Brief Description
\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/

Picture here are three “Stick Guns” so named because of the source of original inspiration for them. Were branches you know like from trees. Each Stick Gun(which is not exclusively ranged weapons) is designed both functionally and lore wise. A lot of my Stick Guns are designed with world building/game making in mind, a lot of these I desire to make in depth stat sheet later.

WPN#1 (Geotic Pistol)

The weapon pictured here located on the far left of the image is a Geotic Pistol, the primary war-grade sidearm of the Geoti. They were a civilization of humans during the post-Colonization period of human settlements on the newly habitable Mars. I don’t have time to explore the world building of lore for the Geoti but suffice it to say the Geoti are the descendants of an initial 120 individuals who landed on a mission to set up a base and study the geologic history of Mar’s higher elevations. By the time there were known as the Geoti some 500 years will have passed from initial settling and as such the population of the Geoti colony have now swollen to over 1,800 individuals.
As far as Geotic Pistol is designed to be fired from two to hand positions complete with finger loops above the fire-control group A.K.A the trigger and its surrounding handle. Geotic Pistols can be fired for up close or quick draw combat with just the back grip plus the handle. Geotic Pistols are designed to fire in low pressure environments and as such is capable of dealing more substational damage to its target then most of our modern military sidearms such as the Colt M1911. Instead think the firepower of a .357 Magnum Revolver. Geotic Pistols fire a type of crude projectiles on a similar level of refinement on par with world war one bullets. Its also worth noting that to follow the similarities with western revolvers Geotic Pistols only hold a limited capacity being full up at 7 remade-ferrous rounds in reserve and one in the chamber.

WPN #02 (Twin Shot Pyro Caster)

The Twin Shot Pyro Caster which is pictured center is unique among these three stick guns mainly because the Pyro Caster is not a firearm in any way instead it is what I call an “Arcane Ranged Weapon” or an ARW. ARWs come in many sizes and configurations but the Twin Shot Pyro Caster is classified as a Heavy Arcane Weapon. The closet comparison I can give for the Pyro Caster’s firing style and how it handles to the anti tank rifles of World War One and is even as long as an anti tank rifle.
Sense the Twin Shot Pyro Caster is an arcane weapon it does not utilize bullets or gunpowder. Instead to fire a Twin Shot Pyro Caster the Staffer(which is what a wielder of an ARW is called) while prone after engaging what looks like a trigger then grabs the Cayennite wick which is located on the right side of a Twin Shot Pyro Caster, right before the opening in the middle of the weapon. Once the Cayennite wick is grabbed with the grasping hand the operator of the Twin Shot Pyro Caster says under their breath an incantation which activates the cage of fire elementals located toward the front underside of the weapon. Finally after all that set up the weapon fire a devastating to both personnel and vehicles twin projectiles that streak through the air burning and incinerating the vicinity of the two projectiles as they fire in a double helix pattern through the air. When the projectiles finally impact it is the equivalent of a DnD fire ball explosion

WPN#03 (Slxh-6)

The Slxh-6 is a type of sub machine gun designed from the left over parts from Pre-war firearm parts. Pre-war referring to the Martian War for independents which I mentioned in previous post.
If you can make out what I wrote on the paper with the Slxh-6 some 3 years ago you would see my explanation of Slxh-6 ammunition which are similar to our average 9mm rounds but are a crude copy carved from a single piece of Bronze coated recycled iron. These relatively primitive munitions are referred to as 9.09X rounds or just "9.X" . 9.09Xs are squat bullets featuring four sets of grooves mirrored on two sides, these grooves serve the purpose of propelling the projectile. You see similar to the real weapon known as the gyro jet pistol’s projectile. The 9.09X rounds have a line or string of combustible material like some experimental ammunition propellants that were used early on by militarizes of our world. These propellant strings are set in the before mentioned grooves on the ammunition.
Slxh-6 it self is unique because as you might be able to read I referred to this firearm as a SDCOW which stands for Short Distance Combat Operator Weapon. SDCOWs are generally defined by one reason that being their size which on average is similar to real SMGs that are on the larger end of SMGs. SDCOWs can identified by their different stats of performance. You see SDCOWs are specifically crafted to serve the role of a solder primary weapon but still being overall very light and mobile.

It has been a long time since I posted any of my weapon designs. I think maybe as long ago as a year or more I am not sure. I have a long tradition of turning a wooden branches or sometimes other objects into fantasy weapons. I do plan on uploading more Fantasy weapon art.
The next art dump post will be up on the 25th of April
