Looks like a double barreled 10g pistol. Ouch.

Rather canon barrel-ish I'd say.

Very cool! I wonder if you can get ammo for it?

How about some "Steampunk" Grips for a 1911?

Rolan, your style grips on the Krieghoff would make the ultimate "Howdy Gun"; Steampunk version.

That is cool item. Are flares available?

Z06, I'm considering getting some engraving on the sides to make it more "Steampunk-ish".

Dumb question maybe.
What is Steampunk?

I am not the best to answer. To me steampunk is like the Wild Wild West series. It's basically steam driven technology. Lots of gears and sprokets along with copper. Smile

This is what wikipedia has to say about it.

The Industrial Age equivalent of Cyberpunk, if that helps, and it probably doesn't.

Black,
"Steampunk" is best described as "Victorian Science Fiction". Jules Verne, H.G. Wells, H.P. Lovecraft. Often described as fiction in an "Alternate Reality" where Steam remained as the primary source of industry and propulsion.
