Weapons

For initial research i decided to look into weapons that were present during the time period that we are spanning. Although i kept in mind that this is our own world i tried to keep the weapons mainly between 1910 to the end of the second world war mainly due to the idea of the construction of the mechs.

One thing that was instantly established is that a lot of the guns that i researched are small arms if you called tanks big arms so the use of a Walter P.30 on a mech is just a silly idea but with the research as well as my own personal knowledge of weapons i was able to think of using certain segments of weapons since it is our designed world.

With the research i found that certain regions have certain appearances if you compare guns such as Russian fire arms and  American fire arms you can see differences in the barrels which can be used in designing the guns on the mech.

With all this we decided to go to the royal armouries which led to me and Andy working out the design of an american minigun and how it was put together. The research we did here influenced one of the mechs to have a opening for the casings to fall out of due to the aesthetic as well as what would be the realistic threat of gun casings inside the mech.

I kept in the loop with concept art mainly due to the knowledge of guns which i could disperse.
