In the game, I think it had two fire modes... I'm hard pressed to remember anymore, but they were... uh... klingon disruptor style energy weapons, I think?

I've seen this knife. Very spy movie-ish, eh? Now put that down, Mr. Bond... supposedly there's one that shoots the blade out, but not sure of legality or even if it works worth a fart. =) I've heard of the handguard breaking with too narrow handles on the fore-end, but not mutilations... this is the keltec bullpup shotgun you're talking about?

This was in the.... 2nd Dirty Harry movie, wasn't it? Very neat. Good find! Very unique looking. Can't say those guns look very high tech to me, but that's just my opinion. The derringers just look like cast barrels with injection molded grips. The castings look like cast iron, almost. The few intratec weapons I've ever handled were... ummm... they concerned me. If you're interested in high capacity magazines, these magazines from SureFire for AR15s are interesting. The Spectre looks interesting but kind of ugly. Would be curious to know how it actually works. Very compact looking, which is neat, and ugly can be very cool in some ways. =) Either way, nice finds. =)

Very interesting SMGs? Two variations, I think... NERF guns. =) More at this site.

Apparently from Gears of War (never played it).

These are prop weapons from Mass Effect... looks sweet.

With which one? I don't know what "Kell" is. Is that the russian one? I know the Rossie one in .410 has a blast shield to prevent damage from that area. =) I don't see evidence of one on the russian 255.

I have a picture for that, but I couldn't ge the link to work. It looks pretty sweet when cut down like a classic cut-down. Yeah, they just look cool, IMO. I'd purchase that sort of thing if it were cheap, like I would consider (if I weren't currently broke) buying that cheap winchest lever shotgun (like in Terminator 2) that someone is making just for giggles and neat factor, but probably not for too serious use. Though, frankly, the action and some of it's features do fascinate me. However, the Crye Six12 fascinates me and if not idiotic in price, I may pick one up just because of it's ability to be mounted on a rifle and be civilian legal.

Some others in this type of gun... A home-made monster: http://www.everydaynodaysoff.com/2011/02/02/revolving-shotgun-built-from-scratch/ And, also, this, a russian MTS 255: Call of Duty version: Pistol version:

I want one of these when it comes out. Plans are for a civilian version that can still be mounted underbarrel without being ridiculous thanks to its bullpup design. Can also be used as a stand-alone shotgun. All in one kit. Double action trigger is my only concern, depending on how they do the trigger. However, not a concern in a game! You can find this at six12.com By itself... Civilian version, mounted:

Magic brick... hmmm... Ritualized brick powers where spells and such are carved/inked onto his body. Individual abilities or groups of them activated by tapping into these symbols of his power. The idea being that his power has been limited and thus he had to transform them sort of thing to a more useable level. Limited use of each portion kind of thing. Thus, all the normal brick powers and more are possible, but only on a limited basis, making for more interesting play with some flavor. It doesn't have to be body stuff, it could be any conduit, really, to make this general idea work. Elementals are always fun, so I like most of those ideas. Using the chinese flavor might be more fun for a change of pace. Also, if I remember correctly, another flavor includes "void" as an element to represent nothingness/emptiness, which might make for an interesting elemental type. "Drawn" powers, or those deriving from taking power from other things might be interesting. Not necessarily just Drain or transfer powers, but just as a special effect. Taking on aspects of materials or spirits and the like are pretty fun. Just some thoughts. =)

Ooooh.... Heck, I think cerakote has all the colors for that. That would be sweet!

I just wonder how he carried that monster... it was shown in American Handgunner magazine at some point as a sort of oddity. =) I can't remember if the article said how he carried it.

S'long as it's still useable, I wouldn't say much about any of the many aesthetic choices. Its like anything... you like wood on your AR15, some might want a skull. I'd like mine with an underbarrel shotgun... =) This is on the old side, not sure how to link the pics... so here's the link: http://www.everydaynodaysoff.com/2010/06/11/futuristic-weapon-design-by-pascal-eggert/ Y'know, to stay on topic. =)

I don't think forum postings count as a legacy. =) Then again, considering some of the crazy archived stuff I've seen come up in searches, maybe a little bit...

A: "I have the cooking skill. I want to make jelly beans." B: "Ummm... okay. Do you have the ingredients?" A: "What are jellybeans made of?" C: "I thought I read somewhere gelatin was originally made from bone somehow. That's what jellybeans really are, right?" B: "Okay, let's go with that. Do you have any bone?" A: "No... but we just killed those elves." B: "YOU'RE GOING TO HARVEST BONES FROM THE DEAD ELVES... TO MAKE JELLYBEANS?!" A: "Yeah. So?" C: "These are going to be the evilest jellybeans." A: "So, should they be black then?" C: "Yes, as black as your little heart."

That cane fighting video looks like two guys using chinese straight sword techniques with wood sticks. Some of the footwork and spinning like a tart reminded me of wushu stuff. *shrug* (I say this as a former practitioner of southern kung fu styles, so I have some bias... =) ) Lots of classic stuff here. Some more ideas: It helps him walk (sorry, had to) Motion sensor in the cane, perhaps relaying information to him via the grip or a HUD in his glasses/contacts. a simple spike, protuding from... well, anywhere. Perhaps more than one. An actual grapple. Smallish spines extend from the end, curving as they come out, plenty of space for line in the shaft. The ability to come apart with chain/line (monofilament, even) so that he could use the cane as a three-piece staff, nun-chuks, or even a kind of chain whip. One or more options, depending on what you like. With monofilament or wire, it adds another nuance as garrotte or otherwise. Maybe even a fishing pole. =) Oh, with the chain whip bit, if the handle is curved, it could be like the end of a scorpion tail, making it even more visually interesting. Even as a regular handle it would still be a hooked part at the end. Kind of neat. (now I'm gonna use this one...) Partial high friction or frictionless section, thus his parries or or ripostes might be rather odd or disconcerting in its irregularity. Have the handle (or other section, I suppose) be an incredibly strong magnet when he likes. Have said magnet interact with pieces on his body he could control, making it an interesting point of leverage or even grip. Depending on how fantastic you're going, maybe it can even achieve the whole lightsaber pull trick or various throwing gags. Stuff it full of dynamite that he can throw out (or other explosive) of the end of it. hehe. Use the classic single weapon splits into two halves bit (like those chinese swords). This one is a bit out there, but have the cane actually be an extended piece of his arm like a cyber-implant weapon sort of thing, so he can retract it and thrust it out as he wishes. It changes into an umbrella. (I know, the cleverness is overwhelming... /sarcasm) I feel like there's another idea bouncing around in this noggin... but all that's coming out is that it has a companion cane that, when combined, allows you to summon the Power of Grayskull. *sigh* Oh, a super suction cup sort of end. Makes it hard to get away from him, uses it to disarm or even apply a kind of hold or something. hehe. Okay, kind of Penguin, but four or more of the sides split off and start whirling around the tip like plane propellers... allowing him to float and/or attack people with it. I'll stop there before I get more ridiculous. I didn't get the impression you were looking for silly or out there, but some of those seem like decent ideas. Dunno. Hope that helps.

Y'know, with this kind of stuff... I think people just like having some fun with their guns, and seems to me that's okay s'long as it doesn't interfere when it comes time to use 'em. I like the skull one, but I just keep thinking about how I'd paint it, so it's probably just a miniature hobbiest thing. =)

You mean THIS? =)

Ugh, I was reading back... sheesh, I talked too much and was way into my own opinions. *sigh* I don't think I was a total douche, but maybe it's just old me cringing at younger me.

No, because... "Started by Remjin, May 22 2007 09:58 PM"

I... can't believe this thread is still here. Neat.

Wow, a lot of the same people posting here. Been away awhile... thought I'd drop in. =)

Re: Cool Guns for your Games Always did like the .460 rowland concept.... in an XD? Well, that is an interesting iteration. =)

Re: Cool Guns for your Games Just came across a S&W Combat Magnum with a 4" barrel for $450. Gunsmith already safety checked it and its good. The rear sight seems a tad off, but more to the point... somebody chromed it. Decently, but its still chromed. *sigh* I'm still tempted to buy it. It has the numbered cylinder holes, recessed, ramped sight (missing the colored bit), the whole business otherwise. *sigh* Trigger seems good, otherwise everything seems to move right and all that... just... argh...
