Just wanted to say "SPANK YOU!!" to Torley Linden, she truly is a great and helpful gal :) Thanks for surprising the heck out of me when you was wandering around Abaddon, was a nice little interlude for me to have a chat.
I have to say thank you for being you and taking so much of your time to compliment and chat with the content creators within Second Life, you're an asset to Linden Labs chuck ^_^

Thanks again!
Taking into inspiration the designs of the Desert Eagle and also the Colt King Cobra, I decided to make somewhat of a hybrid between them both creating what is called the 'Black Mamba .44/.45 King Magnum Pistol.
Combining the two most powerful handguns on the planet, all under one roof.
Still under the development stage as like the pistol below, I really don't want to have to settle for run-of-the-mill scripting. The look and feel to the gun will be lost if shabby coding is involved, so I'm going to have to stand back for a while as to not destroy the slick, dark revolver.
Again, as you can see from the right, texture mapping in a more complex way has been deployed on the Black Mamba, using two maps to give it, its high definition and quality. Making the textures from scratch and adding the rough look to the metal, making the sci-fi themed gun more realistic than the
Military Pistol.

Overall, I think this project went very well, on the building side... building time took a day in all, with illustrating and applying the maps taking a day also. Not bad for two days work :P
On the design side, more than likely people will be interested in this new genre of pistol, most the weaponry in Second Life is based or a replica of the real thing, with that market nearing saturation, I'm hoping to unlock a new area of projectile weapons that will appease both the real world enthusiast and also the sci-fi fans with this piece.
I hope people do enjoy it as much as I've had fun building it when it is finally released, in the mean time I'll be searching for certain someone to create the coding thats needed to bring the Black Mamba alive and hopefully a few more of the pistols/automatic/heavy weapons I'll be doing in the near future.
