My stick and wooden pistol have come through many battles, killed hundreds of men (didn't know that about me, did ya), faced the worst possible situations and come out on top. Remember Calvin and Hobbes? Yep, that's me and my gun.
Then came the idea to actually design my own weapons. Not necessarily draw their inner working mechanisms, just their aesthetic qualities.
Having spent years studying the evolution of firearms, I was able to easily come up with a few concepts, such as the ones presented above. I think that both of them are influenced heavily by European designs of the early 1800s; the lower one has a few Muslim themes. The upper one has a very bulky, somewhat distracting pommel, although it could double as a club. The firing mechanisms themselves are horridly inaccurate, as I learned to my utter dismay. But that doesn't matter, really. They look cool anyways.

They are really cool. I did think there was somthing funny about the hammer and the flash pan. But I thought it was just me. I would like to see some of your sward drawings if you have any!. These are great!
Ha, I like the pistols Johnny. They have a very 'old world' feel.
a. The actions are relatively good. They are. Don't beat yourself up about them. (the hammer's hand is a little small, and they feel a bit off, but they're much better than many).
b. Make the handle of the first smaller, and I'm really digging its butt. Yes, this is a correct and usable gun term for its rear end.
C. Hos do you draw so well? When I do, there are lots of extra little lines sticking out... You use a special type of paper, right?
