Finished this thing a couple months ago but finally got a chance to take it out to the woods to see how it photographed there.

Imagined design, based on a shape-charge-hurling hand cannon carried by a 1930's pulp character in a friend's paper-and-pencil RPG.

Found parts (pistol grip, forend, ladder sight, buttstock and sling), metal (barrels, sight post, most of upper receiver) Shapeway prints (breech blocks, forend flanges.) Barrels open for reloading (unlatched by running the forend grip rearwards) and push back against buffer spring in the stock. Breaks down to fit in the canvas bag; butt stock removes and pistol grip is pinned to receiver.

A lot of metal but not as many welds as I intended. You can shake it, but I'd rather not drop it.
