“I sure do hate drawing guns,” I said as I scripted an intricate close-up of a disassembled gun.
Ah, range time. This ought to be interesting~
Interesting design of a weapon there. Short slide, no visible recoil mechanism for it, modular extensions for fixed barrel and compensator/suppressor chambers. Got a little bit of everything.
Slide mechanism is probably augmented with newer technology, most likely electromagnetic in nature to reset the slide and firing pin mechanisms; plus might also help dampen recoil.
Scale might be off, but it looks like that’s firing a round .45″ caliber or larger. Magazine doesn’t look like these would be larger cartridge variants. Could it be a .50 action express instead? I would expect big bullets if we’re talking firearms for Idols here, though I personally would just suggest a grenade launcher and full-auto, mag fed shotgun, loaded with slugs. Just my preference or course 😀
By the way, don’t mean to seem like I’m nitpicking here, I just like knowing how things work! Scifi guns rarely make any sense, and I made peace with that ages ago!!
PS: SciFi guns also don’t Need to make sense!!! It ain’t that big a deal.
Thats actually a real gun, its called the Maxim 9 from Silencerco. I think it came out like last year or something. And while not electromagnetic the action is still quite cool, its just not totally shown in the last picture. Either way, these are some nice drawings of it, props Rebecca!
they might be stick ammo so no mage and no or very few moving parts weapons can be made a Multitude of ways and this Institute has access to all the latest in Deadly hardware…so those might even be caseless flechette rounds or Immi might just have used a cartoon y version of the Auto 9 from Robocop.
My first impulse was “It’s a Taser” with the lead-packs below the barrel, but the Maxim 9 works too. Especially when the targets are being punched with nice little holes instead of seeing the leads coming back… And with big ears and sensitive hearing, I can see where integral supressors would be demanded.
For field work there are times you want to have both less-than-lethal and Very Lethal available. But you practice with a different type target.
I agree- modern weapons can be HARD to draw! It’s also had to make props of them.
IMO- that’s probably why they made simple-looking pistols, for the 1960s, Star Trek show.
I can see them saying: ” Um…these are our country’s main weapons…phaser pistols!
…And we’re not gonna show you [how] their insides work. They just [work]….OK?”
😀
Love that Tiger
I personally love the use of the Maxim 9. The more forward distribution of the weight makes it a good choice for inexperienced shooters by making the recoil easier to deal with.
now that I go back to this again it more remands me of the 10mm Pistol from fallout 4 Barrel extinction for Greater range and accuracy extended Mags etc…
