Because the grenade is smoking and because firefighters used to wear brodie helmets in the UK?
I can actually see where you're coming from, it reminds me of that book too now that I look at it again.

Yeah, I realized that it didn't really look like a that, its just what it reminded my of at first glance. Idk why people do that, but I did too for some reason :smith:.Quote:

Description:
Designed by Daimler Motorwerke starting in 8059EE, the Slipstream '67 (or Slip '67) was intended from the outset to be a high-flying civilian aeroplane capable of very high top speeds, a sort of hotrod of the skies. With a relatively streamlined shape unheard of in contemporary craft and two of the powerful new Daimo.715F powerplants, the plane can reach a top speed in excess of 400 knots. When Calais dug into North Doppelstadte in the late 7900s, the Ersten military urgently required a plane for long range reconnaissance and patrol work; with no immediate designs in the pipeline and troops dying en route to the North, they pressed a modified version of the Slip '67 into service, designated the R. IH, with the less powerful Daimo.715G engines to extend range and hardpoints for weapons. Intended for extreme high altitude, the large control surfaces result in excellent roll rates, average yaw rates, and slightly below average pitch rates, making this plane ill-suited for a turning dogfight.
Daerp!
Isslédovan-Ross Model 10308 Mk.IV*
Class: Linear Induction Rifles
Type: coil accelerator
Standard Rating: .606-08kJ
Maximum Rating: 1-08kJ
Weight (unloaded): 4,1kg
Magazine: 10 or 15 round detachable box
The Weapon:
After serving for almost three centuries, the Nynczek Teknologies Gewehr Modelle 10017 was looking long in the tooth. Indeed, it was heavy, slow to charge, and extremely lengthy. Seeking to remedy these inhibitive characteristics, the Imperial Ministry of War held competitions for a new rifle to replace the NTG. Two of the Imperial firms, Ross Armouries and Lynchpin Gunworks, submitted designs for trials in 10299EE. It was found that the Lynchpin design, while unique and very accurate, was ill-suited for battlefield conditions and so the contract eventually went out to Ross Armouries. Originally built for the .88-07kJ round, the weapon was modified in 10307 for the .606-08kJ and subsequently called the Isslédovan-Ross M10308. Mk. IV is a misnomer, since there were no previous marks of the Isslédovan-Ross, where the * (pronounced "star") indicates that it can accept the new-style Mk. XIX powered bayonet.
The Isslédovan-Ross M.10308 Mk. IV* is a standard manual bolt-operated weapon with a single large locking lug to maintain simplicity. As a cartridge is loaded and closed into the chamber, a pair of electrodes on the rear of the firing pin assembly access the power source in the stock, thereby charging the capacitors down the length of the barrel. Upon firing, the firing pin pushes a bead of copper into place on the cartridge's ignition cap which completes the circuit inside the cartridge causing it to discharge its energy stores and subsequently fire the round.
The Round:
Early on it was decided that, in order to simplify logistics, the .88-07kJ cartridge would be retained. As the years went by, improvements in the LiR technology would allow for more powerful rounds to be developed. in 10307EE, the Isle of Isslédovan released the .606-08kJ round as the standard issue with up to 1-08kJ being available for varying applications. While the .606-08 is less powerful than its predecessor, it was found that not more than 3000kJ is required for a full-power rifle round to penetrate the armour of Ersten and Calais troops and that the lessened recoil improved marksmanship.
The round is essentially a small railgun within itself. Inside the tungsten carbide casing are a series of ultracapacitors toped-off at the factory. These can maintain their charge for up to ten years before losing power. Attached to the capacitors are two steel rails separated by a hard rubber insulator, reinforced by a sheath of rubber, aluminum, and then three rings of steel. Between the rails lies a veritable grain, generally composed of osmium or tungsten and with a ferrous core. At the base of the round is a pair of electrodes topped off with a brass cap with a copper insert. Upon firing, the firing pin pushes the copper insert between the electrodes, completing the circuit and causing the round to discharge the grain at hypersonic velocities; said grain is then further accelerated down the barrel of the gun via linear induction or coils to speeds approaching the relativistic. Everything inside the casing is vapourised and dragged out out of the weapon as a vacuum forms behind the grain.

Didn't finish the seal underneath the weapon's name. @_@ Also drew the two perspectives a little too close, so I had to cut the bolt slightly short.
Triple post! =O
I don't like my posts being so long, which is why I don't simply edit. Also, bump is good.
Found this lying under a pile of papers. It's charcoal, so I'm surprised it is still intact. It's also been cropped by my too-small scanner.
So I made a lineart for a plasma rifle because some furfag who thinks he's all cool and shit at drawing guns utterly raped the plasma rifle. Here's my interpretation/response:
It's a little busier than I wanted and the centre is kinda weird...but I think it gets the idea across and follows physics just a little better than Bungie's design.
I actually like his better than yours. Your design gets lost in the lack of line weights and parts just get to busy. His just has way more visual interest. Even the sight on his was an interesting touch (though pulled off poorly).
True. Not going to lie, I didn't think of using line weights, and it does look really busy especially around the front end. To be fair though, I drew it intending to shade it later, and since I can see how it would look in my head I kind of overlooked the weights :saddowns:. Will do next time though.
I don't like his interpretation, since all it does is make a couple of indents into the top and bottom of the weapon to make it appear angular. He also totally ignored Covenant physiology when he added the trigger. Mine was more focused on taking the original feel and adding some actual mechanism to it (i.e. the magnetic coils to accelerate the plasma forward).
