Description
This is my modern/near-future take on the Chinese repeating crossbow (traditional Chinese: 諸葛弩; pinyin: zhūgě nǔ; Wade–Giles: chu-ke nu; literally "zhuge crossbow").Made for my college final assignment, a concept art series.
4 hours non-stop on Photoshop CS5.
Edits:
1. enlarged the thumbhole in the stock.
2. painted the weapon a blaze orange.
3. introduced a translucent box magazine.
4. introduced a chrome bolt assembly.
Comments and faves are welcome!

Totally Awesome!!!...can you offer a version of image with the "bow limb" and "magazine" fully attached to the weaponry?

I hope to find some time to build this in a 3D software,
then I'll post an update with multiple views and configurations.
PS: sorry for taking soooo long to get back

This is real nice, but its a shame because I can see the compression around the text.

cool. now we need another angle so we know what we are looking at.

I'll definitely draw the weapon from a different angle,
maybe an action pose

In the hands of a normal person,
it would function as a roller-delayed blowback weapon would.
Put it into a Skhado Feroxa operative (I'll get to that later)
with a powered exoskeleton, and it will enable the secondary
firing mode, as the exoskeleton will supply the weapon with
the energy required to hyperaccelerate the projectiles,
increasing energy, range and accuracy of the weapon.
I originally intended to draw this weapon in an isometric view,
as the weapon is supposed to look like a crossbow in secondary firing
mode, but I never got around doing that >.<

Id love to see more of this, especially from different angles.
A though; maybe put rounds in the mags so as to demonstrate the translucent qualities of it.

I recommend reducing the size of the part covering where the thumb goes, it may block entry at a time when it needs to be used, but all in all, this is a good concept design.
