Hey guys, I love the RWBY universe and love RWBY roleplays! For a long time I've wanted to come up with an original idea for a weapon for my OC. However, two problems.

One- I'm terrible at art, and even though I know exactly what I'm after, brain to pencil is not something I can do without it looking like an incomprehensible scribble xD

Two- I have no idea about the 3D modelling software I've seen on google images that people use. So that's out of the window too.

The idea for the weapon is that it's a large anti-tank rifle, so it fire's heavy, high piercing rounds. It's sort of belt fed I guess, and it operates through a sort of crank system? The crank itself is a chainsaw grip. At the end of the barrel is a large circular saw for melee situations.

That's the brief idea, and I can see it in my head but I have no idea whether or not that would accurately describe it?

Any ideas to pan the description out or different wording I can use?

Just gonna bump this up in case anyone can help. I really want to get this onto a character but don't want to make the full CS suffer

@GingerBoi123 Seems to me like you'd want a stupidly-oversized version of the Lancer from Gears of War- a big gun with, effectively, a chainsaw "bayonet."



Something like this, would you say? Except scaled-up to anti-tank rifle size.

@EnterTheHeroYeah. Thinking about it, it's pretty similar to a lancer, huh? xD

It was more of a buzz saw thing I had going on at the end of the gun, and it wouldn't be full auto, lol

Hmm... I can see this. Like, the 'bolt' for cycling rounds also spins up the buzzsaw? Yeah, no I get exactly what you mean.

Unfortunately, I am terrible at art too. Fuck.

@GingerBoi123 Well, of COURSE an anti-tank rifle wouldn't be full auto. Can you even imagine?

@Lady SeluneLol! Thanks anyway!

@EnterTheHero Yeah, I know right.

But yeah, something like this for the grip



and it pulls back for the next round. I even tried drawing it once. That was... we don't talk about that.

There's a variant of the Mossberg 500 with a grip like the one you're thinking of.

The first gatling guns were crank based, here's what they looked like.

Is this godawful sketch anything close?

@deadpixel101Shoot, sorry! Didn't see it and the link won't work

Drat :/ I'll have to try again.

I'll be busy the next few days but I guess expect a crappy drawing within the next week? Idk lmao

I think I have an idea as to what it looks like but we'll see.

@deadpixel101Well, thank you very much. I appreciate it, really!
