Description
If you enjoy my work by all means please feel free to drop by our Patreon and lend some support. There's a great deal of full resolution work posted there that has never been posted before along with a lot of content for one dollar tier tip jar style contributions: PatreonThis eve we have another TKP weapon, this time a lever action carbine.
The Gavil Model 3861N: 3861 being the year and N designating the Nasik calender because there are several in use in SOL with the Nasik calender being one of the most popular (the true date is unknown).
The 3861N is a close quarters combat lever action carbine. The weapon still retains reasonable accuracy due to the use of HVS (High Velocity Shetts) ammo, which are like a SABOT style round. The cylinder below the barrel is a high output lighter (anti-sendai electro arc) adding further close quarters capability. It's a rather popular weapon with C.T.E.O.s and I.P.I.O. bounty hunters and detectives due to it's compact nature and ease of carry. The weapon packs a punch in close quarters so it's also popular with sendai gangs.
The weapon featured here has a blue finish with several color case hardened fittings (the parts that look similar to brass. They aren't, but rather, the color case hardening process which creates a rainbow to marbling effect). The stock (which was actually a cool collab contribution by he doodled a variation of the original blunderbuss-ish stock and foregrip I did and I liked it far more so it went in) is a simulated Catalin once again. The top rail can be for mounting scopes or sendai optic interface devices (sendai line of sight optic eye) The weapon has a small capacity 8 round clip but higher capacity clips can be obtained of course. The clips come with a capacity counter so ammo count can always be checked.

This one was fun to do as it clearly has a very "space cowboy" vibe and just badass bounty hunter heater going on. Naturally it was inspired by old 1800s lever action repeaters and just ended up very TKP once I did my thing. There's more stuff to come.
Stay tuned...
Digitaly inked pencils with colors in Photoshop CS3 Catalin and Cold Case hardening textures were hand painted by me.

Fair and reasonable observations.
The weapon is favored by the bio-mechanical characters in our project called Sendai but it's also used by humans as well. The weapon also is definitely not too heavy to handle as to it's use in the fictional setting it exists in due to some of the more advanced material used to make them (it's in a really far future setting with retro aesthetics). It uses SABOT rounds, which are actually flechette rounds. Tanks use these rounds and there are some small arms, shotguns in particular that use them. They are highly accurate penetration rounds for piercing armor, mainly sendai armor in the project. I always approach this stuff with one foot firmly in the creative freedom fiction affords so this would ultimately be one of the primary firing styles used with this weapon (as pictured sans a should stock):

Now, although this is indeed a show, and fiction as well, there are also examples of trick shooters that are accurate shooting lever action "from the hip":

Yes, the lever is modified (in the shooter's demonstration above. larger cocking ring) in order to do this with speed but it shows that a human can do this. My fictional design can have added aim-assist targeting devises that humans can use and sendai often have advanced capabilities on their own to begin with. So, it's a design firmly rooted in the fiction of it all but there's thought and reason into how it works within the project's universe.
Thanks for the comments man!

Apologies for the seriously delayed replay (I was care giver for my late Father for some 9 years).
No problem on modeling this (if you did) and thanks for informing me, just make sure it's credited to me and all good.
Thanks for dropping by back in the 2013s!

Dude, I have not seen anyone properly do a sci-fi version of the old lever action rifle, TILL NOW. You made into Several of my favorites folders, I am in love. You win a watch from me specifically from this, and I may try to build a prop of this in the future for a film of mine.

Thank you for the kind words man, I appreciate it.
We're always honored when people make fan arts, 3D models, or fan kit bash builds of our works but using this in a film as a prop we'd prefer not to see. The weapon was designed for the Theos KE Polemos project and that is what it was intended for. It is our copyrighted design and part of is NOT free for use in other creative or commercial ventures. Brand confusion, even with short films or fan films is not something you want to see happening with your I.P., so no it may not be used as a prop in any film or project other than Theos KE Polemos.
Apologies if this comes off harsh but I hope you can understand. Thanks!

Big thanks Kai, cool you're diggin' on it's retro fancy pants action badassery... or something. I really got a kick outta working on this one but had the idea for lever action shettiers for some time. I just finally got round to doing one up and couldn't be happier with the vibe it evolved into. There will likely be more
Thanks for dropping by man, all that stuff you posted for the Planetside game, was badass as well (love that ergo-slab tacti-cool SMG, ace)!
Cheers!

Haha! Yeah.. what is a shettier btw? Google does not come up with anything. You mean like a shotgun?
Thanks re: Planetside

Shettiers are pretty much a Theos specific concoction. They are flechette based weaponry and in the setting the entomology of shettier is derived from flechette. So this weapon isn't really a shotgun it fires H.V.S. (high velocity shetts) that are typically SABOT in nature. Being one of the most dangerous potential criminal elements are sendai,with many being armored, something like an anti-tank SABOT style round grew more common to penetrate the armor rather than what we typically use with slugs now. Shotgun style rounds can be used though with various types of pellets or darts (SABOT shotgun rounds exist now actually). Most shett rounds are either a shell with an ignition gel encasing the SABOT or a hardened polymer gel for the shall itself. The weapons use a form of puncture needle (the firing pin) that sends an electric current into the gel to ignite it. A bit of fantastic but it seems conceivable enough for something this crazy far in the future. There's also a lot of mysterious tech lurking in TKP too but won't get into that now
Welcome on the Planetside works! Ergoslab of awesome indeed XD Yeah coming up with this crazy shit can be a blast
Best!

sweet! I loved shotguns ever since I played Doom as a kid. Of the pump action variety, especially. Then I saw Terminator 2. And I fell in love with lever-actions... 
Like you, I like mixing up the fantastic with the 'conceivable enough'. Haha 
I feel that the "ignition gel encasing the bullet" type would be another type of munition - Caseless, which is technically not a sabot. (But which i find damn cool nontheless).

Yeah lever action and shotguns can yield some pretty trippy fictional weapons when you're starting there as a basis. I so totally understand how you would find that a great inspiration for design. My interest in doing some lever actions comes from my love of the Sergio Leone spaghetti westerns. The man with no name, ultimate western badass (though Charles Bronson and baddie Henry Fonda in 'Once Upon a Time in the West' were utter badasses too). There's just something classic about the lone gunslinger with a lever action, very iconic.
I didn't explain it so well in my reply but you're right on the observations, that's what I had in mind, the hardened gel case rounds are caseless as the propellant gel case just burns away once fired so, yup caseless TKP weapons do exist and the hardened polymer gel would be it. The rounds that are using non gel casings (brass or composite materials) use another form of this gel as the ignition propellant as the same electric ignition process tends to be most common.
That said you could still have this type of caseless gel round (because the hardened gel case is still technically a case before firing) as a SABOT because a sabot is simply a sleeve-like device to allow a smaller bore projectile to navigate a larger smooth bore barrel (usually smooth bore such as the M1 Abrams tank though it can be used in rifled weapons as well). It's commonly the familiar flechette dart anti tank round that the term sabot is associated with even though that's not actually what a sabot is, the sabot is only the sleeve. There are actually loads of common firearm sabot "reloader" rounds to allow you to shoot smaller bore ammo in a larger bore weapon.

There were even wooden sabot collared musket rounds in the 1800s and this is where the concept originated and the term sabot (French) actually derived from the wooden clogs (shoes) worn in Europe. The common anti-sendai, and larger anti-FOIL, HVS rounds are, indeed, similar to Armour-piercing discarding sabot so they do use a form of casing to hold the sabot sleeve and round before firing.
[link]
There are totally variations and specialized rounds and even very much non shett type rounds as well (specialized shotgun type pellets of various types for example). Makes sense there would be a variety of types of munitions but shetts would be the most common due to sendai being a dangerous reality in this setting. TKP is pretty far in the future with some weird tech lurking in the shadows so I try to have fun with it. Indeed I'm totally fine with playing a dash of loose fantastic here but this stuff is too interesting not to try to make it somewhat believable as well.
I have a feeling you already know most of this info but, if not, there you go 
Best!

YES! To all of the above
I am both sad and glad I live in a nation that makes firearm possession illegal. was just showing off his Keltec KSG to me the other day.. he married a lady whose dad owns a firing range or something in Canada...

Yeah, those Hydro Shok rounds are kinda nasty too and you're right, mull enough on this stuff and all kinds of ideas can crop up. I hear you on gun legality, it's a double edged sword. Clearly I live in a nation where there's waaay too many guns but, honestly, making them illegal at this point wouldn't fix things, you'd have to warp every gun off the plaent. Criminals don't care about laws unfortunately and they get them anyway. On the other hand if they were banned crime of passion situations might indeed drop dramatically as average citizens wouldn't go out of their way (black market) to shoot someone on impulse. In a perfect world we wouldn't need the damn things but humanity, being what it is, is stuck with them for now.
I have a healthy respect for firearms and have fired them but they are what they are. Damn fun to draw them though, just posted a new one tonight
Cheers!
