Amazing weapons from the past (Heavy Thread)

[Archbio]

As a rule of thumb, law enforcement isn't amused by things like gun-canes. So that's kind of out. I guess?

But I did hyperventilate.

It was at a better angle to show it off when I saw it, but still totally epic.

I wonder what size/type of bullet it was designed to carry? Looks like a right pain to do any maintenance/jam fixing on it.

You should see the thing in person. For the time it was made, it was perfectly adequate. I believe it was a one-shot ball musket of some sort, so the idea was you could shoot first and then worry about using it to block and guard, in a time when accuracy and reloading really weren't issues. This was not a dueling pistol or one that was supposed to carry you through an entire battle at range.

Meh, I was doing it while trying to carry on a conversation with friends, and it's hard for me to talk and type. I thought I at least did the handle pretty well.

judging by the size of the barrel of the gun and that it has a very small grid-like window right there, me thinks it's probably something closer to a "personal cannon". Probably has the same function that a musket would have but with the added "shield", probably good for shooting fr om windows and partial cover

Also, if you take the Whip gun and add a metal ball to the point, you get a Flail gun and that's just awesome!

I'm surprised there was no gunbrella. The Penguin is very disappointed with you all.

One thing I can't understand is why there is no gun hat. I searched a few times, but haven't found anything.

The poison umbrella isn't enough?

I'm more interested in gunglasses. It's the closest thing you'll get to laser eyes, and I imagine they're quite fashionable! If crazy, and totally impractical, but isn't that the whole point?

Awesome stuff, by the way. So much crazy in one place.

Sure, if you don't mind having your head knocked back from the recoil every time you fired. There wouldn't be much on a gun that size, but it would still be there and you could get a nasty cramp if you weren't prepared.

I mean this entire thread is crazy, but yowch.

So how about Flashlight Guns? Gunbikes? ...The Guntendo DS?

[Donomni]

IT PRINTS DEATH! *BANG*

On the crazy idea note, where's my lazer watch?

XD The gunwhip sounds more like Final Fantasy than Castlevania, IMO.

I want one so hard.
