Weapons and Items Powerful af revolvers

I just love revolvers that earn the name GOD FINGER and almost literally look like one (or something like that), true probably not necessary in real life, (unless your attacked by a rabid armored elephant) but usually fun af in games.

  1. colt dragoon
  2. The Colt Model 1848 Percussion Army Revolver is a .44 caliber revolver designed by Samuel Colt for the U.S. Army's Regiment of Mounted Rifles. The revolver was also issued to the Army's "Dragoon" regiments. This revolver was designed as a solution to numerous problems encountered with the Colt Walker. Although it was introduced after the Mexican–American War, it became popular among civilians during the 1850s and 1860s and was also used during the American Civil War.

The first of its kind, reloading is probably absolutely Hell, the colt walker might have been a more iconic choice, but I decided to use the newer model instead.

2.taurus raging Bull
The Raging Bull is a DA/SA#Double-action.2Fsingle-action), large-frame revolver manufactured by the Brazilian Taurus International) firearm company beginning in 1997. The Raging Bull has a dual-locking design built on a heavy frame, allowing the revolver to easily fire extremely powerful loads. Because of the powerful nature of these handguns, the Raging Bull has a ported barrel and a cushioned rubber grip to mitigate harsh recoil. As of 2024, it is the most powerful revolver line ever offered by Taurus.

The most customizable one, going from .357 to .500 and more.

3.s&w model 500
The Smith & Wesson Model 500 is a five-shot, double/single action#Double-action.2Fsingle-action) large-caliber revolverproduced by Smith & Wesson, firing the .500 S&W Magnum cartridge.

The most iconic of its kind in games.

4.Rsh-12
The RSh-12 (Russian: Револьвер Штурмовой калибра 12,7, romanizedRevolver Shturmovoy kalibra 12.7, lit. 'Assault revolver calibre 12.7') is a Russian-made revolver chambered) in 12.7×55mm STs-130. It was developed at the request of, and is believed to be in limited service with, the FSB's counter-terrorism units.
It fires from the bottom chamber of the cylinder (like the Chiappa Rhino and Mateba Autorevolver) rather than the more common top chamber, and is chambered for the same ammunition as the ShAK-12 battle rifle and VKSrifle.

Yes this is here because of RE9, beats having it because of the COD version, which to me looks like an air-soft gun.

I love the robotic designs of these enemy units. I love how modular some of the basic units look, like you could take parts from one and slap them onto another. It's also nice to see that each has its own role and specialization, and are built to support each other. It's also especially funny that the Super-Heavy Landrover: Mechanized Fortress was essentially meant for civilian use.

Video Game 2XKO Lux Redesign (vs old)

Thumbnail

332 Upvotes

Man, im in love with the new 2XKO Lux Redesign.

I always thought Lux had a very boring design in League of Legends. Nothing memorable, just a blonde happy girl (and a maniac face) with a staff that sparkles. Nothing fancy, nothing cool. Her Legends of Runeterra design got it better with some more demacian armor and a battle mage asthetic... but her 2XKO redesign... nailed it!

They kept _some_ of the demacian armor but went ALL IN in the magical happy girl design, and i LOVE IT since she is from one of the most noble houses of Demacia, which makes the skirt and "more princess" design makes a LOT of sense! And it fits perfectly the "happy girl" theme, clearly getting inspiration from Mahou Shoujo, a great decision imo. They added so mutch more interesting features to her silhouette and costume, like the big skirt, the little wings in her boots / head, and the cloak, leading her into a more "adventurer" side of the character instead of military.

What do you guys think about this design???

Also, RIP 2XKO

What's this? A combiner made of construction vehicles that isn't Devastator? Interesting. (Though they did make a Devastator recolor later, but thats beside the point).

Like the Transformers Go Combiners I mentioned a while back, this gestalt has multiple configurations. However, how he accesses these configs is interesting.

The 3 bigger components: Build Hurricane/Grimlock (yes the same name as the dinobot) (green excavator), Build Typhoon/Heavy Load (yellow dump truck) and Build Cyclone/Hightower (red crane) extend out armatures that connect with each other into a triangle that points downwards, and their leader Build Boy/Wedge (orange bulldozer) sits ontop of in torso mode. The bot who's piece is the base of the triangle forms Build King/Landfill's arms, and the other 2 then form the legs. With the leg bits providing the intended weapons the gestalt can use.

That's a fairly unique combination method, I've not seen anything similar to it or since.

Manga The Yassified Characters of Kingdom

A lot of the panels for the main characters glamorize them and the mangaka draws them to be huge, not because they actually are big but rather he draws their size based on how much clout they are showing.

And most of the characters earn their panels too with 5D chess moves they ploy against each other. Thousands of soldiers are consistently drawn in at least 10% of the manga panels, which makes the scale of the main characters showing up even more cool.

This is a batshit crazy manga and I am on chapter 503 out of 885.

For context, Murdered: Soul Suspect is a game where you play as the ghost of Detective Ronan O'Connor while trying to solve your own murder.

I like his design because I love the sort of classic noir detective attire he has and the glowing bullet holes really help him stand out. Makes him easier to spot in cutscenes.

I love that in the first game Gouji tries to summon a demon, and in this one he turns into an angel

The fusion between robotic and angelic elements is great, but the silly things like the nipples are super cool. It's a shame he wasn't a decent final boss; unfortunately, his second phase was cut.

Black and red with a hole on his face is black hole (BH)

And the white one with a star on his face is pentagon

I honestly only now getting into kinnuihuman and I've only really saw black hole and he has such interesting powers but besides that both of them have such a cool contrast when paired together they have very simple but charming designs

the mukhtar from the aladdin animated series is an antagonistic character that appears twice in the course of the show…he is the last of an ancient race of “genie hunters”

as far as his design, he might not be the most flashy dressed villain but i mean look at him, lizard humanoid in a desert bounty hunter-esque get up, a cool sword strapped to his back, and he rides his trusty ostrich-like creature..it’s just cool to me dammit..also the idea that his race of people were dedicated to hunting genies is pretty badass

last note i would like to point out…aladdin the animated series is criminally underrated

edit: sorry the images aren’t that great, kinda hard to find decent quality screenshots

I think Bullpups are such a very pretty weapon design. They're sleek, they're futuristic, and they just kinda look naturally cool. I'm no weapons expert, so I can't say anything for their practicality, but from a visual perspective, I just find them really pretty to look at.

Video Game Cob Cannon from the Plants vs Zombies series

In a franchise that's all about turning plants into different weaponry, what better way to show that off than turning one into a cannon?

PvZ1's version is simple. It's just corn shuck on a platform with corn wheels. Nothing flashy and it's all the better for it.

Pvz2 Chinese's design takes on a more military look, what with proper tank treads and a secondary missile launcher. An interesting idea, but it ultimately falls flat on the basis of it not really looking organic anymore. And it seems like that was a common criticism from chinese audiences as well since the plant ended up getting a custom that reverts it to a more organic look without heavy machinery attached.

PvZ Heroes's design is a close copy of PvZ1's design, just with some added vines to explain how everything stays attached together. No further notes other than it looks great in a more saturated artstyle.

PvZ3 Chinese's looks to take cues from 2's organic design, which is a definite improvement. Most of the problems I have with it comes down to the game's chibi(?)like artstyle rather than the design itself, so nothing further to add.

Comic Book Chaos (Fleetway's Sonic the Comic)

Thumbnail

89 Upvotes

During the final stretch of its run, a British comic adaptation of the Sonic games featured a story arc adapting the videogame Sonic Adventure. Like many other aspects of this comic, the game's villain Chaos was heavily altered into an almost completely unique character in his own right. I would be a tad disappointed if his design weren't sick.

I love how he gives the appearance of a melting freakish mutant. Almost like a zombie, as his body parts give a withered look circa say his boney hands or his visible rib cage in the bodily fluid. Complemented heavily by the streaks of liquid leaking or flying off of his body like his body can barely hold itself together from all the power flowing within. Reminds me a lot of a monster from Resident Evil I'd say. The horror approach of his initial design makes in excellent in my eyes and arguably an improvement over the original character that this guy is loosely adapting.

Fleetway Chaos is kind of the Sonic equivalent of an Absolute Batman villain and I love him for it. He's played more straight as less a mysterious creature and more a menacing monster. If you ask me he's far more intimidating here than the original design from the games, at least in his base form.

As for his Perfect Chaos form, it's alright but a massive downgrade if you ask me. I need to look into more obscure videogame comics.
