Art_of_Mind projects for Dawn

added some parts to the gun
boots
Rebuilt the gun.
Very cool. Those twin blades could be useful for catching the other persons sword, and then you pull the trigger and. . . .
The bladed weapon would go with the ground officer. Idea is, you got a pistol, close range weapon - the blades make it near impossible for anyone to grab the gun away from you. Also when you run out of bullets you still got two swords to detach and use. I also made a long range version of the weapon. No swords, just lots of bullets.
This is going to be three seperate outfits, complete from head to toe, with weapons, helmets, and a special item. The three different sets are to enforce the sky, land, and water.
So far the closets one to being finished is the sky soldier.
Pants
Helmet
Gun long range, with extra ammo
Boots - still not done, reworking the ones I shown before making them flat on the bottom. My logic, magnetic boots, and a magnetic plate in the sky glider (keeping Dawn from falling off)
Sky glider is the special item
All that remains for this one is the shirt, in the works and is long sleeve.

A peek at the water suit, swim skirt moved to the side to show the full bikini.
Another I just put together for fun.

Yeah, I think New York only allows ten rounds, which really isn't that many more than a six shooter from the old West.

I'll be honest, I just don't see the practicality of a combination weapon like that. In fact, it looks downright impractical.

I frequently teach people how to shoot, and one of the cardinal rules is "muzzle discipline"; imagine a red laser beam coming out of the gun barrel, and make sure that in moving the gun from here to there you *never* pass the muzzle across anyone whom you do not intend to kill.
My first thought was that while swinging the sword (parry, thrust, swing, etc), you would "laser" everybody and his brother.
However, this is virtual, so no real concern for accidental friendly fire incidents.
So, let your imagination take wing! 
By the way, I've seen pics of real pistols with (shorter) blades, usually made in the pirate era. Being single-shot and relatively slow to reload, the blade wasn't a bad idea as a backup.
The long magazine which protrudes way out the bottom actually exists; those are usually made for what are generically called "camp carbines", which are short rifles that take pistol ammo.
But several pistols can happily accept the carbine magazines, albeit they will stick out the bottom.
I have several such magazines which fit the Israeli Jericho and Barak pistols; they hold 30 rounds of NATO 9mm.
In California and New York, the politicians are protected by standard full capacity magazines; the working folk may only have ten rounds and that only if they get permission. In Ohio, I can carry whatever capacity mag I wish. It is the long blade which would be illegal to carry in most US states, ironically.

I borrowed the idea from here, and was also thinking of what Milla Jovovich might like for her next zombie killing spree.
I want that helmet! (and the rest
There are actually two different helmets, and the third is under cunstruction. Water helmet on the left, sky helmet on the right.
Niiiice.
Thanks.
I'm thinking these are goverment officers of the future.. or maybe they need to be villians? There seems to be a lot of hero type stuff in the store, maybe I should make some villians to go against them, give them some hero work to do.

Those blades make it hard for someone to take it away from you.
How about dual-blade katar/rondash/bullpup combination?
Pick the one you like most, I'll see what I can do.

I think I know what's bothering me personally about this weapon. I prefer a "full conversion mode" weapon. In other words, while it's a sword, it shouldn't look like a gun, and while it's a gun, it shouldn't look like a sword. At least it shouldn't be so obvious. If you could press a secret button and release a lever or something that would allow the gun handle to swing into line with the barrel and lock ( and back of course when you want to use it as a gun).
