Guns and Gadgets

The majority of guns I found were 18th century, the 17th century had guns but they were huge and literally had to be rested on fences or barricades de to the size and kick they gave off. In the 18th century guns became much more smaller and refined, pistols became possible as well as double barrel guns. The images I took were focusing on the triggers, stoppers and barrels to see how the guns look and use these design in my owns gun designs. Despite not being developed to this extent in Guy Fawkes’s time I want him to have a gun such as these that at the time is a revolutionary gadget that is within reach of technology in the time making it more believable.

 

Below are a pair of double barrel pistols, still huge and long but I feel that could be quite an iconic and cool design having a gun that perhaps is too long wielded in one hand, much like Terminator 2 and the shotgun.

 

I like the busy and interesting firing mechanism in this picture below, I could play on the fact the weapon would be top edge technology and have it a bit more bodge jobbed with tape and rope and  cheap items holding it together.

 

This rifle is decorated all the way down its barrel and shaft, the firing mechanism also has lots of decoration on in engravings, agan I feel this could be used to make him and his weapons stand out from the crowd.

Here is the image of an early 17th century gun, this has a hook/stand to balance of fences or such items to reduce kick, the weapon is huge and impracticable.
