Alrighty, this is my first forum post, and I'm not expecting only positive reviews, though that's what I'm hoping for.

I had an idea for another Antigua-styled gun, the Vorpal Six Shooter. Details:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Name: Vorpal Six-Shooter
Star rating: 2*.
Type of weapon: Handgun.
Damage: Piercing.
Attack: A six-bullet clip, just like an Antigua, but slightly weaker.
Charge attack: The same as the Antigua, but also weaker.
Bonuses: None.
Description: A powerful pistol that can fire tulgey teeth at those who would oppose its wielder.
Appearance: Basically the same as an Antigua, but with the same colors as the Snarble Barb, Spine Cone, and Bristling Buckler.
Scource: Bought from Brinks for 10 Frumious Fangs.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Then it upgrades! This is where the fun begins.

Name: Twisted Six-Shooter
Star rating: 3*.
Type of weapon: Handgun.
Damage: Piercing.
Attack: A six-bullet clip, just like an Antigua, but with glowing lime-green bullets.
Charge attack: The same as the Antigua, but with the green bullets.
Bonuses: None.
Description: A gnarled Vorpal Six-Shooter enhanced to fire with a satisfying "crack". (Maybe not "crack," but something like that.)
Appearance: Basically the same as an Antigua, but with the same colors as the Twisted Snarble Barb, Twisted Spine Cone, and Twisted Targe.
Scource: An upgraded VSS.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

An upgrade to 4* and it becomes the...

Name: Dark Thorn Revolver
Star rating: 4*.
Type of weapon: Handgun.
Damage: Piercing.
Attack: A six-bullet clip, just like an Antigua, the bullets are red now. Damage is the same as a Blackhawk/Silversix.
Charge attack: The same as the Antigua, more red bullets.
Bonuses: Damage Bonus vs. Beast: Low.
Description: An explosive powder-powered handgun whose strength has been increased by an offering of souls to the beast within.
Appearance: Basically the same as a Blackhawk/Silversix, but with the same colors as the Dark Thorn Blade, Spike Shower, and Dark Thorn Shield.
Scource: An upgraded TSS.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And the final upgrade make it into the...

Name: Barbarous Thorn Revolver
Star rating: 5*.
Type of weapon: Handgun.
Damage: Piercing.
Attack: A six-bullet clip, just like an Antigua, the bullets are still red, and the damage is the same as an Argent Peacemaker/Sentenza.
Charge attack: The same as the Argent Peacemaker/Sentenza, but instead of a yellow/purple bird flying foward, it's a red, holographic Snarbolax lunging toward the enemy.
Bonuses: Damage Bonus vs. Beast: Medium.
Description: A handgun of terrible power that fires bullets of Snarbolax tooth with the wrath of the great beast itself. Those who hold it claim to feel the fiery glare of the Snarbolax upon them whenever they close their eyes.
Appearance: Basically the same as an Argent Peacemaker/Sentenza, but with the same colors as the Barbarous Thorn Blade, Dark Briar Barrage, and Barbarous Thorn Shield. Also, if you look at the "wings" of the AP/Sentenza, they look like birds and wings. That would change to look more like a little Wolver or Snarbolax, and the wings would have little points at the end (hopefully).
Scource: An upgraded DTR.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I made the icons for these wonderful (:D?) new guns out of the Antigua's icon's shape and the Snarble Barb and upgrade's colors. They turned out well, in my opinion.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I think the most notable uses for this gun would be to complete a Snarbolax outfit, to give the AP and Sentenza a piercing cousin (they kinda need it after their own piercing was removed), and to make a piercing gun that allows you to actually MOVE while firing. Plus, BTR sounds cool. :D

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

One last thing. I know it would be weird to have a new boss-weapon without giving the other bosses something new, so I thought up the Jelly Foil and upgrades, Gun Puppy Armor and upgrades, and Charred Ticker and upgrade. If anyone asks, I'll post my ideas on this thread, or maybe on a new one.

Please leave feedback, and if any devs are out there looking at this, please consider making this a real in-game item!

Eh...

I can't say I read your entire post, but there's this.

I haven't read all of that thread either, but from what I understand they're similar.

Whoops.

@Schattentag - Yeah, they are very similar, actually. I didn't know that someone had suggested anything like this before, sorry. :c

I still like my idea better, despite how they're almost exactly the same. xD

Yeah, ever since AP/Sentenza were changed, people have been pushing more than ever for a pure piercing gun that you can kite with, so no worries. I guess if they're slightly different I might eventually get around to looking over both thoroughly to figure out which one I'd like to support more, but right now I'm attempting to solo FSC with a Shivermist and a Khorovod...

It doesnt need to be a boss reward.

Replace snarbolax with a generic wolver or make a reference to a 'skolver' (where does the most famous coat and cap come from?) creature by swapping any darkcolor with white/grey.

That way doesnt create any confusions or problems.

But it's not as pretty, and we'd lose the description, names, and completion of the Snarby set.

Maybe it could be crafted at the Sanctuary Alchemy Machine?
