More Top Shot!

Took some pics of my knife design off the TV set last night. It looks like Knife Thrower to the Stars Jack Dagger will be the expert for this episode. It also looks like the knife episode will be next!! From what I could tell they did a phenomenal job of filming the throwing!! Wow, the slo-mo is incredible!

Here’s Jack Dagger making it look so easy!

Ouch!

Tim from Weta needs to back off that trigger finger! He’s holding The Righteous Bison – Indivisible Particle Smasher. Luckily it only singed my backpack!

Introducing The Pomson 6000

pomson

The Pomson 6000 has been described thus:

“Blasting out rapid-succession pulses of cross-spectrum electromagnetic radiation, the Pomson has been shown to dissolve an Egyptian pyramid in four archeologically educational weeks or one of the smaller, slightly crappier Mayan ones in just under a fortnight. Imagine what it could do to that big ugly Mars face! On a more practical level, however, the Pomson has proven to be a highly flexible yet powerful firearm and purchasers are sure to wake up each morning with morning wood at the mere thought of owning one. That could also be a tumorous growth caused by unshielded radiation, but you can’t sue us for that because it’s in the contract. Sod off.”

Among other uses, the Pomson 6000 is standard issue for Earth’s Elite Forces and other cutting edge units. Its compact measurements and 12 millisecond recharge cycle makes it a valued companion in close quarters. Like underground trains or Venusian cave systems.

Below is Greg Broadmore, creator of the Pomson 6000 Sub Atomic Wave Gun, dispersing of some pesky Venusian Cephalopods!

District 9 Assault Rifle

Got to play with this at SDCC! It’s very cool!

Assault Rifle

The first gun presented to Wikus van der Merwe (by the MNU scientists) at the underground shooting range at MNU headquarters, the Assault Rifle makes short work of the porcine cadaver strung up for target practice.

This is known about the science behind the Assault Rifle, according to
Designer Greg Broadmore:

“The tubes down the side each discharge an explosive burst of gas one after the other down the length of the barrel behind the projectile – a linear accelerator gun, like a rail gun but without the magnets. Of course it would fire these all rapidly to get a high rate of fire.”

PLEASE NOTE: Unless your genetic makeup is part prawn, you cannot power up or fire this gun.
