Description Greetings friends!

I've been hard at work in the labs, but the end result was well worth the effort as I do believe I've created my finest pistol to date: The Ruby Flintlock Filibuster.

Believe it or not, this pistol partially operates on a different plane of existence! No really, its true. You see, wormholes and tears in the space time continuum have been known to science for many years. However, it has been nigh impossible to harness or control said phenomenons... until now! Recently ascertained by yours truly, if one fortifies the naturally occurring Al2O3 and trace titanium elements found in red corundum, one can produce tears in the forth dimension, id est: time.

I've collected some of the purest grade crimson corundum available and concentrated these samples with a spark impetus in a vacuum tube (henceforth known as the 'Ruby whatsis') situated behind the time-cull apportionater conduit. Pressing the trigger causes the flintlock to strike the copper alloy flare, activating the Ruby whatsis, thus opening a finely tuned portal in time which can then be directed towards any hapless victim you wish to delay.

Unfortunately, at this time(no pun intended) I have only been able to use said portal to obstruct the forward momentum of time. I am confident, however, that with more time(har!) and research I can expand upon the uses of these Ruby whatsis doodads.

Oh yes. Just for fun, I added a secondary barrel that shoots freeze rays. How sweet is that?

Due to the rarity and extreme value of high grade corundum suitable for my ruby whatsis doodads, this pistol is priced at 95 astro credits.

Available soon via my etsy store, here: [link]

As always, thanks for viewing! All comments and crit are welcome.

-Professor Tursiart



UPDATE: The original has sold, but you may still purchase photographic prints of this pistol via my etsy store, as well as many other Ray Pistols created by yours truly.

Oh, that's cool! It's kind of a hard base to find, compared to some of the others. I like your paint application.

It's really awesome.

I like the handle thing at the back and the idea of using fusible is really nice

Actually I was going to ask you if you wanted to stop by my class on that day? You can go with me and I can introduce you to the awesome teacher we have! Plus I have lots of animations to do and he is staying over on that day to help us with things! So I think we should have the art jam there! It would be good cuz they have big easels and what not as well as light boxes as well. So think about it and text me or let me know
