Small parts and accessories have long been made from exotic and uncommon materials, but never before has an entire modern weapon been crafted from such a coveted medium. Even that we couldn’t settle for; so we built two, a matched left and right – serial numbers individualized to reflect the geographic earthly coordinates where the Gibeon meteor came to rest on our planet. The pistols are fully-functional – and resultant of their National Match barrels, accurate; verified both on the rest and in off-hand shooting. Leaving nothing to chance in terms of functionality, our engineers used electron beam technology to meticulously add bimetal support only to the frame/slide rails, hammer, guide rod and extractor of the Big Bang set. – and the pistol’s components, down to the barrel bushing and trigger – are 100% Gibeon meteorite.[/quote] [quote=http://www.ammoland.com/2016/05/4-5-million-dollar-cabot-guns-meteorite-pistols/#ixzz49c50OROT ]What is price for perfection? “We’re listing them at $4,500,000,” Bianchin says, “which is the current record for the most expensive firearms ever sold. Worth every penny.”[/quote]
Wow! That's annoying they could of created new unique firearm designs for theses items.
For that price better come with meteorite bullets too.
[QUOTE=Sims_doc;50385464]Wow! That's annoying they could of created new unique firearm designs for theses items.[/QUOTE] They used a tried and true classic, so I see nothing wrong with it.
ooooooo pretty. Someone buy me one and somehow get it into the UK
these are the only weapons on our mortal world that can slay demons
Would be a little nicer if there wasn't giant chunks missing out of the handle IMO, that'll make it incredibly uncomfortable to hold/shoot. The fact they call it perfection too, with those giant gnashes in it, is pretty funny.
i hate the trigger lol
[QUOTE=V1ro;50385563]these are the only weapons on our mortal world that can slay demons[/QUOTE] Doom guy should have them.
and their stupid logo ugly-ing the gun
[QUOTE=V1ro;50385563]these are the only weapons on our mortal world that can slay demons[/QUOTE] nah dude this is how you slay aliens [QUOTE=MenteR;50385573]and their stupid logo ugly-ing the gun[/quote] idk the logos fine but i get the trigger hate tho
wasn't aware meteorites were that rare
The grips alone probably add a pound and a half to each gun. Probably heavy as hell.
This is so stupid and a waste of money. Meteorite bullets slay the paranormal, a meteorite gun can't even hurt a werewolf unless your plan is to pistol whip it to death. 0/10 would not fight enemies of the church with
Could have used a different design but with that much money on the table, making a unique 1911 is a safe bet I'd have said do a revolver personally but then again meteoric iron probably doesn't make for a good cylinder
[QUOTE=Megadave;50385506]For that price better come with meteorite bullets too.[/QUOTE] Blessed silver refined from meteorites.
[QUOTE=ROFLBURGER;50385634]wasn't aware meteorites were that rare[/QUOTE] just ones big enough to make a gun out of

There's a reason why a quality revolver that can match a quality 1911 will be about double or triple the price of the 1911. People forget that revolvers are sort of like watches in the way everything has to fit in order to properly function. Any semi auto can have a good deal of play and still work by comparison. If you ever play World of guns and disassemble a 1911, then either a S&W or Colt revolver, the amount of precise machining needed becomes aperant. A 1911 is stupidly simple to assemble and maufacture compared to revolvers.
Looks like something you'd find on the fallout nexus

[QUOTE=soliv;50385571]Doom guy should have them.[/QUOTE] Even if they vaporized deamons in a single shot, I don't think Doomguy would settle for something so stupid-looking. Getting the job done is one thing, getting the job done in style is another. Meteorite or not, these guns are ugly as sin.
They'll be sealed in a vault for the next 1000 years until they become the first IRL raid drop
Ebony and Ivory.
[QUOTE=Tetsmega;50386019]Ebony and Ivory.[/QUOTE] Nah bro, those guns fire soul bullets.
[QUOTE=MenteR;50385569]i hate the trigger lol[/QUOTE] Yeah the trigger looks stupid. I get why they used STAR patterns and all, but circles look much better
Why did they choose the .45 to make, why not make something more unique, there are 100's of .45 clones, they should have made Lugers.

Now to take them into space and give the meteors a taste of their own medicine.
[QUOTE=Mingebox;50386817]Now to take them into space and give the meteors a taste of their own medicine.[/QUOTE] Should definitely be used as props for Armageddon 2.
[QUOTE=Mingebox;50386817]Now to take them into space and give the meteors a taste of their own medicine.[/QUOTE] Wouldn't that just impregnate the asteroid?
