This was Concept/Commission #12

Concept was for a Massive double barreled Pistol firing what is in essence a Miniaturized WH40K bolt like projectile (may upload that detail & cut away image later).

Though I'm quite proud of some parts of this image, some of it still irks me and I'll probably be nitpicking on parts into infinity. Projectile is 21x60mm Gyrojet round with a cartridge based Kicker/Ignitor/Unseating charge.

That thing would have one hell of a kickback. Fantastic work, mate, I love the design.

Don't make a girl a promise.. if you know you can't keep it..

It'd just about break your arm to fire that thing unassisted (or at least it'd feel like that), but man-o-man would that leave a mark on the target, and by "mark" I mean "gigantic hole".

Great work as always, sir. I can't wait to see what you come up with next. :)

Surprisingly little recoil ( well compared to what it could be, considering the size) due it the fact the majority of the rounds acceleration happens after it leaves the barrel by means of venting propellant gas via three canted vents at the end of the barrel (ala Gyrojet). This means the weapon is actually more dangerous (more velocity, more joules) Over fifty meters than it is over ten.

The actual 'charge' of gunpowder in the case is only like 36 grains worth (IIRC) this is enough to force it down the barrel and out the muzzle at about the same velocity as a .45 ACP round... now I'm not saying this wont hurt, but it was also designed for a plus sized individual with suitably strong wrists and training. (For size reference the rim of each cartridge is 25mm.)

Thank you for the Compliment... reminds me I should post the Projectile cut away as well.
