It might just be crack <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
edit: er.. can we talk about that stuff here?
catpacks is actually a package of instructions for the marine's nanites (or nanobots). The instructions in the cat pack tells some of the nanites to stop doing their duties to assist the mechanics in the marine's gun. They help the parts move more efficiently, repair any worn parts, and generally make the gun run with perfect efficiency. However, since these nanobots have came from the marine, that would mean there are less nanobots fighting back the kharaa's bacteria. The bacteria then invades the marine's system (his body) and wreck havoc. Thankfully, the instructions for the nanites also tells them to return to their normal duties after boosting the gun's firing rate for a few seconds. We dont want to lose our fine men to bacteria for a small boost in their weaponary. So basically, after they do their deed, they return back to the marine, fend off the alien bacteria and the hurting stops.

thats actually pretty good, but totally illogical. Fits the NS world perfectly. I say use it!
Drugs make guns fire faster? <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
And no I don't mean the drug itself contains the instructions, but a Nanite device buried within the drug carries the instructions. This device is the thing that seperates from the drug and informs the Nanites of their task.

Everything moves faster, with the addition of funny colored objects. Stimulants are fun(ny)!
Hey look at the skulk! It's my friend... meet my bullets Mr. Skulk! Wheeee
See? How can you not understand?
But seriously, umbraed monkey and HAMBONE have the right idea. The thing makes the nanites fire your gun faster, and it also serves as a stiumlant boost making you run inhumanly fast. However, both the fact that steriods and nanites not protecting your body are both harmful, it kills 1/4 of your body... yep, exactly 1/4. (Hence the 25 hp damage dealt)
The com.
"The hive is und..."
<incert ping of doom>
Hence the idea of strategy, hopefully your comm isn't a complete idiot...
1. Chemistry. A substance, usually used in small amounts relative to the reactants, that modifies and increases the rate of a reaction without being consumed in the process.
Catalyst Packages are a combined package of bio-enhancement nanites and nanites which specifically bond to the metal of the marines weapons.
The bio-enhancement nanites act as catalysts by allowing the body of the marines to use energy faster, thus enabling him to move faster, but due to the body using up more energy in a short amount of time than normal, he loses some of his health. However, no permanent damage is inflicted on the marines body.
The nanites that bond with the metal of the weapon increase the weapon's ROF by acting as an über lubricant, enabling the moving parts of the weapons to move faster than normal. The rate of the gunpowder's reaction is also sped up by these nanites.
Whee?
If we did, shouldnt we be more concerned about where the turrets get their infinate ammo from? or how a commander can "drop" medpacks magically from above? or how the commander can magically transfer the resources from the resource towers and use them? or how the armoury can supply infinate ammo? or why no more aliens spawn when the whole team of aliens is alive? or the TSA can't spare anymore than 6/7/8/9/10 marines? or how the marines magically get their wep and armour upgrades when the research is complete? or why marines need to actually do research every single time (hasnt anyone heard of computer memory?) or how skulks can mysteriously blow up without any explosive device strapped to them? or how a little egg can suddly jump in to a massive onos? or how a lerk has infinite spikes? Or how a skulk can walk along a wall or a ceiling without their claws actually being in the wall? or how a fade as an infinate amount of acid to fire?
Does anyone care about that?

As much as this pains me to say so, kar-aks right.
