What is this type of sci fi tech called? (possibly nsfw PIC)

I use to be an elmo which I have recovered from and that is what you would call an "Elmo" chick on steroids.

I noticed that earlier. WTF? I guess props are important when you're playing dress-up...but come on...using children's toys?

lol i noticed it right off the bat too. my son has that gun.

but really the nerf weapons are very neat. do a search there are a bunch of sites of people modding them. some are pretty cool

Yeah, I've seen some of the mods. My grandson is a nerf-gun nut and has several of the ones that are popular as hell for modding, like the vulcan machine gun...but they're still toys, and it just seems odd to see adults playing dress-up with them.

I'm wanting to learn machining so I can start doing some neat steampunk designs with metal.

 

[Ballatician]

Machining is fun. Wish time and materials were cheaper though.

 

[KentState]

the retro style makes it steampunk.

Not necessarily as clockpunk also has retro styling. Diesel and atom punk both have retro styling also, but the weapon looks closer to either steam or clock.

Yeah, I started looking into the cost of raw materials. Its expensive

hm.. what kind of jobs would possibly allow me to tinker w/machining steampunk during down time?

Good criteria for choosing a career

Be a machinist. There's good money, and good demand if you know what you're doing.

So you're huge and red?

 

[zokudu]

Steampunk. This thread gets me excited for Bioshock Infinate for some reason.

A better gun choice

 

[sandorski]

I would have searched for Tom's Hardware.

A better gun choice

So instead of painting a $15 nerf gun, she's supposed to buy a $70 gun that isn't even capable of shooting darts? No way Jose.

 

[Hayabusa Rider]

I'm not sure of the precise genre, but I'd hit it.

Haha the first thing I thought was "Is that a Nerf Maverick??"

 

[Aikouka]

It just works... it's all about getting the right look when you do that sort of cosplay/costume stuff. You could probably machine something out of metal that looks good, but why go through all the effort when it gets the same point across .

Absolutely yes, wouldn't you rather have the cool triple barreled pistol over a painted nerf gun?

 

[ShawnD1]

I would rather not spend $70 if that's what you're asking

 

[Malak]

If you do steampunk, you will spend a lot more than $70.

 

[ShawnD1]

Maybe thats why I only do regular anime cosplay. So much cheaper

some of those costumes are awesome, but very expensives thought.

There are better sites for costumes, but these guns caught my eye on that site. The clothing is generally expensive, but it is because it is specialty clothing. A lot of detail is put into it.

 

[IcePickFreak]

The weapon that chick is holding is a repainted nerf gun.

haha I was gonna say this. Was playing around with my nephews the other day (3-1/2 & 11) and they handed me that gun to defend myself from the impending rain of nerf projectiles about to descend on me.
