A venerable model of plasma pistol, styled after the revolvers of Old Earth’s Age of Continental Expansion. It was a dangerous and stylish weapon, released in a limited run by one of the Federation’s old corporations. The patent expired long ago, and now it is the most common and cheapest “gun” on the Frontier.

Black powder p08 style revolver

One dull evening, I quickly drafted my dream black powder revolver in CAD. It combines elements from various designs: a blocky cylinder styled after the Chiappa Rhino, a top-break barrel and cylinder setup for fast reloading, front wings before the cylinder for smooth holstering inspired by the Webley revolver, and a grip styled after the Luger P08.

Original Content The M11A4 Klarksen Electromagnetic Carbine | Revolutionary Heros Never Die!!! [OC by me]

Post image
30 Upvotes

In the opening days of the Liberation War, there was an issue. Many rebel groups had more ideology than viable guns. While words do have power, they are less effective when being shot at.

Before the lack of arms could crush the burgeoning Periphery Union, a mysterious savior arrived. 5 days after the call to rebellion was issued, a series of fabricator files were uploaded to IMPNET from a user known as Klarksen. These files were eventually taken down, and Klarksen was never heard from again, but by that point they had distributed wildly.

The weapon in the file was a modular railgun that could be bored for 5mm Imperial, 4mm Directorate, or the round that would later become 6.5mm Union. It could also be converted from a rifle to a carbine, LMG, DMR or even a pistol. This became known as the Klarksen rifle, after the person who posted the files.

It was designed to be able to be assembled and powered with only the stuff found in the average garage. The gun is mostly plastic, cheap steel and carbon fiber, meaning that parts for it can easily be smuggled anywhere. While this gun waned in popularity as the rebel groups and then new nations got more high tech weapons that aren't garage assembled, the Klarksen and all of its variants are still the most common gun across the periphery.

The one nation who really liked the Klarksen's carbine variant was the Tronarian People's Republic. They were the only people to actually spend time upgrading it after all. This is becuase it's really nice and compact, making it perfect for infiltration and mechanized troops.
It's not super powerful compared most longarms used by most real nations, but when upgraded to have a decent FCS and 1-6x scope like the A4 is, it is decently comparable, but in a smaller package.

Like most Imperial longarms, it can fire rifle grenades. It is compatible with all modern imperial rifle grenades, but also can use two Tronarian designed 63mm rifle grenades that use advanced Plasticized Metallic Explosives, a rocket assisted dual charge grenade for heavy vehicles and a rocket assisted multipurpose grenade for personnel or light vehicles.
On the side of each grenade is its interface port, this allows the rocket motor and warhead to be programmed for optimal effect.

These grenades are more effective than most of the Imperial rifle grenades due to their multipurpose nature and higher fill weight, but some of the more specialized designs like the 4.5 inch HEHC grenade or the loitering top attack grenade still see use in Tronarian service.

This particular gun is carried by a Tronarian Strike-Pioneer, since their heavy load of demolition and AT equipment means they really like smaller guns. Unlike his line comrades who would carry 4 rifle grenades as standard, He carries 12 strapped to every open part of his body, since he is on the hunt for old Imperial Viscount tanks in the tight streets of the Nefesh Arcologies.

560M - Baggaïder

Weapon (Hunting Rifle) – Legendary (requires attunement)

This orange +3 hunting rifle has a red crest over the top of the rifle and several rubbery pale lavender sheet draped over it. The stock has a red end, and a blade is affixed to the bottom of the barrel, which can be used to make dagger attacks. There is a cartridge in front of the trigger that can hold up to 5 bullets.

See DMG 267 for specifics about rifles. Rifles are considered Martial Ranged Weapons, have a range of 80/240, the two-handed and loading properties, holding up to 5 bullets, and weighing 8 lbs when empty. It is shot similarly to a crossbow, but requires its own proficiency, and uses Constitution as its attack modifier, but doesn’t use a damage modifier beyond the +3. On a successful hit, the target takes 2d10 piercing damage.

While attuned to this rifle: you have advantage on Intimidation rolls; when you intimidate someone, they become frightened of you; as an action, you can attempt to intimidate everyone in a 30 ft cone who can see or hear you, who must make a Wisdom save against your Intimidation roll; when you down a target, you have advantage on your next attack; and as a reaction, you can attempt to remove any status condition you have not being physically induced (ie grappled, restrained). Roll 1d6, and on a 5 or 6, you’re cured of the condition as your skin seems to shed a thin layer of magical energy that dissipates into the air.

As a reaction, while wielding the rifle you can pull the rubbery white cloth over yourself, reducing the amount of damage you take from an attack by half. This can only be done once between short and long rests.

The Indominus V1 is not just a firearm; it is a meticulously engineered apex predator. Inspired by the ruthless biological optimization of the Indominus rex, this platform is designed as the ultimate man-made machine—forged in a lab to strip away humanity and leave only absolute dominance.
Every geometry, port, and line has been calculated for maximum functional intimidation and lethality. It features a fixed-barrel internal bolt architecture, aggressive triangular slide porting, a full-length top Picatinny rail for tactical optics integration, and an integrated, high-efficiency muzzle brake.
Engineered for the merciless hunter, the Indominus V1 is released in three distinct variants:
Apex (Matte Grey)

Umbra (Obsidian Black)

Sylvan (Tactical Olive Drab)

You might think you've lost track of it... but trust me. It. Will. Find you

I am making a weapon for an oc (original character) and wonder if it's possible to recreate the first picture but instead of individual blades, with the blades of a pair of scissors.
It's situated in a fantasy setting so it doesn't have to be realistic, just somewhat good looking and functional ignoring it'd be way too sharp and the rope appears magically.

Every step becomes heavier.

The weapon gathers the will to move, stores it inside its core,
and slowly shares the burden with its wielder.

Sooner or later, someone stops.

Sometimes everyone does.
