Title: What's this gun?
Post by: Ferran on February 21, 2010, 04:35:32 PM
I've always imagined it as some sort of las weapon but I'm not sure and I can't find the Daemonhuntress character sheet atm.

Guns like that seem to defy classification as (IMO) they're compacted versions of other guns.  Is that a clip on the gun?  I can't tell from this angle.  I'd say just make it something that fits with the character it's accompanying, the gun could easily pass for most basic profile las or bullet-firing weapon that has been compacted to fit on a flying skull.

Nah there's no real magazine to speak of.

It's treated as an autopistol - in whichever Exterminatus issue it was.

Indeed it is.  But you could call it almost anything, from a revolver to a lasgun.  Just don't mistake it for an assault cannon!

R.

Design wise it's some kind of autopistol, but being attached to a skull I'd assume it to be a laser weapon of some kind - solid shot surely raises logistical issues.  I would probably call it a laspistol with full auto (4) or something.

Hmm yes the character is Hereticus with radical leanings (mainly in the use of alien companions) so a Jokero weapon isn't out of the question. Not sure a skull mounted Multilaser is very civil though :)

laspistol with full auto (4) sounds about right.
