Lets make this a /tg tradition.
An entire thread dedicated to weapons, armour and tools that you just love for whatever reason!
Real or fictional
Sci fi or fantasy
Whatever it is, post it!
Bonus points if its stuff you want to put in a campaign.

I don't want to put it in my campaign, but I do want to own it. I guess I could settle for a character using it instead, seeing as it's two thousand bucks.

Bullet-firing crossbows are something that doesn't get nearly enough attention.
Basically the 16th century tacticool silent gun.
>>52362909
>Bullet-firing crossbows are something that doesn't get nearly enough attention.
What? I thought crossbows firing bullets existed only in Monster Hunter.
>>52363008
No, they were a definitely a real thing, though they saw little use in war.
They were much more accurate than a normal bow or crossbow, but much quieter than a gun, making them popular for hunting small game. However, most were too weak to be effective on the battlefield (they fired a small bullet like a gun, but only at the muzzle-velocity of an arrow).

As for weapon desired for a campaign, I want a steel bow with shapened arms, kinda like pic.
>>52363800
The Americans were actually crazy enough to build a warship with three of those cannons in a massive fixed spinal mount like something out of a video game.

It sounds like a trick weapon from Bloodborne, but I presume yours is less outlandish and does not transform.
Wouldn't the stress of pulling the bow harm the blade?
Maybe the blades could be mounted on the bow part but not fused to it.
Simon's Bowbalde
" Church hunter Simon despised firearms, and so the Church workshop had this specially fashioned to his liking.
The large curved blade serves as a bow when transformed.
But aside from a few close friends, Simon was scoffed at for his choice of arms, for who would dare face the beasts with a measly bow? "
Speaking of trick weapons...
>>52363961
And my people used them to convert a ship into a cruiser to deal with a revolt in the navy.

That said, the weapon was a sensible technology for its time, albeit a dead-end one. The lack of muzzle flash and sound still sounds like a plus, mind you.
>>52364361
There is no setting more grimdark than it.
>>52364494
Transforming weapons aren't my thing, so no.
The practicality of such a weapon is beyond my "read-too-much" expertise. One thing is that real stel bows seem to be, how do I put it, thinner in the front-back axis than the left-right axis, like A shows, you know? So perhaps the only part that could be sharpened would be the sides of the bow arms.
It seems the steel would also have to be more flexible than steel apropriate for a sword.
Talking about practicality, the actual utility of steel bows is having something that isn't as powerful as composite bows, but performs well in cold and/or humid conditions, takes less time to create as wood bows (no wood to dry etc) and wouldn't need as much maintenance.
But just imagine, is there a bow more suitable for a dwarf? One could make them assymetric like yumi bows, so even a dwarf could have what's essentially a longbow despite his height. And humidity is a big problem underground.
>>52363868
I thought the spring gun was something Terry Pratchett made up.
>>52364989
Interesting concept.
I watched this video recently about weapons that would be usable by a Dwarf, it's pretty neat.

It pretty much goes to all fiction.

Bow lance? And I who thought the hatchet pipe was the ultimate indian-american 'gunblade'. Did it work?
I saw it too. I honestly thought it lacking. He missed so much, not even mentioning the supremacy of a classic/macedonian phalanx on a tunnel. I have enough ideas to make three videos like that pertaining dwarven weaponry and tactics.
>It got me a few ideas, maybe fusing a longer, steel bow with a halberd or poleaxe
You're almost going by way of the double-armed man, a british attempt to keep the longbow relevant in the 17th century.

I think this might be the most underrated drawing on D&D.
The mail is a close fit of her body, but that can be excused as elven craft and/or mithril. She has that common pose in which the hips are slightly to the side, but it shows that's because she's putting on her armor. No helmet, but again, putting on armor.
It is the perfect mix of practical armor and fantasy sexiness.

>Bow lance? And I who thought the hatchet pipe was the ultimate indian-american 'gunblade'. Did it work?
From what I read about it it was only ever used as a lance, and it was more of a sacred symbol than a weapon, normally only one spear bearer of the Tokala Societies would have one of these and there are no reports of anyone ever shooting arrows from one.
But it's an interesting idea for a weapon.
Here's a simple idea
A grappling hook/piton...
But it's not designed for climbing
It's for retrieving your weapon after you throw it
Sound like a thing that could be a thing?
>>52371435
Ish, but you're doing it the hard way. Cords/chains to allow weapons to be dropped/thrown and then recovered are historical, but they were permanently affixed. Why waste time trying to "hook" a thrown weapon when you can have it hooked already?
FTR, arrows with a cord are actually used in bowfishing (yes, that means exactly what you think it does) and there are records of them being used to blind-fire into areas as a form of "scouting" but these probably don't reflect anything like a suggested practice. Shooting at noises/randomly is a terrible idea even if you're not wasting ammo.
>>52369605
I thought the same thing, she is gorgeous.
Had a government agent use a shotgun like this in a late TL5 fantasy setting. With the perk I got limited access to slugs (which are normally early TL 6).
Sure, the range and accuracy was piss-poor, it could only hold two shots, and it's just a shotgun, but in TL 5/6 that's actually not so bad, you're up against revolvers with 2d-1 pi and such most of the time.
Obligatory Nazi Moon Magic
>>52373921
Should probably mention that this is GURPS, it slipped my mind somehow.
The only other time I've successfully used a shotgun was in a cyberpunk game, normally I used a modified MP7 as it's light, concealable, cool looking and packs a decent punch, but for the occasional run where I knew a gunfight would be inevitable I used a Saiga-12G modified for fully automatic fire and primarily using armor-piercing discarding sabots. For the short ranges you encountered on the street, it was almost comparable to a regular assault rifle. I always carried some rubber baton rounds (for reduced lethality takedowns) and regular shot (for easily taking down poorly armored drones and the like) as well. I really liked the tradeoff, I sacrificed some raw lethality but gained some cool utility.

Please forgive my attempt at draw faggotry, but I would like to know what you make of this Dwarven contraption.
I took inspiration from all the ideas about weapons best suited for a Dwarf and these previous posts also.
It is a steel bow and a halbert fused into one weapon.
The halberd section has a curvature on it's hilt that goes foward and sideways and fuses with the middle of the bow.
Pulling the bow does not affect the halberd since the main structures are separated, joined only at the middle section.
The bow is a short bow, it is sturdier and shorter than standard bows so it allows the Dwarf to use their higher strenght to pull it and fits their shorter arms leight.
I will probably use it with one of my characters, but I would like to know what you guys think.
Would it work? What would be the drawbacks? Is it cool enough to justify the implausbility of it?
More bullets.
>>52382844
that is so retarded that I have to make it a staple of my setting.
The bow would make using the halberd annoying at best, and impossible at worse. You couldn't use the bow for anything that isn't right in front of you, because trying to lift a ten pound bow for any significant length of time will be exhausting.
>>52383088
But don't you see? That's why he made it so long. You can rest the bottom on the ground and angle it like a mortar or some shit.
Dwarven explosive arrows or some shit, just make it a damn mortar.
And take the spikes off the bow if it's not the primary melee weapon.
>>52374106
>standard revolver
>telescope attached with baling wire as a scope
>candle mounted along underside the barrel to ignite the powder trail around the bullet to turn it into a fireball as it flies
I mean, it's impractical as shit, but it seems like a good idea... if you're missing as many brain cells as the person that would come up with the idea seemingly is.

I think they're making fun of modern guns with things like scopes on handguns and under-barrel laser sights.
This is one of my favorite weapons, sadly no one lets me make custom rules for them so I just fluffed it as a staff the one time I had a chance to play one.
But how a forked stick can make such a great tool for disabling humanoid creatures non lethally is totally my jam.
Not sure what to call them. I just call them man catchers.

>>52386107
I think D&D has rules for those in Oriental Adventures from 3.5? I'm pretty sure it's just a reach weapon that lets you make a grapple check with a +4 bonus. I think there are spiked ones that do 1d3, maybe 1d4 damage with the usual, "attack with a light weapon during a grapple," rules.
>>52382844
>>52383088
>>52363921 Here.
I would think it better if the bow could rotate at the fixing point with the halberd so that the dwarf could fire it at a different angle than the halberd shaft. Like the double-armed man pike-longbow did. But your dwarf could regard such a mechanism as "too flimsy", so he fused it all in one thing. If that's the case, we can expand on the concept. Pic related.
If you see my previously posted pics, you'll note that a steel bow's arms don't have to be curved when resting. My concept assumes such so it won't bother he halberd handling. The spikes aren't necessary.

>Dwarven explosive arrows or some shit, just make it a damn mortar.
http://greatmingmilitary.blogspot.com.br/2015/09/rocket-weaponry-of-ming-dynasty-p1.html
>In its simplest form, a rocket or Huo Jian is just an arrow with a black powder rocket motor attached to its shaft. However, simply attaching a rocket motor to an arrow does not make an effective weapon, as the arrow becomes unbalanced and wildly inaccurate. Ming Dynasty Huo Jian has specifically straightened shaft and carefully attached counterweight to offset this issue.
>While launch tube or rocket pod are preferred, a Huo Jian can be launched from anything with a fork-like structure, including tree branch
Plus, the rocket might be used as a booster which ignites after firing the arrow.
Warheads/payloads might be gunpowder/poison smoke/incendiary/colored smoke.
