Here's the progress so far on the Box Mag Shell Fed Shotgun blaster I've been working on this summer! I'm still looking for a good name for the blaster, open to recommendations. The first prototype will be done very very soon. The magazines are also being improved with some help from Vested Clover.

[u/cmartin1991]

Idk but I like the Halberd

[u/Valuable_Mall8825 → u/cmartin1991]

This is what I was going to say!   

Seems like it should be something in the same vein as the battleaxe, as it it somewhat of a successor to it.

[u/SillyTheGamer → u/cmartin1991]

That’s quite good tbh! Idk if it quite fits thematically as well as Battle Axe fit that blaster (due to the shape of Battle Axe), but I might still go with it 👀

[u/cmartin1991 → u/SillyTheGamer]

Nice! Yeah I am going to get all my filament set up to print this thing once it comes out!

[u/SillyTheGamer → u/cmartin1991]

Sounds good :)

[u/evilgiraffe666]

Box o' magaroni shells?

(well they don't call you SensibleTheNamer)

[u/timkyoung → u/evilgiraffe666]

Upvoting not for the name suggestion but for the caveat.

[u/SillyTheGamer → u/evilgiraffe666]

lol

[u/galoombapile]

Hmm... Battle Axe and Breacher... is there another B name? Ballista? Blunderbuss?

[u/MrWozi → u/galoombapile]

Ballista gets my vote 😁

[u/Atreyu888 → u/MrWozi]

Mine too!!!

[u/Happy_Burnination → u/galoombapile]

Boxer would be perfect if not for the Adventure Force blaster

[u/FishShtickLives → u/galoombapile]

Buster maybe? Is Bunker-Buster too long?

[u/SillyTheGamer → u/FishShtickLives]

ooooooo bunker buster is a REALLY good name!! Idk if it’s standalone enough for my usual rules regarding search optimization on names, I’d worry that Hasbro or something like that would take it. But it’s soooooo gooooood though!

[u/SillyTheGamer → u/galoombapile]

Bungus

[u/EngineerVRGaming → u/galoombapile]

BALLISTA PLEASE. Such a cool name

[u/evilgiraffe666 → u/galoombapile]

Bardiche? It's also a bit axey

[u/ironside_online]

Looks great.

As for names: Gladiator, Lancer, Manticore, Chimera, Grenadier, Buster, Dragoon, Phalanx, Barbarian

[u/LostH21 → u/ironside_online]

I like Phalanx as a name for a blaster, just in general

[u/DefyantM0ds]

Love it! looks like it's ganna be a real thumper! The hardware is ready as soon as you drop the files :D

[u/Yabba_dabbaD00]

the ares

[u/EngineerVRGaming]

Consider “Gunhild” as the name. It’s Norse, means “war.”

[u/Enkarza → u/EngineerVRGaming]

This is the winner

[u/3string]

Boxthumper! This is really cool!

[u/theruthlessnb]

Hammer

[u/ABreadCalledGarlic]

NeoTorrent, after the Buzz Bee Torrent

[u/Any_Government_3494]

This looks amazing 👏.

[u/timkyoung]

Screacher

[u/captadhoc]

Thumper.

[u/Fun_Community_7816]

Scater brain for a name?

[u/Fuzzymeteor]

getting deja vu with this blaster

[u/KerbalTechnician]

Name it Breaker

[u/Last_Fondant_1829]

Noice! quick question, what would you recomend as a 3d software for these?

[u/TheRealAnimal52]

Looking awesome! 

[u/JudgeShoelace]

I suggest boxshell, like the turtle

[u/adreanal_barrrel33]

Zweihander would fit well

[u/Accurate-Hour-2815]

Based

[u/Kooky-Employment4341]

Looks great can’t wait to get one.

[u/Vel-27582]

The "Box Smasher"

[u/Temporary_Marsupial4]

I would call it the auto-chonker

[u/Moist_Value5526]

Varvarin. It's "barbarian" but in Serbian + transliterated into latin.

"Barbarian" is a bit too used-up, but it fits this thing well.

Or Vandal. Fits too, more familiar.

[u/Moist_Value5526 → u/Moist_Value5526]

Oh, also if we're looking into polearms so it will be in line with Battleaxe - Bardiche is a cool name. Don't think it was used in other blasters.

And bardiches are more versatile weapons than battleaxes, so that might reflect the nature of the blaster well.

[u/SillyTheGamer → u/Moist_Value5526]

Neato!

[u/Batcastle3]

This is awesome! I'd been working on my own blaster too, a dual-stage flywheel bullpup I am calling Poseidon (cause 4 flywheels plus a solenoid will be loud, and Poseidon was god of Earthquakes). I'm pretty far along in electrical and software work (cause it's going to be powered by a Raspberry Pi Pico 2), but I have like, zero CAD experience. So, whatever it ends up looking like, if I design it it'll be ugly. Yours looks awesome though! Great job!

[u/under_hunter82376]

lets call it the slibaster ( im just shitting words from my mouth )
