Our assignment this week was to design a futuristic weapon that utilized bullets or other kinds of projectiles, laser based weapons were not included.
From the very get go, i wanted to design a hand gun that packed a punch. I started with a mood board, collecting lots of source images to give me inspiration and a reference point to start with the studies.
After gathering images, I made a few quick sketches to try and figure out the structure of the guns in order to give myself a bit more help in figuring them out so I could begin to draw them almost second nature.
When I finally approached the starting designs, I drew out a few rough silhouettes to just try and fins some interesting shapes. I then started to add more and more detail to the shapes I liked the most and came up with a few basic concepts. By the end of this I knew the exact kind of shape I wanted my gun to be.
This was the final design that i came up with. I combined two of the shapes from my concepts that i liked the most. It is a small combat firearm that is used for concealed high pressure shots. The bullet canister is fillet from the back and the plasma energy inside the barrel causes the pressure to increase dramatically as it reacts to the ignited gunpowder. This handgun requires a lot of training as even the slightest mistake can easily cause a lost limb.
