An fat old-fashioned cartooney revolver which, in spite of looking like a heavy caliber firearm, can only propel bullets out a tiny distance before they immediately fall to the floor in an ironically anti-climactic fashion. They quickly blow up and knock the target back a maximum of four tiles, perhaps dealing fire. The charging animation consists of the knight preparing for massive recoil, only for a tiny "bang" flag to come out. However, a slow bomb fuse timer will appear where the cursor was, and upon going off will strike an area of five tiles in diameter with a large anvil from the sky, which deals no knockback but significant damage and perhaps stun status. Neither status is totally necessary. The charge isn't intended to simply be a long range bomb; getting the target under the anvil via the non-charge shots is supposed to be a challenge.

This could all potentially be accompanied by a custard-pie shield which, for each enemy hit in a shield bash, spits out a status puddle like a chromalisk, stunning enemies with thick rich custardey goodness making them ample targets for anvils. Perhaps a rotten fish or rubber chicken could make a nice sword.

SK isn't Looney Toons

I'm certainly not suggesting

I'm certainly not suggesting making the whole game looney toons, but references to other genres of media could add a little zest to the game. If you don't like the style, do you at least like the mechanics? I thought trying to get synergy between the charge and normal fire passively as opposed to directly like the catalyzer was a good goal.

....

With the current amount of CTR available to gunners now I don't think many will use the regular attack (rather they would just spam the charge). The shield is overpowered and has no related mechanics ingame.

We currently have the Tortoguns for artillery strikes and Tortoshields for dealing status.

The regular attack could be reworked so that it spits out Blue globs (6 in a clip so spam is easy) that detonate after a bit (like Blast cube globs). The charge attack could fire a large glob into the air where it would land on the Cursor and explode like a water balloon (dealing light damage, a pinch of knockback, and stun), out of this would come about a dozen little globs.

The shield could be changed so that the shield bash doesn't stun but leaves a trail of Icing/Snow.

And rather than being clowny weapons these would be more Chef Weapons (obtainable from the Cake slice token trade).

I think that a gag gun like this would be wonderful. Would make a good reskin as well as a new handgun, whatever the developers desire.

Even though it might not make a good weapon but can make an awesome promo

@Holy-Nightmare Charge spam

@Holy-Nightmare

Charge spam is possible I suppose, but I was thinking of making the fuse huge to prevent that from being too useful.

I disagree that the shield is overpowered since it's just stun; the bash itself inflicts stun anyway, and you have to inflict it once per puddle, meaning that honestly it's more likely to be useless than OP.

Only for an item with an idea SIMILAR to pie shield. It would be quite an interesting choice, it just can't be some delicious desert.
