I know I know, every time I come back after going away I have another model of a gun that I made in an antiquated style no longer demanded by computer restrictions which will never be textured, edited or used for anything. You probably think that's what this thread is going to be about too. And if you think that, then you're right.



The fusion pistol from Marathon, my favorite FPS when I was a kid (my favorite FPS that wasn't Dark Forces, at least). The concepts from the game are pretty vague, so I had to use my imagination (on the ammo cartridges, for example). The main thing that remains true to the original is the unmistakable and, now that I look at it, completely unholdable grip. Honestly I don't know what they were thinking, but it's their ergonomic blunder not mine.

fantastic as always sir

reminds me of a bigger version of a narn pistol from B5

if(getThingFlags(source) & 0x8){
  do her}
elseif(getThingFlags(source) & 0x4){
  do other babe}
else{
  do a dude}

I like the amount of barrels. It kills you four times!

I figured as long as I was adding diodes I might as well add a lot. There was a secondary fire mode in Marathon that was a charged shot, so maybe they could fire in series for a semi-auto primary and all could fire at once for the secondary.

i didnt know you were still around....

What does the big lump in front of the guard do?

It hurts.

Only cause its good.

Looks like some sort of battery or power cell? I'm not familiar with Marathon or the weapons in it.

The lump in front of the guard is the battery. It wasn't entirely clear from the Marathon sprites how the battery was supposed to be loaded or where the battery ended and the gun began, so I just sort of came up with my own design that fit the shape of the concept. It looks essentially the same.

Another marathon gun, the Magnum Mega Class. Again I have no idea what the developers were thinking. The grip is awkward, the trigger is in a funny place, and on the original concept I'm pretty sure there's actually a revolver chamber in spite of the fact that it's a clip-fed, semi auto pistol. Go figure.
