New Weapon Sketch(es)

[Tetsubo]

Greetings,

Could you draw a weapon called a "spring-bolt rifle"? Its a concept weapon I dreamed up.
Background: Tinker gnomes have developed very strong metal springs for some project and humans have used the springs to propel a projectile.

I can think about it. Are you interested in a certain look?

I think there have been spring powered projectile weapons in the past though. I know there is a knife that fires its blade and I think springs have been used in spear guns as well...

I was thinking of a rifle-look, not to modern. Maybe a really long barrel, like a musket.

Inspired by a decorative element on my friend Scott's living room mirror. I think it came out with an anime look.

The design idea behind this axe is a military "government issued" tool/weapon. The sort of mass produced item handed out to a conscript army. Any society with access to water power, the concept of the punch press and decent metallurgy could make this item.

The blade is a sharpened disk held in place by three bolts. Two of the bolts can be removed to allow the blade to be rotated to expose a sharp edge. The bolts can all be removed to allow the blade to be completely sharpened or replaced.

The housing that holds the blade to the shaft is made of two identical formed plates that are riveted in place. They could be punch pressed out of steel or cast out of bronze.

The wooden shaft would be machined on a lathe like a rifle stock. This technology was available in the 18th Century. Most of the shaft is oval in cross-section, except for the section within the housing which is rectangular.

This sketch was a bear to lay-out but I'm really happy with the results.

I see you're still putting out cool stuff. I'm going to ask my DM to let my monk get some sword-chucks, just for the reaction of course. Did you ever consider that "Gatling Crossbow" suggestion from a while back?

I'm still working on the spring-bolt idea. I think I finally have a concept that will work...

I had a request for a bolt launcher that was powered by a large spring. I tried for a steampunk look. The goat's foot can be used as a rest or a brace when crank the spring.
