Together for scale.

Conventional in design but exploring a more elaborate muzzle brake design that could telegraph either a slow ROF or a reload underway.

Inquiring if something can feel like a gun if it has no real barrel. Liked the idea of an energy weapon that used a physical projectile to create an initial plasma beam.

Somewhat conventional but exploring the use of construction yellow to communicate 'open me' to the player.

Again playing with the idea of mixing elements of both ballistic and energy weapons.

Initial sketch. Some things have changed in the final version.
