FsW-24-J Tecpatlby ~daisukekazama

Digital Art / 3-Dimensional Art / Objects / Weapons

A concept weapon I've been working on, with the guiding philosophy of 'screw realism, go for looks and wrap it with cyberpunk technobabble.' That said, I actually built the grip in clay before I modeled it, so it works - honest!

By the by, I was going for that 'moral-gray-zone government paramilitary unit' (i.e. Shirow Masamune) look, so if you get that impression I've succeeded.

Falkenhayn Schram FsW-24-J submachine gun. Caliber 6.2x25 mm, gas operated rotating bolt with a proprietary 'ArcMag' system (basically a P90-esque magazine with the bullets staggered in an arch pattern) to streamline the weapon and keep it compact. Combined with a single-point sling, the weapon can be concealed under a loose jacket or even inside a sports bag.

The weapon is 648 mm long and 204 mm high, smaller than the popular MP5 by a good inch or so. The barrel length, on the other hand, is a whopping 333 mm - one and a half times longer than the MP5A2. The ArcMag holds 40 rounds. Other features include a detachable STANAG rail, ambidextrous controls (can be field-stripped and switched over), a suppressor, a two-mode sight with options for 50 and 100 yards, and a light-fiber front sight.

As for the innards, the Tecpatl ('obsidian knife') has more in common with Eastern products like the Russian 9A-91 than any Western firearm, owing mostly to its East European design team. Fire rate is a modest and controllable 750 rounds per minute. The 6.2mm Rodega cartridge - developed from the Swedish CBJ - balances stopping power with armor penetration capabilities for desirable ballistics in urban conditions. The recoil is very light, and the weapon is reportedly very controllable even on full-auto.

Falkenhayn Schram is © me 2012, I guess.

Looks like a FAMAS and A P90 had a baby

im not a fan of the fire selector switch or the handedness, and would it be difficult to reload while in prone position? its an eyecatching and slick design and while low on realism, it is awesome and cyberpunky. I'd have one if you're selling

Did you base it on the P90?

Very cool and Shirow-esque and the ergonomics look pretty believable. My only gripe would be the stock looks like it would make for a really uncomfortable cheek weld.

Cool concept!

Interesting weapon design! It really does remind me of Shirow Masamune's work with the slight futuristic design while still being grounded in reality. I can imagine how I might operate this firearm should it actually exist and that's somewhat rare for concept weapons. The grip doesn't actually appear that ergonomic... but my experience in holding firearms is rather limited so this is a matter of opinion at the moment. Ambidextrous controls, bullpup design, large enough spacing and controls to accommodate gloves... all aspects that make me like this gun. Unfortunately, there are some points I'm not too fond of... its a rather high carry handle for the sights. I would imagine the weapon would only benefit with the sights being closer to the actual barrel. The weapon also appears to be rather long for a compact weapon. It kind of gives off the assault rifle feel, quite intimidating and powerful. Finally, it looks like you can probably shift the magazine further forward. I don't imagine there would be much underneath the grip so it would only serve as a hinge for the unique mag. That would probably shorten the weapon too. Regardless of what I say, this is infinitely better than what I can do and I admire godly designed weapons like this. Good Job!!

I actually designed the entire front end of this weapon in clay

It works surprisingly well. Thanks for the input.

~DigitalCantina Jan 19, 2013

You mind if I take a run at this design in 3d?

~daisukekazama Jan 23, 2013

Go ahead! As before link me when done so I can admire your handiwork.

The only thing I see on this thing that isn't realistic is the way the mag is curved. This would easily function with a reverse pitson drive. For the "screw realism" aspect you've done an amazing job designing an Asthetic gun that could very well work, and work effectivally in real life.

If you got the money, try producing something like this, I'd love to see you craft the real deal.

Once again, great work.
