Semi Auto design

Roughed out gun design. Can't have a first person shooter without a gun.

Pistol Design. With a brushed steel finish and rubber stipple grip, my attempt at a clean minimal looking design. I didn't want it to look like a plastic toy (glock), nor did I want it festooned with lines. Simple and sharp looking, a precisely manufactured item. The interesting feature is the trigger guard. Rather than a proper safety, the trigger guard IS the safety, lol. It swivels and acts as a cover for the trigger so there's no way for the trigger to get depressed. Internally of course the firing pin can still be triggered independent of the trigger with a good jolt, hence the trigger guard when flipped also internally safes the firing pin.

The 9mm round is a variable explosive round. What's a variable explosive round? Well, see the nipple on the tip of the round. Within the nipple is a secondary charge. When the bullet impacts a hard target, the secondary charge in the nipple detonates the main charge within the bullet, causing the bullet to explode, maximizing energy transfer into the target. This highly directional exothermic reaction is capable of penetrating most forms of kevlar and personal ballistic plate armour. Against soft targets such as human flesh, obviously the nipple is not triggered and the round behaves like a standard 9mm parabellum round.
