I vote C. It's the rifle that combines "retro" with "cool" in the most balanced proportions, in my opinion.

I picked F 'cause C looks more like the laser from the steampunk pack a bit, but they all looked okay.
No trigger guard though?It makes them look weird IMO.

Wow, a really rough choice.
Um ...
"A"
American Dawg, Starblaze, Neanderthal Joe, Shining Dawn, Tokamak Dragon, Stinger Incarnate, Burning Tyger, Dover Tornado, Big Roach, Dark Paladin, Archmage Wylde, Kings Row Hornet, Prancing Deer

Having a difficult time choosing between A, D, and F...
Who do I have to *&^% around here to get more Targeted AoE recipes added?

I very much like the looks of Options B and D ... although Option B really needs a longer rear pistol grip and foregrip.

I want them all =[...But I picked F. Though I had a yen for A and B.
They all look wonderful, but if there's one really unique thing about F, it's the double barrel. And the design feels like a mix of magic and tech. I can work with that =p
Pinnacle & Virtue:
A bunch of Heroes - Alpha Team, Legion of Order.
A bunch of Villains -Black Citadel , Pinnache.
I can foresee more clipping issues that the game already has with the celestial rifle with some of these.
I picked B because it reminds me of a gun one of my action figures had when I was a kid.
Voted A, it reminds me of my U22 
which I love

Hard choice - just about the only one I really -didn't- like was D because it looked a little too plain.
I voted for A just because it looked a little more "plausibly realistic" and less "random open holes for no reason" than the rest. *shrugs*

I love them all, but I picked A for the big rings on the front.
Please try my custom mission arcs!

Death for Dollars! (ID 1050)
Dr. Duplicate's Dastardly Dare (ID 1218)
Win the Past, Own the Future (ID 1429)
these don't work so well for me. There's nothing leaping out there and saying "Must have" - they are the most "meh" of the options I've seen so far but I think A is my choice

Gonna agree that most of these do not stand out for me. It's more an issue of trying to pick which of these designs look the least like a "back massager".
Look at D and tell me I'm wrong.

C reminds me too much of the original Frankengun. Guess it's A, the George Jetson gun, for the pleasantly cheesy space rings.
Please try MA arc ID 351455, "Shard Stories: Scavenger's Hunt." Originally created for the Dr. Aeon contest, it explores the wild potential of one of the City's most concept-rich but content-poor settings: the Shadow Shard.

Same for me, with C and E being tied for #2.|

My main criteria was how well the gun matches the vibe of 'retro Sci-Fi'. D is a bit plain, B doesn't look retro to me and the double barrel of F would look odd, since it wouldn't match up with the single projectiles guns in the game use (including the most appropriate, beam rifle).
A, C and E all look suitably retro and the clean lines and wacky rings of A pushed it over the top for me.
I would want B if it was turned sideways and was an arm cannon instead of a rifle.
E and F have cool alien vibes, but I'll go with C.
I had to go with A, it fits the "gut feel" of the set. I really, Really wanted to go with C because it actually looks more like a rifle with a stock and sight. Major flaw with that was the oblong oval that BLOCKS the sight making it useless. Actually if you could place a stock and sight on option A or move the sight on option C to the top, placing the oblong on the other side and make the rings the same size as on option A that would make it perfect!
voted a for AWESOME
D, please.
Difficult. It came down to A or C, and the rings finally won me over to A.
F is a very interesting design, but to me, it says "alien tech" more than "retro sci-fi". (It does bring Niven disintegrators to mind, but those were theoretically more digging tools than weapons.) I hope the concept comes up again, though, in a context it fits better.
The Way of the Corruptor (Arc ID 49834): Hey villains! Do something for yourself for a change--like twisting the elements to your will. All that's standing in your way are a few secret societies...and Champions of the four elements.
The correct answer is all.
Make all of them.
...and make it so any archetype, blaster, dual pistols, masterminds can use them.
Ignoring anyone is a mistake. You might miss something viral to your cause.
I finally chose A, for its rings, but even more than the other polls going on right now, this was a hard decision. Honestly, I'd like to see A and F and maybe E, too.

B is the most versitile so i go with that one
I'm not saying what I chose but this was a tough one. Thanks for letting us take part in this guys! Such a cool way to be involved.
