Hammer Time


here's a close quarters weapon concept for the Devil Helix Viper. the blade is retractable into the handle, and the front of the weapon and the base of the handle have hardened striking surfaces. ammunition consists of double-stacked, electrically fired, caseless slugs. the attachment at the base of the handle is an articulated arm that connects to the wrist of the viper, steadying recoil, enhancing aim, and allowing the gun to swing out of the way if needed.

  1. Cool! Really like the retractable blade and striking surfaces! Can gun4aface get any more deadly? ;)

  2. Hey, I really like your work and your take on robots/ guns. ( your Assault Chassis got me hooked). I'm curious as to why you chose to have the magazine wrap from behind the pistol grip, to the other side. Won't that make it awkward while reloading? Would a better design be to position the mag on the inside of the gun, for easy reloading? Just a thought.

  3. thanks guys and girls!
    eliott - the upper rear part of the mag is on the opposite side to the base of the thumb, to allow clearance, and the lower part flips over to the other side to give space for the long fingers of the viper as they wrap around the handle. the curve also makes for a longer mag in the same space. the gun is tilted out with the wrist to reload, with the mag pivoting at the upper part to unclip. of course other variations would work just as well, i mainly chose this one as it looked more interesting/different. cheers!

  6. Hey Aaron I think I follow your description. Not that you owe it to me, but I would love to see the Viper holding this bad boy in action or something. ( That whole 'picture vs. a thousand words' phrase ;P). If it works how I think it does, this may very well be one Badass idea. Good stuff.

  8. I would love to see an epic martial futuristic whole world setting made by you. Like Alita combat angel (GUNM, or Last Order).

  10. Aaron these last several post are the kind of post that make other artists want to give up and become bankers.

    Those other artists are me.

    Amazing shit, man. Seriously incredible.

    Hey, an idea that could be cool; I've seen photo books by war photographers that are primarily just images with small blurbs about the conflict they were taken in. It might be cool to do the same kind of book, but about a conflict in some world you created showcasing your designs. Kind of like Ashley Wood's WWR. Anyway just a thought.

    Amazing work!
