A mockup "screenshot" I did in Photoshop to show what an amazingly in-depth customization system might look like for a Battlefield game. **These are not the actual weapons in BF3**
Well, I've done it! The Standard model of the CornerShot, fitted with a glock pistol. This has been one of my most challenging weapons ever, because of the difficult feature that involves a third of the gun to rotate 180 degrees. I went over a few different designs and features, and after six weeks, and over 20 hours, I've come up with a final design I love! This is probably my favorite weapon I've ever built. I think I've done a good job at combining functionality with detail. The most difficult part of the swiveling section was the brake mechanism. If I was to make it turn, I didn't want it to just fall to one side every time I tilted it in the slightest direction. So here's how it works. A long technic rod was used as the axle, and a few technic bricks were used to attach both sections of the gun together. To create more friction so it wouldn't tilt so easily, I used rubber tires, and a ribbed hose flattened tightly. It still tilts, but not nearly as easily as it did previous to the additions. Some of the other working features besides the 180 degree turn include a working safety, collapsible stock, iron sights, removable pistol, folding screen for front camera, removable magazine, working trigger (on the pistol, not the rifle) and a few adjustable knobs on the front light. Some more facts about the gun, It's length is 34 inches long, and it weighs almost four pounds.
If you guys have any more suggestions on other guns, let me know! But for now I think I have one planned...

The pride of any modern fleet in known space, a capital ship scale carrier such as the Sarahbae class represented the pinnacle of power projection. With mobile frame combat constantly evolving and expanding to fill a decisive role in fleet battles, the ability to rapidly field an entire squadron of space worthy mobile frames was a critical capability for any serious space power. Dramstellar's final capital ship design was actually a spiritual successor to their very first carrier, one which admittedly was a rushed refurbishment of a cargo hauler which left much to be desired, but was instrumental in the liberation of Colonia II from the Ijad occupation. The megacorp's shipwrights gained tremendous first hand experience repurposing the original Sarahbae, jerry rigging what they could under a tight deadline, and combined with all the since gained experience with the fleet development program, had great expectations leveled on their teams from the corporate suits above for the megacorp's first proper supercarrier. A cruiser might be the flagship of a dedicated fleet, and the battlecruiser was the armored fist, but without a carrier there was almost no point to even trying to fight if your opponent fielded mobile frames. And everyone always fielded mobile frames, even if a single paltry company; mobile frames were game changers. A single company could, would, and had altered the outcome of every fleet battle since the first time the Terran Expeditionary Marines slapped an impromptu catapult on a ship and called it good enough for government work. With a purpose built warship packed to the gills with enough arms, ammo, and fuel to support two mobile frame companies independently of each other, nevermind the shipboard point defense support the Sarahbae class itself could provide, the new carrier was a far cry from its predecessor, let alone the original TEM kitbashes.
Any discussion of the Sarahbae class carrier would naturally begin with the prominent twin launch catapult bow arm. Two vertically aligned, electrically propelled catapult rail systems ran along opposite sides of the bow for its entire length, allowing for the mobile frames to reach considerable speeds at no cost to the suit's limited fuel supply. A twin point defense turret mounted at the extreme end under the bow provided suppressing fire against any enemy mobile frames attempting to score an easy kill during a launch, supported by multiple turrets further back along the carrier. Each catapult connected to an individual drum hangar with a corresponding rear recovery deck, the round hangar design capitalizing on the lack of gravity to store six mobile frames around the walls in rings of three, carefully cradled in maintenance berths. The drum hangars are naturally aligned along the same vertical orientation as the catapults, and with hangar specific support staff each company was capable of independent operation including launch, resupply, and mobile frame upkeep. The 'top' of each hangar also mounted a PDG dedicated to defending the hangars, as well as generally supporting launch operations and ship defense. Additional PDG turrets were located on either side of the bridge and finally one on the bottom of the ship, bringing the total to six which provided decent coverage to most areas of the ship with except of the rear, which is more heavily armored to compensate. Heavy armor also ran the length of the carrier with emphasis on the core of the ship and around the four massive capital grade engines.
While the carrier may have seemed less well armed and more lightly defended that a ship of its size and stature would warrant, any doubters would have done well to remember that the true might of the Sarahbae class, and that of the fleet for that matter, were the mobile frames and their pilots which nestled within, ready to spring forward at a moment's notice to charge ships many times their size. The same doubters may have expressed concern for the brave pilots who would no doubt resembled fools tilting at windmills, but anyone who had witnessed a mobile frame company in action would have felt more pity for the service personnel aboard said ships, as they could do naught but watch helplessly as the steel reapers descended upon their vessel.

While you fall there is a lot of paper work to do, pre-op, admissions, permissions, your will and much more. Sign your name a thousand times.
But much of this is knowledge given to you by people you travel with. Advice and guidance of all kinds. All of these are your weapons and armor, you fight with these for yourself and everyone else. You still fall, but maybe not so fast now.
I have people I love and who love me, I have a warm place to sleep and this morning I smelled bread baking. There has never been anyone richer than me.
Also, now I get the last piece of cake. Surgery in 3 days. But today I can say, "Honey, why don't you come here and ease my fear..."
Because now you get the last piece of cake.
Some background:
The idea for a heavy infantry support vehicle capable of demolishing heavily defended buildings or fortified areas with a single shot came out of the experiences of the heavy urban fighting in the Battle of Stalingrad in 1942. At the time, the Wehrmacht had only the Sturm-Infanteriegeschütz 33B available for destroying buildings, a Sturmgeschütz III variant armed with a 15 cm sIG 33 heavy infantry gun. Twelve of them were lost in the fighting at Stalingrad. Its successor, the Sturmpanzer IV, also known by Allies as Brummbär, was in production from early 1943. This was essentially an improved version of the earlier design, mounting the same gun on the Panzer IV chassis with greatly improved armour protection.
While greatly improved compared to the earlier models, by this time infantry anti-tank weapons were improving dramatically, too, and the Wehrmacht still saw a need for a similar, but more heavily armoured and armed vehicle. Therefore, a decision was made to create a new vehicle based on the Tiger tank and arm it with a 210 mm howitzer. However, this weapon turned out not to be available at the time and was therefore replaced by a 380 mm rocket launcher, which was adapted from a Kriegsmarine depth charge launcher.
The 380 mm Raketen-Werfer 61 L/5.4 was a breech-loading barrel, which fired a short-range, rocket-propelled projectile roughly 1.5 m (4 ft 11 in) long. The gun itself existed in two iterations at the time. One, the RaG 43 (Raketenabschuss-Gerät 43), was a ship-mounted anti-aircraft weapon used for firing a cable-spooled parachute-anchor creating a hazard for aircraft. The second, the RTG 38 (Raketen Tauch-Geschoss 38), was a land-based system, originally planned for use in coastal installations by the Kriegsmarine firing depth-charges against submarines with a range of about 3.000 m. For use in a vehicle, the RTG 38 was to find use as a demolition gun and had to be modified for that role. This modification work was carried out by Rheinmetall at their Sommerda works.
The design of the rocket system caused some problems. Modified for use in a vehicle, the recoil from the modified rocket-mortar was enormous, about 40-tonnes, and this meant that only a heavy chassis could be used to mount the gun. The hot rocket exhaust could not be vented into the fighting compartment nor could the barrel withstand the pressure if the gasses were not vented. Therefore, a ring of ventilation shafts was put around the barrel which channeled the exhaust and gave the weapon something of a pepperbox appearance.
The shells for the weapon were extremely heavy, far too heavy for a man to load manually. As a result, each of them had to be carried by means of a ceiling-mounted trolley from their rack to a roller-mounted tray at the breech. Once on the tray, four soldiers could then push it into the breech to load it. The whole process took 10 minutes per shot from loading, aiming, elevating and, finally, to firing.
There were a variety of rocket-assisted round types with a weight of up to 376 kg (829 lb), and a maximum range of up to 6,000 m (20,000 ft), which either contained a high explosive charge of 125 kg (276 lb) or a shaped charge for use against fortifications, which could penetrate up to 2.5 m (8 ft 2 in) of reinforced concrete. The stated range of the former was 5,650 m (6,180 yd). A normal charge first accelerated the projectile to 45 m/s (150 ft/s) to leave the short, rifled barrel, the 40 kg (88 lb) rocket charge then boosted this to about 250 m/s (820 ft/s).
In September 1943 plans were made for Krupp to fabricate new Tiger I armored hulls for the Sturmtiger. The Tiger I hulls were to be sent to Henschel for chassis assembly and then to Alkett, where the superstructures would be mounted. The first prototype was ready and presented in October 1943. By May 1944, the Sturmtiger prototype had been kept busy with trials and firing tests for the development of range tables, but production had still not started yet and the concept was likely to be scrapped. Rather than ditch the idea though, orders were given that, instead of interrupting the production of the Tiger I, the Sturmtigers would be built on the chassis of Tiger I tanks which had already been in action and suffered serious damage. Twelve superstructures and RW 61 weapons were prepared and mounted on rebuilt Tiger I chassis. However, by August 1944 the dire need for this kind of vehicle led to the adaptation of another chassis to the 380 mm Sturmmörser: the SdKfz. 184, better known as “Ferdinand” (after its designer’s forename) and later, in an upgraded version, “Elefant”.
The Elefant (German for "elephant") was actually a heavy tank destroyer and the result of mismanagement and poor planning: Porsche GmbH had manufactured about 100 chassis for their unsuccessful proposal for the Tiger I tank, the so-called "Porsche Tiger". Both the successful Henschel proposal and the Porsche design used the same Krupp-designed turret—the Henschel design had its turret more-or-less centrally located on its hull, while the Porsche design placed the turret much closer to the front of the superstructure. Since the competing Henschel Tiger design was chosen for production, the Porsche chassis were no longer required for the Tiger tank project, and Porsche was left with 100 unfinished heavy tank hulls.
It was therefore decided that the Porsche chassis were to be used as the basis of a new heavy tank hunter, the Ferdinand, mounting Krupp's newly developed 88 mm (3.5 in) Panzerjägerkanone 43/2 (PaK 43) anti-tank gun with a new, long L71 barrel. This precise long-range weapon was intended to destroy enemy tanks before they came within their own range of effective fire, but in order to mount the very long and heavy weapon on the Porsche hull, its layout had to be completely redesigned.
Porsche’s SdKfz. 184’s unusual petrol-electric transmission made it much easier to relocate the engines than would be the case on a mechanical-transmission vehicle, since the engines could be mounted anywhere, and only the length of the power cables needed to be altered, as opposed to re-designing the driveshafts and locating the engines for the easiest routing of power shafts to the gearbox. Without the forward-mounted turret of the Porsche Tiger prototype, the twin engines were relocated to the front, where the turret had been, leaving room ahead of them for the driver and radio operator. As the engines were placed in the middle, the driver and the radio operator were isolated from the rest of the crew and could be addressed only by intercom. The now empty rear half of the hull was covered with a heavily armored, full five-sided casemate with slightly sloped upper faces and armored solid roof, and turned into a crew compartment, mounting a single 8.8 cm Pak 43 cannon in the forward face of the casemate.
From this readily available basis, the SdKfz. 184/1 was hurriedly developed. It differed from the tank hunter primarily through its new casemate that held the 380 mm Raketenwerfer. Since the SdKfz. 184/1 was intended for use in urban areas in close range street fighting, it needed to be heavily armoured to survive. Its front plate had a greater slope than the Ferdinand while the sides were more vertical and the roof was flat. Its sloped (at 47° from vertical) frontal casemate armor was 150 mm (5.9 in) thick, while its superstructure side and rear plates had a strength of 82 mm (3.2 in). The SdKfz.184/1 also received add-on armor of 100 mm thickness, bolted to the hull’s original vertical front plates, increasing the thickness to 200 mm but adding 5 tons of weight. All these measures pushed the weight of the vehicle up from the Ferdinand’s already bulky 65 t to 75 t, limiting the vehicle’s manoeuvrability even further. Located at the rear of the loading hatch was a Nahverteidigungswaffe launcher which was used for close defense against infantry with SMi 35 anti-personnel mines, even though smoke grenades or signal flares could be fired with the device in all directions, too. For close-range defense, a 7.92 mm MG 34 machine gun was carried in a ball mount in the front plate, an addition that was introduced to the Elefant tank hunters, too, after the SdKfz. 184 had during its initial deployments turned out to be very vulnerable to infantry attacks.
Due to the size of the RW 61 and the bulkiness of the ammunition, only fourteen rounds could be carried internally, of which one was already loaded, with another stored in the loading tray, and the rest were carried in two storage racks, leaving only little space for the crew of four in the rear compartment. To help with the loading of ammunition into the vehicle, a loading crane was fitted at the rear of the superstructure next to the loading hatch on the roof.
Due to the internal limits and the tactical nature of the vehicle, it was intended that each SdKfz. 184/1 (as well as each Sturmtiger) would be accompanied by an ammunition carrier, typically based on the Panzer IV chassis, but the lack of resources did not make this possible. There were even plans to build a dedicated, heavily armored ammunition carrier on the Tiger I chassis, but only one such carrier was completed and tested, it never reached production status.
By the time the first RW 61 carriers had become available, Germany had lost the initiative, with the Wehrmacht being almost exclusively on the defensive rather than the offensive, and this new tactical situation significantly weakened the value of both Sturmtiger and Sturmelefant, how the SdKfz 184/1 was semi-officially baptized. Nevertheless, three new Panzer companies were raised to operate the Sturmpanzer types: Panzer Sturmmörser Kompanien (PzStuMrKp) ("Armored Assault Mortar Company") 1000, 1001 and 1002. These originally were supposed to be equipped with fourteen vehicles each, but this figure was later reduced to four each, divided into two platoons, consisting of mixed vehicle types – whatever was available and operational.
PzStuMrKp 1000 was raised on 13 August 1944 and fought during the Warsaw Uprising with two vehicles, as did the prototype in a separate action, which may have been the only time the Sturmtiger was used in its intended role. PzStuMrKp 1001 and 1002 followed in September and October. Both PzStuMrKp 1000 and 1001 served during the Ardennes Offensive, with a total of four Sturmtiger and three Sturmelefanten.
After this offensive, the Sturmpanzer were used in the defence of Germany, mainly on the Western Front. During the battle for the bridge at Remagen, German forces mobilized Sturmmörserkompanie 1000 and 1001 (with a total of 7 vehicles, five Sturmtiger and two Sturmelefanten) to take part in the battle. The tanks were originally tasked with using their mortars against the bridge itself, though it was discovered that they lacked the accuracy needed to hit the bridge and cause significant damage with precise hits to vital structures. During this action, one of the Sturmtigers in Sturmmörserkompanie 1001 near Düren and Euskirchen allegedly hit a group of stationary Shermans tanks in a village with a 380mm round, resulting in nearly all the Shermans being put out of action and their crews killed or wounded - the only recorded tank-on-tank combat a Sturmtiger was ever engaged in. After the bridge fell to the Allies, Sturmmörserkompanie 1000 and 1001 were tasked with bombardment of Allied forces to cover the German retreat, as opposed to the bunker busting for which they had originally been designed for. None was actually destroyed through enemy fire, but many vehicles had to be given up due to mechanical failures or the lack of fuel. Most were blown up by their crews, but a few fell into allied hands in an operational state.
Total production numbers of the SdKfz. 184/1 are uncertain but, being an emergency product and based on a limited chassis supply, the number of vehicles that left the Nibelungenwerke in Austria was no more than ten – also because the tank hunter conversion had top priority and the exotic RW 61 launcher was in very limited supply. As a consequence, only a total of 18 Sturmtiger had been finished by December 1945 and put into service, too. However, the 380 mm Raketen-Werfer 61 remained in production and was in early 1946 adapted to the new Einheitspanzer E-50/75 chassis.

The kit and its assembly:.
This fictional tank model is not my own idea, it is rather based on a picture of a similar kitbashing of an Elefant with a Sturmtiger casemate and its massive missile launcher – even though it was a rather crude model, with a casemate created from cardboard. However, I found the idea charming, even more so because the Ferdinand/Elefant was rather a rolling bunker than an agile tank hunter, despite its powerful weapon. Why not use the same chassis as a carrier for the Sturmtiger’s huge mortar as an assault SPG?
The resulting Sturmelefant was created as a kitbashing: the chassis is an early boxing of the Trumpeter Elefant, which comes not only with IP track segments but also alternative vinyl tracks (later boxing do not feature them), and casemate parts come from a Trumpeter Sturmtiger.
While one would think that switching the casemate would be straightforward affair, the conversion turned out to be more complex than expected. Both Elefant and Sturmtiger come with separate casemate pieces, but they are not compatible. The Sturmtiger casemate is 2mm wider than the Elefant’s hull, and its glacis plate is deeper than the Elefant’s, leaving 4mm wide gaps at the sides and the rear. One option could have been to trim down the glacis plate, but I found the roofline to become much too low – and the casemate’s length would have been reduced.
So, I used the Sturmtiger casemate “as is” and filled the gaps with styrene sheet strips. This worked, but the casemate’s width created now inward-bent sections that looked unplausible. Nobody, even grazed German engineers, would not have neglected the laws of structural integrity. What to do? Tailoring the casemate’s sides down would have been one route, but this would have had created a strange shape. The alternative I chose was to widen the flanks of the Elefant’s hull underneath the casemate, which was achieved with tailored 0.5 mm styrene sheet panels and some PSR – possible through the Elefant’s simple shape and the mudguards that run along the vehicle’s flanks.
Some more PSR was necessary to blend the rear into a coherent shape and to fill a small gap at the glacis plate’s base. Putty was also used to fill/hide almost all openings on the glacis plate, since no driver sight or ball mount for a machine gun was necessary anymore. New bolts between hull and casemate were created with small drops of white glue. The rest of the surface details were taken from the respective donor kits.
Painting and markings:
This was not an easy choice. A classic Hinterhalt scheme would have been a natural choice, but since the Sturmelefant would have been converted from existing hulls with new parts, I decided to emphasize this heritage through a simple, uniform livery: all Ferdinand elements would be painted/left in a uniform Dunkelgelb (RAL, 7028, Humbrol 83), while the new casemate as well as the bolted-on front armor were left in a red primer livery, in two different shades (Humbrol 70 and 113). This looked a little too simple for my taste, so that I eventually added snaky lines in Dunkelgelb onto the primer-painted sections, blurring the contrast between the two tones.
Markings remained minimal, just three German crosses on the flanks and at the rear and a tactical code on the casemate – the latter in black and in a hand-written style, as if the vehicle had been rushed into frontline service.
After the decals had been secured under sone varnish the model received an overall washing with dark brown, highly thinned acrylic paint, some dry-brushing with light grey and some rust traces, before it was sealed overall with matt acrylic varnish and received some dirt stains with mixed watercolors and finally, after the tracks had been mounted, some artist pigments as physical dust on the lower areas.
Again a project that appeared simple but turned out to be more demanding because the parts would not fit as well as expected. The resulting bunker breaker looks plausible, less massive than the real Sturmtiger but still a menacing sight.

Vetterli Vitali Model 1871/87/16 Vetterli
In 1871, the Italian army adopted the rifle single shot Swiss Vetterli in caliber 10.35 mm. In 1897 Captain Vitali modified the gun by giving it a mechanism to repetition and a linear charger that contained four shots. During the First World War, as the demand for guns by the army could not be fully satisfied by the production of new weapons type 1891 was provided to forfeit the Vetterli Vitali in caliber 6.5 mm by replacing the barrel and the package loader. Was provided also to shorten the bayonet, and with the scraps were fabricated the Arditi's daggers. The weapon as amended, was distributed to the territorial militia, to the colonial troops and to the military who did not fight in the front line. The rifle model 1871/87/16 weighed 4.6 kg, was 135 cm long and the barrel length was 86 cm.
Mannlicher Carcano rifle model 1891
Italy replaced the old munitions of the Vetterli Vitali 10.35 mm with a new cartridge in 6.5 mm. The rifle model 1891 had the power system devised by Mannlicher, which requires caging cartridges in a special package charger of brass. In the model 1891, the magazine was reversible and it stored six-cartridges. The shutter was designed by Carcano rifle. The barrel was in pure carbon steel and had a progressive rifling which increased shooting accuracy. The rifle was 128 cm long and weighed 3.8 kg. The saber bayonet mod. 1891 was 41 cm long and the blade length was 30 cm. Every military had supplied accessories for the maintenance of the gun, while each foreman was equipped with spare parts that kept stowed in a backpack.
The Bodeo model 1889 replaced the revolver model 1874, keeping the same cartridge in caliber 10:35 Chamelot Delvigne. The 1889 model was a double-action revolver with bunk drive, drum tipper and was equipped with an auction for the extraction of empty shells. It fired a jacketed lead bullet in brass, 15 mm long and weighing 11.6 grams. The brass cartridge case was 21 mm long. The model 1889 was produced in two versions, type A was distributed to enlisted men, the type B to the officers and NCOs.
The type A had the trigger folding free bridge and weighed 890 grams, the Type B bridge weighed 910 grams. There was also a model lightened, said C, which had the shorter barrel having a cylindrical section, rather than hexagonal as in the two previous types. The grips were walnut knurled to increase the grip of the handle. From 1894 onwards, the revolver was equipped with a safety system to the sliding finger, first placed externally on the left side, then inside of the weapon itself, which prevented the complete removal of the dog, if this was not armed and the trigger was not pressed all the way. The length of the weapon types ranged from 275 mm to 230 mm A and B of type C.
Automatic pistol model 1910 Glisenti
The automatic pistol model 1910 Glisenti was forfeited in caliber 9x19 Glisenti, was 210 mm long and weighed 800 grams to download. The barrel measured 95 mm. The gun was initially designed to seize the ammunition 9 mm Parabellum, but the evidence revealed that the ammunition was too powerful for a gun in mass closure, so that the charge was decreased by 25% giving rise to the caliber 9 mm Glisenti. Originally the grips were made of hard rubber withe the eagle of Savoy for insigna, following these grips proved too delicate for use in the trenches and were replaced by walnut grips. During the war there were made some changes to the weapon, both to make it more robust, both to simplify the processes of production, and thus had originated the model Brixia that had a different mechanics and was more boxy than its predecessor.
Automatic pistol Beretta model 1915
The automatic Beretta pistol patent 1915 was designed to fire the ammunition caliber 9mm Glisenti.
