Gun models you'd like to see
Thu, 09/17/2009 - 14:09
How varied are the weapon models found in the game? With "87 bajillion" guns, I can't help but wonder if we're going to see guns that look like:
1. Thompson Submachine Gun - the iconic weapon of the Prohibition and mobster era and World War II. Specifically, I'm thinking of the version with the drum barrel, under-the-barrel handle, and long stock.
2. M3 Grease Gun - the compact replacement of the Tommy Gun, its got a funny look but a respectable history of use.
3. Dual-barrelled submachine guns, rifles or machine guns - in the style of weapons mounted on WWI biplanes, basically two long-barrelled rapid firing weapons mounted side-by-side. The Villar-Perosa is historically the 1st submachine gun made, and was adapted for use by ground forces in WWI.
4. Mateba Autorevolver - made popular by the Ghost in the Shell anime as the signature weapon of Togusa. 2 things make it different from its peers: a) its barrel is aligned with the lower cylinder of its chamber, and b) it uses the recoil of its shots to rotate its chamber (hence autorevolver).
Anyone else got weapon designs they're hoping to see in the game?

hmmm...my mistake =p. I
hmmm...my mistake =p. I could be thinking of the one of the German rifles as well, either way, I'd love to see a classic, WWII era bolt action rifle. (Even if it wouldn't be all that good compared to some of the other toys).

Assult rifle
An Assult rifle with two seperated (M16 like) mags, but with only one barrel.
= long time reload, but also plenty of ammo to spray around with

@ Hepler: Your post reminded
@ Hepler: Your post reminded me of Warhammer 40,000's various bolt guns (bolts are mini rockets). I just realized Borderlands' weapon AI won't just be making millions of unique guns- it can possibly replicate lots of iconic guns from sci-fi and fantasy. Awesome. :-)

An SMG with some serious scope action with tiny guided rockets.... with fire effects!
I HAVE FURY!
I wouldn't mind seeing something akin to the famous M1 Garand WWII bolt action rifle.
