launcher: Nanites that "reassemble" the launcher.
Fireball: Same as the first two, but a different energy source that gets hotter the more life energy is absorbed into it.
Blade: King's soul gets empowered by the EXP, thus strengthening it.
Nemesis: Operates on a reverse principle unlike the other weapons. Instead of operating on life, it operates on death.

I didn't form any theory for the Bubbline since I don't have a good idea of how it would work, but let me know what you think.

 

It is a bit interesting that there isn't really any lore for how the weapons are made or how they work. With the exception of the blade and the missile launchers, most of the weapons appear to be powered by some sort of energy core, shooting plasma of some sort. Right off the bat this can explain weapons like the Polar Star, the Machine Gun, and even the Spur. The Snake, given its wave-like movement as well as its ability to phase through walls, imply the weapon uses gamma radiation, also implying that the energy core for the previously mentioned weapons, as well as the Fireball, all use some sort of nuclear reactor. And with how the Whimsical Star moves almost like electrons to an atom, this can also imply charging the Spur to maximum level emits a radioactive aura, and the Whimsical Star is just that being weaponized (ignore the fact it happens with any weapon, and not just the Spur, even though it is given to you if you have the Spur in hand). This can also possibly put implications towards the Bubbler and the Nemesis, but, the methods in using them differ from the rest of the weapons in the game.

The blade, it's just a regular ol' sword, probably a katana, unfortunately Quote tosses it because imagine using a melee weapon for melee combat, it's at least nice that King got to haunt the sword and use it himself. And the missile launcher, because the rockets it launches are physical, it's more likely an older technology, probably from during or before the war, since it was just remotely in Egg Corridor, seemingly untouched from the island until just after going through the Labyrinth.

As for EXP, isn't it weird that it seems to have only come from organic/undead life, as well as Omega's projectiles and the fish missiles? It's quite possible this means Quote has the ability to convert biomass into pure energy, be it through himself or through his weapons (the former is more likely of the two), further meaning that even Omega and the fish missiles were alive.

 

My theory about how mechanical/artificial enemies (e.g, Presses) are powered was similar to the machines in Ultrakill but powered off of life energy/EXP instead of blood.

 

So uuhh. the triangle things that Quote loots from the enemies, those are doritos, & Quote has tech that converts doritos to weapon upgrades. At least that's what I think

So what turns into Mountain Dew? Everyone knows you can't have Doritos without Dew!
