the way that trigger is placed on the scabbard, I can only imagine someone pointing and launching the handle of the sword in someone's face.

You can do that OR you can push the trigger and hold the handle, so you can make an boosted slash attack right out of the sheath.

But knocking someone out with a launched handle sounds pretty wild too lul

I mean, it would certainly have the element of surprise, if you don't do it all the time.

haha yeah thats for sure
and if he isn't knocked out, you would have a big problem, cause you basically threw your weapon away

let's hope this thing has plenty of kick and that you can aim from the hip (literally) well x3

Make me think of the manuver gear form attack on Titan.

Really cool design around the katana.

Yeah, you are right, but this design is inspired by metal gear rising (Samuel Rodrigues katana design)
Thank you very much tho :)

hell yeah!
You are totaly right!
I kinda hope they'll make another MGR even tho the Metal gear franchise is kinda dead now

shinkawa is just a god
and yeah metal gear survive looks really...like a fanmade mod or something...
but it still can be fun to play with a friend, cause the foxengine is pretty nice and mgs5 felt great gameplaywise.
and thank you for the compliment :)

I love this. You took the sword-launching quick draw sheath concept and streamlined it beautifully. It's gorgeous.

Thank you very much!
Yeah I thought it needs some kind of mechanic behind it (besides magic)
So now it got this little compressed air capsule to launch it a couple of times untill you need to replace the capsule.
Thought this would be the logical way to approach it :)

From what I observed after many... MANY hours of watching, rewatching, and attempting to reverse engineer it, I've deduced the Murasama uses a gas-driven piston to strike the tsuba and propel the sword out.
MY version simplifies that with a spring, a wooden piston, and a hook/catch mechanism like in your basic nerf gun.
Sheathing the sword pushes a piston back until it hooks onto a catch, compressing a spring behind it. Pulling the trigger moves the catch bar down and allows the piston to travel over and past it, striking the tsuba and ejecting the sword.
I honestly have figured how to make it real, using 99% wood. The otehr 1% is metal, and that would be the spring and two pins the trigger assembly pivots on.
I spent two years figuring this out. I SHOULD KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT
But that aside, I like your idea.

The idea behind this design was, that you can launch it into someones face and breaking the skull.
This mechanism is more like an airpistol than a nerfgun, cause it needs enough power to do so.
It builds up so much pressure inside the scabbard, that it should be possible

I'm seeing some Jetstream Sam influence here

You are very right!
Damn, I made this 7 years ago. How did you even find this? xD

I scrolled through your gallery for a while lol
