I though we already had flintlocks. Unless it was removed from the available options and I didn't notice:



If that can fire Empty Clips, I see no problem with it firing different ammo types. And there are options for Assault Rifle, like the Council submachine gun, which visually shouldn't be able to use the flamethrower. So I see no problem for sacrificing visual details for concept.

As mentioned above, the flintlocks could be advanced technology "fakes", or they could be magic. Which reminds me, how about something like what the Caretaker's shotgun turned into when weilded by Ghost Rider? Something vaguely organic, like a pistol designed by H. R. Giger.

Also, I didn't see the Mini Uzis listed on the first page. This is from Paragonwiki, in case you don't know:

For the edification of our fans, these were my suggestions:

I agree that there's a need for more "not normal" weapons. Alien looking, steampunk/retro looking, futuristic. I really like the weapon designs that are "square" shaped (or similar), that is, the ones that have some kind of guard coming off the bottom of the barrel to give the weapon a closed-circuit shape. I also like the sound of biological firearms. Arm cannons would be really awesome if it were possible, but then that would open up a whole can of customization worms so never mind. Oh yeah, and the guns with blades on them, those are neat, too.

only non-standard handgun I could find out of Call of Duty :P

Neo used two of them, guess that's reason enough to be included.

If a flintlock is out odf the question because it has issues delivering multiple ammunitions or rate of fire, add more barrels


This example has three barrels, each with its own powder pan. In RL one would have to rotate the barrels manually, but we can pretend It's just a jumping-off point.

"The Compendium of Modern Firearms" by Kevin Dockery has a huge list of firearms along with a lot of pictures, if that helps. Also, take a look at Modern D20 RPG, they have a lot of weapons in there that might be good for inspiration.

I think there are a lot of good ideas on this thread, more than will ever make their way into the game, I'm sure

My biggest concern is that there are weapons to fit all of the archtypes that are in the game. In particular, I would like to see guns that have runes on them or something. "Artifacts" that grant their wielder his "super powers."

Just a thought

Please include THE NAME of the weapon when posting a picture; don't make BABs have to look them up (and don't make us have to use mis-named or generically-named weapons!)

the .223 was based on the Pistol used by Deckard in bladerunner, and definatly needs another mention.

I'd like to see something like a Nerf Maverick in more realistic colours, like so:



I'll also second the call for Mal's Pistol, from Firefly and Serenity.

There are a lot of great suggestions in this thread. However I have my heart set on a Cowboy Gunslinger so a decent long barrelled revolver is a must.

And not to sound too ungratefull can we have one a lot less blocky that the current revolver that is already in the game?

Additionally a bio-pistol would be rather cool, basically a vaguely pistol shaped organism that fires something equivalent to bullets. I can't think of anything that uses them other than the 'nids so you get pictures of 'nids .

Oooooh...a Rularuu gun.

There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.

I, too, throw in my suggestion for steampunk/retro looking handguns that can fill the need for Steampunks/Pirates/Time Travelers/Witch Hunters.

How about The Golden Gun from The Man with the Golden Gun.

Then again, would that be considered copyright infringement?

Toy cap guns. No, seriously.

I'd prefer a more generic bio-weapon. The Rularuu ones are cool but they're also rather specific (plus I personally dislike the eyes in them).

From in game; shrink it down to pistol size and eliminate or de-Nictusize the glow and the Void Hunter Rifle would make a good "gauss pistol" ( a weapon that fires bullets accelerated by magnetic fields ). Yes, the presently in-game weapon is a ray gun but it could as easily be portrayed as firing bullets; it even has "accelerator rings".

Yo, it's not just about the look of pistol grip type weapons. It's the GLOVES (or robotic implants). Overhand fist... underhand fist...pew, pew...FTW.

One man's terrorist is another man's freedom (or freem?) fighter; just as one man's exploit is another man's feature.
