Sniper Pistol


An automatic pistol, upgraded with sniper rifle attachments, that is one of the numerous weapons Tal'Set can find and arm himself with in the Turok: Evolution multi-platform video game. The ingenious design of this firearm is such that all it takes is a flick of the wrist to cause the scope, stock, and elongated barrel to snap into proper alignment, almost-instantly converting the handgun into sniper mode. Bullets can be found in small boxes of 15 and Tal'Set can carry a maximum of 100 rounds of ammunition. While this sidearm is relatively lacking in power compared to other guns you can add to Tal'Set's arsenal, it's effective against weak-medium strength targets (particularly with head shots), and the sniper scope is an important tool for making long distance kills and/or just surveying the surrounding environment from a safe location.


Materials:
Newsprint, cardboard, notebook paper, white/hot glue, Kleenex, a paperclip, wire twist ties, and acrylic paint.

Dimensions:
- Pistol w/out Sniper Parts: 2.8 cm/1.1 in. x 4.8 cm/1.9 in. (highest point x widest point)

- Pistol w/Sniper Parts Inactive: 3.5 cm/1.4 in. x 5.6 cm/2.2 in. (highest point x widest point)

- Pistol w/Sniper Parts Engaged: 4.1 cm/1.6 in. x 14.2 cm/5.6 in. (highest point x widest point)

Articulation:
Five points: The barrel telescopes and rotates up/down; the stock slides in/out and the end rotates; and the scope pivots up/down.

Time:
Roughly two days; November 13-14, 2008.

It also shoots tiny bullets.

Those tiny bullets cost 0.7 cents apiece, but he reloads them himself for 0.03 cents.

Snazzy work, MmM. A departure from your usual organic stuff.

Turok: Evolution was a terrible, terrible game, but the design of that weapon, is in fact ingenious. I want one.

Coopersville: I felt Turok Evolution was fairly mediocre, especially compared to previous games in the franchise, but I wouldn't call it terrible. Some of those pterodactyl flying missions are enough to drive you batsh*t insane though. The game taking away weapons from you on some levels, and then giving them back, seemingly at a whim, was mighty annoying too.

I agree that the pistol is mighty cool--it's my favorite FPS pistol ever. I wonder if somebody at Iguana/Acclaim Studios Austin was a G1 Transformers fan, 'cuz the gun is mighty similar to Megatron's Walther P38 form with its attachments.

Creaphis/Impie: No tiny bullets, sorry. I was thinking about making a box of ammunition, but I didn't make the magazine on the gun hollow, which would kind of defeat the purpose of having the bullets if you couldn't really do anything with them.

I want two.


...I mean, I do have two eyes, and two hands, right?


[edit] And I want those eyebrows just like the guy in the last photograph, for extra awesomeness.
