The top rifle uses a rod-based electromagnetic rail system to fire airfoils (basically sharp metal rings). The magazine is composed of three rods of 12 airfoils each (organized in a triangular fashion) inserted into the top of the weapon. The two not in the loading position are visible through the top of the weapon, allowing the user to keep relative track of their remaining rounds. There is also a battery pack that must be replaced every three magazines.


The bottom is a High Ammo Capacity Assault Rifle or HACAR-214 (Frontline grunts on all sides know it as the "Hacker"). Not the most accurate weapon, or the lightest, it fits a niche between assault rifle and support weapon. Not my most practical weapon, but it works well for any variation of bug-killin' space marine.

Reload by pulling back a lever (opposite side) that allows the bottom handgaurd to rotate downward to a 45 degree angle, causing the magazine to slide off and allowing a new one to be inserted.



As always, all designs (C) Taylor Williams

Mind if I base a few sketches off of these? I'm a concept artist for a game and need to turn in some designs.

The top rifle probably has its rails replaced a lot. Personally, I prefer coilguns over railguns, because portable coilguns do exist and the delivery mechanism doesn't fry on the first use.

Thank you so much. I mean it. After sifting an hour through moronic wannabe coilguns and gauss rifles and 707411'/ |-|4><0125 railguns, I've found one person- ONE ARTIST- who actually put logical thought in the creation of a magnetic firearm. Thank you.

Before I go to sleep, you might want to consider reducing the ammo capacity of the magazine to include the batteries in the magazine itself, so that the operator doesn't have to keep track of power level as well as spent rounds. Also consider that the magazine should be level with the barrel, for obvious reasons. As far as the second item is concerned, I'll leave that to you as it seems someone else already noticed most of the issues. :3

Thanks again, and goodnight.

Thanks, I strive for excellence in my designs (most of them at least). It's nice to know someone thinks I stand out. :D

It would probably be more practical for the battery to be in the magazine, but I wanted to have the weapon stand out more from the conventional weapon and make it more exotic. Furthermore, it gave me mor room to maneuver when considering balancing issues against conventional arms.

Actually, the magazine could [theoretically] rest -above- the barrel, so as to better insulate the magazine and 'unchambered' rounds from the rail mechanism by placing distance between the unfired airfoils and the gauss mechanisms (You wouldn't want to pull the magazine apart or send airfoils blasting out at random angles). On the other hand, I'm not entirely sure whether a magazine-fed gaussian weapon could exist without that problem...

Anyway, thank you so much for the in-depth comment; I [almost] always enjoy answering those. :D
