Oxybeles

Oxybeles is a weapon i designed for a character in a comic i am currently working on. It is a pneumatic bladed lance! so basically its a sword with smaller swords fitting into eachother, all connected to pistons that retract all blades. the retracted form fires quickly, with a nice amount of strength. so it can be used for long ranged punctures/ impaling. which i consider to be the more interesting function.

other than that, it gives its user long range on command (think god of war, but closer to real world physics). i would also guess that the momentum gained as well as the shift in center of gravity, would make for a powerful swing. during mid swing.

cant wait to finish the comic! and this was of course, made in autocad 2007. finished in cs5.
