A few requests for weapons.

[Spleenslitta]

The amish have the right idea when they say "modern" crap is useless....
Modern things have no elegance or flair. Totally useless when it comes to making a show for the ladies.

When you want to hunt a dastardly filthy creature and do it in with a certain amount of...finesse...this is what you need.

A Breachloading wheellock. Bone and mother of pearl inlays. Because it's a breachloader with cartridges it can have a very good firerate.

If you would rather make a pistol this one would suit the occasion.

If something more....powerfull and but much less impressive in elegance and cheaper price is required then a Nock Volley gun could be suitable. Comes in 7 and 9 barrel models.
Sadly i could not find a better video for this one.

For those incompetent hunters that need multiple shots to kill their prey this one should be good enough.

Here is one powerfull rifled musket that would kill just about anything you put in front of it.

Those are lovely mate, love the volley guns!

You might be pleased to hear we plan to use antiques exclusively for the powerful cursed artifacts in Hellhunter, which one might say are the equivalent of enchanted weapons in RPGs.

An artifact has to have some serious (dark) history behind it, no different than a certain Colt ...

[Spleenslitta]

Glad to hear it. I'll try to look for weapons that have particularly violent history behind them.
In the 4th video i got something truly powerfull and yet surprisingly compact and yet not.
3rd video has something that makes 50 caliber rifles look...boring.

Is black powder weapons with a grudge against it's owners that loaded it improperly or just didn't take good enough care of it till it blew up in their face dark enough?

1st video. Blunderbuss. Ancient shotgun.

2nd. For those that want a rapid firerate pistol and still look good for the ladies while hunting foul monsters.

3rd. 4-Bore Stopping rifle. At 16:17 in this video you will see a comparison between common modern ammo and a 4 bore shell.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDYtxxRU_cY&t=1064s

There are bigger guns than the 4 bore. 2 bore is bigger but...4 bore ammo is hard enough to get ahold of.

4th. Here is one of my favorites. The most powerfull revolver in the world.
Dirty Harry's 44 magnum belongs on the shelfs of toy stores when you compare it to this mighty beast.
500 S&W is merely a massproduced piece of junk in comparison.
I'm honored to present you the Pfeifer Zeliska 600 nitro express revolver. A handmade miracle.
http://www.guns.com/2012/02/17/the-pfeifer-zeliska-the-revolver-in-600-nitro-express/
Why is he wearing a helmet in the video? Because some people who hold 600 nitro guns incorrectly when firing get serious headinjuries because of the recoil.
The gun costs 17316 dollars and each cartridge costs 40 dollars.

The Giant 1859 28mm remington revolver is bigger but that one is....well...take a look at this.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=16SIvVKtuks
....nobody evers dares trespass on that mans lawn.

[Spleenslitta]

Here are some black powder weapons capable of rapidfire.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9Km5KaeO7I

Not the oldest revolver as described in the video but of a respectable age nevertheless.

Although i hope to see some of these ancient works of art in action in the game i find myself far more fascinated by the various monsters that want to eat my character.

Nice one Seb. On the surface that looks unpractical and weird just as i like it but with a bit of imagination it can become the ultimate weapons against lycanthropes such as werewolves by making it shoot molten silver.

But the problem is that the silver has a much higher meltingpoint (Ca 961 Celsius or 1763 Fahrenheit).
In any case it's very weird.....i love weird stuff.

I once read a novel where they used blowguns filled with silver dust against werewolfs. The wolves would breath in the dust and burn their lungs from within. Weird enough? Or how about the garlic gun from Dresden Files? From book 6 irc.

Here is another archaic gun. This one was not actually used as a weapon most of the time.
Instead it was used to launch fireworks when people of note such as nobles wanted to make a flashy entrance.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6YIIUtUKm3g&t=306s

But it was sometimes used to fire grenades. So if you want to kill everything around the corner and you're to clumsy to throw the grenade at a wall to bounce it towards the target you use this.
You use it and hope that i doesn't explode in your hands.
But this weapon is a disaster waiting to happen.

[Ballistic]

Damn that one is awesome, got a steampunk feel to it!

We've got a soft spot for WW2 era guns, any contenders? :D

[Murderface]

Luger. MP-44 and my favourite pistol of all time. the 1911.

[Ballistic]

Found this rare Luger variant, looks like it'll fit in nicely

[Spleenslitta]

A flashlight on such an old pistol? Perfect for running around in a panic while being chased by ravenous monsters.

Might i suggest one of the many C96 Mausers? As you know it was used in both WW1 and 2 and it's such a unique gun.
Mauser M712 Schnellfeuer.

If you want details on the many C96 versions i suggest you look at Forgotten Weapons on Youtube.

He's got looooads of videos showcasing old or downright ancient guns like that ornate breachload wheellock that was in my first post.

[Spleenslitta]

I found this video about some really quaint old revolvers. They have 9x 44caliber ballrounds but also packs a 20 guage shotgun shell.
All that firepower in a large revolver. The video becomes really interresting about 1 minute in.
Then at 4:08 your eyes pop out of your head as the enormous steampunky LeMat revolver comes before the camera.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjdi48QakyE

More of LeMat's excellent taste in gun design madness.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQ-uIMrzu-4
A more...moderatly sized LeMat revolver.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJhC3H0srQY

Are you guys drooling all over your keyboards by now? XD

[Spleenslitta]

For those that want guns with a bit more ammo capacity but still want to do things with style you got this 20 shot pinfire revolver.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=StSyVLW3RB8

But to be quite frank i much prefer ancient flintlock revolver in post #3.
Next is a high capacity Walch Navy revolver with 12 shots but to be quite frank this revolver has a very low powder charge.
Even if you fire 2 chambers at practicly the same time it will still lack killing power.
Ian talks about a soldier who could not kill a farmers pig at point blank range with this thing.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Ew9xCtb0aU

Here is one i'm certain you dev's might like somewhat. I'll list some of the strenghts/weaknesses of the gun so you won't have to watch the entire video.
It had one specific goal when it was designed....To be powerfull enough to kill a horse in a single shot.
It was actually the most powerfull revolver till the 357 magnum was introduced in the 1950's because of it's massive powderload.
It had a few flaws including the tendency to explode due to users loading the bullet backwards or the poor quality metal of the time.

That p08 luger is amazing and the LeMat is a classic.

[Ballistic]

That LeMat looks amazing
