The Steampunk Airship Captain's Repeating Pistol with brass range finder

 I've been wanting to do an all metal Steampunk weapon for a long time, but have never really had the chance. Thankfully, since I've become an authorized Denix Gun Replica dealer I've had more access to these great replicas. I decided to convert this Vulcan Repeating Pistol into a Steampunk weapon with some real brass components. As I always like to add a bit of alt-history and sense to my guns---no random cogs and gears--- I added a short fictitious history to this weapon. Enjoy the read and pics below and if anyone is interested in picking up one of these great pieces, check out my shop at Geek House Creations.

"According to our records, the Air Captain's pistol was a heavily modified Vulcan repeating pistol used by select troops aboard dirigibles during the various Air Wars of the 19th century. The pistol fired two kinds of projectiles, the conventional 41. caliber round and the special and heavier incendiary thermite round. The thermite rounds were specifically designed as anti- dirigible rounds meant to cause fire and havoc on opposing airships. The heavy round required a complex range finder to use properly. The thermite round also required that the barrel be primed with air via the reloading level pump, A small gauge indicted when the barrel was primed and the gun could be fired."

Next up, I'll be posting a link to my alternate Geek House Creations shop where I'll be carrying all great Denix Replica products that I can't carry on Etsy Geek House Creations. I'm really looking forward to being able to offer all the great Denix guns, swords, armor, and gear available through Denix, If you've ever held one for their reproductions in your hands, you will be hooked. So stay tuned!
