Big Fictional Gun Illustrations (Now 45 Illos!)

What does "helical" mean in the context of a firearm magazine? The way the cartridges are arranged? The action of the feed?
I believe that the bullets would be arranged in a spiral around the inside of the tube above the barrel and that the bullets would feed down into the action from above.

Yeah. That's basically it. A cut-away can be seen here.
 

Well, it seems the whole "helical feed" situation has been covered in my absence...

So here are some rifles.

I like the Mk 1 Longbow... but I should probably shorten the magazine in the Mk 2, as it makes the gun significantly taller in profile than the Mk 1.

These two are SMGs based on the Longbow design.

They are both chambered in the 10mm handgun round, but this can be confusing since the base rifle design is chambered in the European 10mm special operations round.

The "shortbow" is not an actual C&S design, but is an aftermarket modification to the Longbow-10 design, further shortening the subgun.

I'm really looking forward to this book... I intend to buy pretty much everything for the d20 Future game, and I'm wanting more in the way of futuristic ballistics!
 

Thanks for the kind words!

I too, am looking forward to the release of this book. :)

Here are two more that I particularly like. The SD model especially so. The integral silencer gives the wielder something to hold onto. The TX model is so back-heavy, that the user has to place his second hand above the grip assembly, underneath the sight assembly / carrying rail, to facilitate autofire.

Aristotle - at first I tried using Adobe Illustrator, but I still can't wrap my head around that program. So instead I went to my old backup vector graphic program - Corel Draw 9.

I haven't used any sort of image design software in quite some time, but I recently acquired a bundle that had Photoshop and Illustrator in it... so I thought I'd give your method a quick go (and 7 hours later...)

I used a stock photo from a website. I don't know *anything* about guns, and I'm not nearly confident enough yet to try and design my own guns from scratch.

I'm still not sure exactly how to manage DPI and image size to get a decent image for print, web, or otherwise. I did the best I could for now... :)

VERY nice job. Looks like an honest-to-goodness MP5K - a lot more detail than I usually put into my pieces too (but then again, I'm currently down to about 90 minutes per piece).
 

The TX model look cool. Which is quite good coming from me, as I don't like the look of most guns. But it is very cool.

I have some idea (not requests, I don't need any pictures) what about having the magazine loaded towards the barrel, between the barell and the trigger (if you see what I mean) Or a 1X5X5 magazine (The same kind of shape as the slabs of choclate) that loads the bullets directly into the barrel directly with the width of the bullet of the magazine slid into the gun.

Just some random ideas.

Ohhh have you see this site?
