Description
some sketches designing weapons for 'deadlands' video game, which never came out after all, these are supposed to be kind of OTT speampunk weapons that never existed.a gatling pistol, with a kind of thompson like cylinder and all the mechanisms are propelled by the pressure created by the shells themselves.
Also a little drawing of a derringer rifle, with individual triggers for all the barrels, in a time when reloading took time this could be a real life-saver

Cool, I was thinking at the time that you'd want to get around the long reload times of those antique rifles by simply having four barrels like a deringer , each with its own trigger, so an skillful shooter could carry on shooting at a moving target without losing sight of the target.

yah I love the idea it's practical because most antique rifles jammed, if it was to jam you could just shift the barrel over and keep popping helmets and cutting daisies
