I wasn't super happy with my last attempt at this concept (Weiss Pistol), so I dug out the original post-it note with the tiny little thumbnail sketch that I liked, and did another round of silhouette roughs--keeping the same general layout but changing the details. Picked one, and came up with this. It's an energy weapon with an impossibly compact power cell that does not require a lot of heat dissipation. Cheap, simple, good for concealed carry...especially with the shiny medallion on the grip painted over with black nail polish. Coming soon to a mugging near you!
I like the look of this: The blockyness and size of the hndle suggests that this weapon would be used for assassination purposes or maybe for single use
