Ward's Folding Shotgun
Added 2025-09-16 19:58:02 +0000 UTCSome study/concept design for an upcoming commission. This is a design for folding semi-auto shotgun for a pegasus pony named Ward. Of course one has to account for how does a character with no hands manipulate various the weapon/device. Still thinking if I want to redesign the charging handle differently.
Note. I have just drawn the character without their regular outfit. The outfit includes a body scabbard to carry the shotgun and shell carriers that carry spare shotgun shells.

Yep I am still deliberating on the charging handle. Now there are some real world examples with similar systems. But they are not optimal. However this is also taking place in a post apocalyptic setting, so product safety is not a high priority.
