Captain Obvious Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 Re: Cool Guns for your Games I presume it comes with "Shock the Monkey"? "Ride the Lightning" would also be a good selection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gewing Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 Re: Cool Guns for your Games I'm in the same boat. =) While I didn't like the initial submissions of their design' date=' it is getting interesting. FN's FS2000 is also very interesting. THe only thing about these rifles is they look like there's some kind of "droop" in the line of the rifle for some reason. Dunno. Interesting concept, though, for sure.[/quote'] I am actually most interested in the 24 " barrel, thoough the 18 inch "Carbine" would be a superb "Car Gun." Yeah, that picture does make the barrel look like it droops. Odd... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matrix3 Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 Re: Cool Guns for your Games How cool would it be to shoot something with that monster? How about shooting something with the Navy's Rail Gun? The ultimate objective: A shell is launched at Mach 7 through the electromagnetic rails into the atmosphere for about one minute, flies out of the atmosphere for four minutes, and then descends to Earth toward its target at Mach 5 in approximately one minute. The projectile is guided using the Global Positioning System. Some links: [Danger Room][Navy Times][i found it via Gizmodo] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remjin Posted February 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 Re: Cool Guns for your Games Wow, I got a thread message! Yay! Cool new stuff, guys! The little gun page is certainly full of interestingly weird stuff, and that anti-tank rifle is insane. The rail gun video was most excellent, if a bit scary... in a good way. =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opal Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 Re: Cool Guns for your Games I remember one cool looking gun I saw in American Rifleman as a kid. It was a prototype that competed with the M1911. It's funny, I've seen it once in my life, never heard mention of it again, but it only took a few minutes to find a picture on line: http://nra.nationalfirearms.museum/tour/graphics/1907%20Savage.jpg Actually, that probably doesn't strike anyone under 40 as funny.

Remjin Posted February 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 Re: Cool Guns for your Games Looks like a ray gun, almost. =) Are those cartridges necked? Very odd. I'm glad we went with the 1911. =) On an entirely other note, anyone here ever seen a picture of a real revolver with a picatinny rail top, slab-side barrel, full underlug, that looked like one piece? I posted a picture of an airsoft version here somewhere, but I swear I saw a real gun like it somewhere else. I want to find the gunsmith who did it and have something similar done to my personal revolver. Maybe Gewing? You always seem to know about all sorts of odd firearm stuff. =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susano Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 Re: Cool Guns for your Games Meet the AA12, the world’s first (and scariest) automatic shotgun, built by Jerry Baber of MPS. From Discovery Channel’s FutureWeapons: It’s a gun that could end up rewriting the rules of urban warfare. I’d like to introduce you to the shotgun for the 21st century, the AA 12. The Auto Assault 12 is a fully automatic, gas operated, low recoil, 12 gauge shotgun designed specifically for the military. One blast from the shotgun is terrifying enough, but the AA12 delivers an incredible rate of nearly 300 rounds a minute. Video: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bismark Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 Re: Cool Guns for your Games The 'gun bunny' in me is almost having a 'gun-gasm'... (of course, living in the UK I could never actually own one - not legally, anyway:thumbdown) Odd that I had already thought of something almost exactly like this thing years ago (complete with specialist ammo) for my SF games...it was called the "Death Cloud" Some questions arise from this video: 1. Do those fins make the round spin? (I know it is possible to use canted fins to make projectiles fired from a smoothbore weapon spin; just wondering whether or not they do in this case) 2. I wonder what the AP round is like (is it kinetic or HEAP? - obviously, if the round does spin, then HEAP is less efficient because the spinning has bad effects on the molten metal/gas jet) 3. If the round could be made to spin at a reasonable rate using canted fins, I wonder whether a workable HESH round could be made for it? Of course, some of you guys with more practical gun experience (I have not touched one since 1987:thumbdown) could probably enlighten me.
