Big Fictional Gun Illustrations (Now 45 Illos!)

Antimaterial rifles are very powerful 'sniper' rifles that were designed to take out sensitive hardware at long ranges. They are an outgrowth of the old Anti-tank rifles from WWI and are used to disable communications setups, HQs, and light armored vehicles with long-range precision fire of very high caliber ammunition.

Most modern AMRs are .50BMG rifles like the Barett (although it looks like the .308 Lapua Magnum version of the barrett may replace the old .50 BMG). Some are of higher caliber, using 14.5mm soviet rounds and even 20mm cannon rounds.

Is that the why the magazine is so long(fat)? Can you do older style guns? Flint lock style? Or is cyberpunk modern?

Yeah, that's why the magazine is so long, the rounds in question were designed for heavy machine guns or small cannons.

CyberPunk as a style is set in the early 21st Century... 20 minutes into the future. It is the setting of Max Headroom (the TV series) and Blade Runner (movie).

I haven't seen either, is it basicly modern day setting. No magic.

I must have been thinking steam punk.

Here's a handgun I put together tonight when I should be in the process of reading and editing E.N.Arsenal - Two Bladed Sword.

HellHound, keep up the good work.

I do have one small critique...a lot of your weapons feature magazines that enter the receiver at unusual angles (ie not perpendicular to the barrel). If those weapons are using anything even remotely close to current cartridge based ammunition then they will be unable to load the rounds properly.

Just something to think about.

BTW I stumbled across a site that has some photo-shopped "future" weapons that you might find interesting. Some of the images are actually pretty neat...

It's from the Shadowfist card game.

The card is titled "We Need Bigger Guns!"

Hey that looks almost as ergonomic as the OICW prototype!

Krieg - yep, it seems to be a halmark of sci-fi weapons, though, doesn't it?

The worst offenders are the H&K slimline models (and the magazine proper takes care of most of the problem, but it does lead to some feed problems), and the Ingrams that defy the normal Ingram design, and use a fairly complicated feed system with a ramped bolt assmebly to strip and load rounds into the chamber.

As for the link, yeah, I'm still active in the CyberPunk community and have seen the site a few times, the webmaster in question is archiving the guns that other people have posted since my site went on line. The BlackHammer CyberPunk Project was the first CPunk site that was using photoshopped weapons galleries, and in the next three years, nearly a dozen other sites popped up using the same techniques as me. In fact, one of the guns in there -is- one of mine.

For the book, I added some other drawings of the rest of the Ingram 99 line (which seems to be a fave)

One is a 'standard' model, with ugly foregrip... the second is a carbine edition for sale to civilians.

Oh, and I see i posted the Vektor Ultimate earlier on this page, but didn't include the export model.

A few new designs based on a binary propellant firearm concept

These designs, and a few more, can be found in my latest release on RPGnow - BlackHammer Firearms 1
