I would like to see items that corresponds to costume parts or totally different stuff than normal guns.

Here are some examples:

  • A lizard or toad that spits "bullets" when you squeeze it. Different coloured toads could spit different types of bullets.
  • A floating ring of "ammunition" that revolves around the wrists (kind of like a halo) , and shoots ammo from different points in the arc. (Could with shading FX become magic bullets)
  • Spines or nails that shoots from the fingers or hand
  • Snakes that wriggles around the wrists and spits "bullets"

in line with the above, the Carp Gun...if you wont give us carp melee, hows about a Carp Gun? (please note Carp Gun does not shoot carp, shoots bullets) Given the way the hero con dual pistol graphics worked I'd think that a Carp Gun would appear to be spitting some sort of fishie bile.

More seriously I'd like to submit gungrave as a reference source or add my vote to that if it has already been submitted

obviously cereberus is copyrighted but a similar weapon would be fun.

BANG! And for the Huge model..



Agreed with the nailgun idea. If War Mace and Battle Axe have shovels, Dual Pistols can have a nail gun

  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.)
Okay, I'll give it a try. I've only skimmed the thread, but I'll try to avoid guns other people have already covered.

* The mandatory Luger Parabellum. So what if Castle already mentioned it? It needs to be added, mach schnell! (5th Column bagde unlock is optional, however)

* Since flintlocks are out, how about a Pepperbox pistol for old timers? (alternative image here, though this one is a bit danty)

* Speaking for danty, there's always the sleek, scoped .44 Magnum. Just the thing for those Pfho... err, Rikti invasions.

* For more of that futuristic look, maybe a modified version of Gene Starwind's Caster from Outlaw Star. Admittedly, that was more of a single shot energy weapon, but it would still look kick-*** firing bullets.

Those are my suggestions, at least for the moment.

My 1st choice would be a Desert Eagle. It's fairly iconic and looks good. Another good choice could be the P08 Parabellum. The .44 Magnum could fit well for the Dirty Harry fans.

For alternates, you may want to look at some SMGs, like the HK MP5, Scorpion SA Vz 61 or Mini Uzi (they also have an Uzi Pistol with that distinctive Uzi look). Granted they are not Pistols, but have distinct looks and would look good in both single shot animations as well as the cone attacks.

FYI the Desert Eagle is already in-game in the Mastermind set for Thugs.

Just a thought...Dunno if its been said yet or not but I was wondering if we could have the option of no gun and just have our pointer fingers extended, thumbs up of course. I know its prob a no go. But thought I'd mention it.

I fully support the Finger Gun!




POW! HAHA!

That's a regular automatic that sort of looks like it. A real Desert Eagle would be bigger.

It's important to note that the fingers extended option is VERY, VERY different from a wider selection of guns. Different guns are basically costume pieces so the devs have to create the gun model but once they are created they slot into the existing powers seamlessly (barring clipping problems). The pointing fingers option cannot use the costume piece option and would require the devs to make up a whole new set of animations for dual pistols that would only be used by people who wanted the no-guns finger pointing option. Now with power customization this is possible but it's a lot more work for the devs than most of the suggestions here.

Actually maybe not... Just make the fingers be a costume part. I believe that can happen to open hands/animal claws too. Make it like a costume, like a "glove" part...
Let´s face it, both bare hands and feets are damn ugly anyway, it´s not like placing fingers in that would make that much of a difference...

Not entirely sure this is feasible or not, but the thought is something along these lines would be thematically nifty to go with other Robot costume selections....

How about making "Gun Gloves" or hands? Kind of like the ED 209?





Not sure if the existing models will allow for it, but it's worth a shot.

Great pictures of what I was trying to get at in my post.
Basically, ridiculously big handguns are awesome. =D

@Draeth Darkstar
Virtue [Heroes, Roleplay], Freedom [Villains], Exalted [All Sides, Roleplay]
Code:
I24 Proc Chance = (Enhanced Recharge + Activation Time) * (Current PPM * 1.25) / 60*(1 + .75*(.15*Radius - 0.011*Radius*(360-Arc)/30))
Single Target Radius = 0. AoE Non-Cone Arc = 360.

Hoo boy, this is gonna be a long one. Castle, poking around that Internet Movie Firearms DataBase page is a great starting point.
Also, feel free to browse my collection of "cool guns pix" at: http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v3...uns/?start=all

First off, the one's I'd really like that have already been mentioned:

Beretta Neo 22s


Deckard's Gun from Blade Runner


Judge Dredd's Lawgiver (Movie Version)


And then some that I haven't seen suggested yet. I know you said they have to fire bullets, but since most Star Wars blasters are converted from slugthrowers,
I figured they'd be fine to convert back. Everyone's brother has already suggested Han's Blaster, So im not gonna post it, but here are a few others that would be cool:

Biker Scout Pistol:


Battle Droid 'Rifle'


Naboo Blaster (based on a Target Shooting pistol, need some of them)


Along the same lines, Ronon's blaster from Stargate Atlantis is basically a pimped out revolver:


Another 'Energy' weapon that could easily be converted, the Beam Pistol used by Strike Noir Gundam:


Several people have requested something along the lines of a "Square Gun", the best example of which I can think of is in Ultaviolet:



The Darkwatch Pistol is an interesting steampunk mix of Revolver and Semi-Auto


A couple people have suggested a Gyroc pistol and/or something based on the Nerf Maverick, here's a render of one I build using DAZ Studio:


A couple of Real Guns: the MAC-10's boxy profile makes it visually different from an UZI


And the H&K MP7 PDW is another distinctive Machine Pistol


Shotgun Pistol, anyone?


And, even though it's one-shot, I'd kinda like to see a Flare Gun


And lastly, someone already posted a great shot of the classic Halo 1 Pistol, which is awesome, but I've also come to like the new ODST Automag


I dunno how much twirling it would allow, but the Halo Needler would be a great starting point for those Exotic/Organic/Alien weapons people are asking for:


And, here's my ridiculously huge gun suggestion, the Brute Spiker- if it's good enough for Master Chief to dual-wield, then it's good enough for me

Mr Ambassador, with these guns you really seem to be getting some headshots...

Except that the way weapons work is that normally it displays your regular hands then when you activate a power it adds a weapon costume part to a particular node that coincides with your hands and shifts your hands into a default position (in the case of dual pistols this means fists). So to make a finger based weapon costume part the devs would need to size it so that is completely conceals your fist without clipping errors and would need to restrict it to certain glove parts or accept that players could have a rather silly looking costume.

I give you, the two coolest pistols EVER created.

Well, technically three, but two of them are a very similar pair.

1: The Samaritan, from Hellboy.


2/3: The Left and Right Head of the Cerberus, from Gungrave.


Obviously I'm not saying to put those guns in directly, but something inspired from them would be very, amazingly cool.

And as much as I hate to give away my own character ideas... a combination of them, something blocky and ornate like the Twin Heads but metal and with a revolver chamber thrown in like the Samaritan... Would be the single coolest pistol ever made.

I'm trying not to hold my hopes high, but after implementing Walk you guys are in my good books. I promise, right here, if you put in anything like the above designs, I will on the spot buy a year's subscription. You can hold me to that, I'd even put my signature on it.
