The "I'm going to reduce this gun down to simple forms, oops when too far" variety. Very common in comics.

In this particular model you can see it's firing caseless ammunition loaded using hopes and dreams rather than clunky magazines. The sights were removed to reduce weight but sadly the inability to precisely aim makes it difficult for him to hit anything. For stability one just has to make an angry fist somewhere under the barrel and it will sort out the rest. However the decision to put the handle and trigger on the stock, while a bold one, isn't helping in that department. The large flash suppressor goes the extra mile and creates a flash, I'm guessing with the goal of blinding and surprising enemies.

The fact that there are three of them I assume is to show motion, but I would like to believe that because it's so difficult to hit anything with this gun Frank has to use three of them.

/k/ saves the day again.

A Scary McShootbang, obviously.

We haven't had a good /k/ crossover thread in a while, though. Remember the guy shoulder-firing an MP5?

>>1002758

No, and being gun-dumb I don't know what's wrong with shoulder-firing an MP5. Maybe I don't know the proper definition of shoulder-firing.

>You can tell it's a gun in motion.

I can tell they attempted to draw a gun but that's as far as it goes.

the motion part doesn't really even work when the man holding it isn't in motion at all

Comics in a nutshell

>>1002807

It works for the cover's intended purpose. Frank firing multiple shots looks more dynamic than him firing once.

>>1002842

It looks like three guns more than motion because; 1: The motion is not conveyed very well. 2: All the depictions of the gun look solid. 3: No indication of movement from the body, not even lines.

It looks like Frank is firing a three in one gun with one hand directly under all three stocks and the other holding the fore grip on the one most to his right.

Were the other two guys planning to get gunned down as well?

>>1003246

Maybe The Riddler is just a really bad shot.

>>1003246

Maybe he killed everyone in that room to get rid of witnesses?

>they wanted dogs to jump out of the cake

>they're actually a club that has sex with dogs

I remember many old artists mentioning GIS being a godsend as it used to involve having many expensive books on standby or many a trip to the library for references. Even Rare staff mentioning having difficulty procuring good material for what they didn't have on physical media at the office as late as 2000. This isn't even factoring pros like Alex Toth giving a dressing down for an artist doing a Johnny Quest tie-in comic how his depictions of Egypt are so rote on top of other issues that many young casual readers wouldn't notice.

They came back, to check for damage.

Why would you build knife-bullets that flip out from the side? That's just gonna throw the projectile off target while in flight. Making the knife be pushed straight out would be better. But at that point, why not just make it shoot normal bullets? Or make it a nailgun, that works too.
