Dual Pistols - Custom weapons


4_Thirty_5

 

Posted

Hey gang...I'm looking for suggestions for potential (notice how that word is italicized? Pay attention to it!)new custom weapons for Dual Pistols. But before everyone goes bonkers, lemme lay out a few ground rules.

  1. They must fire bullets. No ray guys or crossbows.
  2. They must be able to fire a lot of bullets and use different ammo types...so flintlocks and their ilk are out.
  3. I'm looking for suggestions that potentially open character concepts. I don't want suggestions for seven different models of Glocks or a half dozen black, composite material, dual action only, semi-autos that all look the same from more than 6 inches away.
  4. Include links to pictures if possible.
  5. Post suggestions only. Don't debate, argue, flame, QFE, /jranger, or any of that.
  6. Not a peep about other weapon powersets
  7. Not a peep about anything else in the game
  8. Not a peep about anything else not in the game.
  9. Not a peep about these rules!
I will crush anyone who breaks one of those rules, and by crush I mean I'll ask one of the mods to delete your post (after I neg rep it.)

Perhaps things like this?



Edit: had to get the image working.

Hmmm...I think a big problem is that we don't know what you already have available for Dual Pistols. Maybe you could give us some direction on that?

I have a personal interest in seeing something akin to these for the set. I have a few other random ideas, but I really don't know guns all that well, nor what would really open up character concepts. The set itself kinda already does that.

Can we at least have confirmation on whether or not all of the existing Dual Pistols options from Thugs will be available? Because I wouldn't mind some updated long-barreled and snubnose revolver designs.

Here's my pick!



AWC Amphibian S

Edited for the name, off chance you make my dreams come true, use it, and have no idea what to call it.

Posting these just so people know what the game has to offer already:

Clip fed sawed-off shotgun with pistol grip.


Desert Eagle with some crazy trimmings.


Was going to add the Taurus Judge as well, but it looks pretty similar to the Magnum Revolver already in-game.

The Atomic Rockets web site has a whole page dedicated to futuristic sidearms. A few of my favorites:

Gyrojet:


Cosmo-Dragoon:


Calico M950 9mm:


un-named pistol with lots of "bling":

At first glance, trying to find something "workable yet out of the ordinary" I came across this:




Sure, it would need some modification, but it allows for a different type of gunslinger, ya know?

And secondly, one a little more modern, yet readily availible to follow the "rules"...

MP5k and Vz61 Skorpion - both are movie classics as akimbo guns.


Global - @Seigi no Akuma | Freedom mains:
Galvanized Justice - Electric Melee/Shield Scrapper
Overclocked Justice - Fire Blast/Traps Corrupter
Insanguinato - Fire Blast/Kinetics Corrupter
Insanguinata - Night Widow/Fortunata

Here's a cool one, the Brügger & Thomet TP9:




And another:



Here's a machine pistol by Kriss:







Underneath all the mean-looking pistol bits this is actually a Ruger 10/22:



This is the Sig Sauer P556 SWAT:



Lastly, a gatling pistol would be pretty fun!


EDIT:
From SVIguns.com, the IMM Open Pistol:


Freedom: Blazing Larb, Fiery Fulcrum, Sardan Reborn, Arctic-Frenzy, Wasabi Sam, Mr Smashtastic.

About the only one I couldn't see would be, of course, the flintlock. But confirmation would be good.

Here are a few ideas I was able to find.

Obviously my first choice would not make it in as is, but I'll post it for my own geekiness.




Here's a few that look unique or could possibly fit the bill.

Match Compensators that are already in-game look really cool, maybe we could get those minus the laser sight? Maybe add the ability to add some color to them?

Hmm, Judge Dredd's Lawgiver. Granted, it's probably a copyrighted design.

While this is City of Heroes, and a comic book game at that, please do keep in mind that the Desert Eagle is one *big* firearm to have. Wielding two of them may look good in the movies, but unless you have huge strong hands, you're not going to hit anything doing so.

M-1911 Colt should definitely be on the list.

Before you say "Boring!" Here's somethings you can do with the M-1911...

Walther P38



Old German gun. Good for WWII characters, and we all know more NAZI characters are a good things.

Also Megatron was one.


Beyond that, I would ask you include some "elemental" guns. They don't have to look like silly ray-guns, not at all. But if you're allowing for ice/fire/acid bullets. I would request some ice/fire/acid motif guns. Now I can't actually FIND any guns like that. But... you can use your imagination. Gun with little icicles hanging off it, snow flakes on the sides. Flowing/dripy design for an acid one. A glock with flame stickers on it!

Ok, maybe not on the last one. But you get the idea. In the proud tradition of theme characters, theme weapons to go along with them. In addition to fire/ice/acid, you could throw in some animals. Barrel of the gun shaped like the animal with it's mouth open(where the bullets come out). Bear, snake, eagle, wolf, etc.


You know, I'm really not finding any pictures non-gun guns... And for the record, don't google "bear pistol" images without the safety on. yeesh




Not what I was looking for but here's some others I found digging around on the net. Some are obviously copyrighted, I assume you won't just outright steal these. But maybe they'll give you some ideas for other unique pistols.

Somethin steampunk!

I like the large clip sawed off shotgun thought as well. I just need SOMETHING steampunk.


Be well, people of CoH.

You have my vote for more futuristic weapons.







These last ones would be awesome. Pistils with glowmaps... very shiny.

Also, a pistol companion to the Vanguard Redding Rifle wouldn't go amiss.


Necrobond - 50 BS/Inv Scrapper made in I1
Rickar - 50 Bots/FF Mastermind
Anti-Muon - 42 Warshade
Ivory Sicarius - 45 Crab Spider

Aber ja, nat�rlich Hans nass ist, er steht unter einem Wasserfall.

Oh! Don't forget clockwork or steampunk guns

When looking at this you should think about characters/time periods/worlds. As much I would love to have 7 different modern or futuristic weapons lets not forget the creativeness that goes behind creating a character:

Blunderbuss - For the Pirates/Colonial/Historical characters


Zip Gun - For the Inmates/Sewer People/Barbaric characters



Concealed (cane/umbrella/peppermint stick) - For the Gentleman/Mastermind/Zany Characters


Finger Gun - For the Robot/Mechanical/Abomination Characters


And lets not forget to get creative

Magic Bullets - For the mystical/telekinesis/Dimensional Entity characters



I hope my spin on the dual pistol power set helps - Good Luck!
