Project One - Handheld Salmon Cannon
When designing this gun I was inspired by the real life Salmon Cannons that help fish get over dams to their spawning grounds. My idea was to take what in real life are plain, long, white tubes suspended overhead and turn it into something eye catching and handheld that could be wielded by an individual. The end result was a minigun with glass sides made to marry what make miniguns and fish tanks not only functional but eye catching.
