In this challenge, you will be tasked to build a weapon of your own design.
Just a brief introduction in case you haven't seen me in this site...
My account is mainly composed of a collection of weapons and gizmos sub-assemblies. I started this challenge to see how other users work with weapons. So there you go.
FIRST Place:
15 upvotes = 225 points
SECOND Place:
10 upvotes = 150 points
THIRD Place:
5 upvotes = 75 points
ALL Entries:
1 upvote = 15 points
RULES:
- It must be a successor of this post
- Weapons must be intended to be used as a sub-assembly. (specify main attachment point)
- Weapons must be in a 1:1 scale (must be mountable on a relatively scaled aircraft or vehicle)
- Part count must not exceed to 100 parts
- You may use all types of weapon (bombs, guns, missiles, torpedoes, rockets, countermeasaures)
- No external mods which requires to download the mod.
- XML modding is allowed. (I will be considerate to IOS users though it is suggested to search or request for modded parts on the site)
- Replicas are not encouraged though it is allowed (make something original)
- You can enter as many weapons as you can.
- Weapons are not necessarily based on damage. (Some may be designed for defensive purposes)
Failure to comply with the rules will get a 5% deduction
CRITERIA:
Functionality 40%
Weapons must work in its intended function.
Design 30%
Be smart in the use of parts to maximize design and minimize part counts.
Originality 20%
As I said replicas are not encouraged though it is allowed. Be creative, generally I would like to see something original.
Description 10%
I will be mainly checking the following:
Instructions: steps in how to use it (be detailed in providing instructions)
Features: What does the weapon do (provide in-game pictures if possible)
Story: A background of the weapon (Optional)
For a total of 100%
INSTRUCTIONS:
(Here are some instructions once you've downloaded this post)
- To start building drag and remove the large blue block. There you will be left with a single cockpit.
- Once you finished building, state the main attachment point so I can easily save it as a sub assembly. (Tip: you may want to detach the weapon to the cockpit so it can be easily selected)
- Have fun in building :)!
Deadline:
October 1
Here are some of my weapons for basis. Check my account for more...
Goodluck!

@GylbarD Thanks
brainy idea!!!!
@TitanIncorporated click the "successors"
@EliteArsenals24 same for me, as I have several weapons in mind but only have the basics done for each of them, and still have to put a case on each one, as they look hideous in their current state.
@JohnnyBoythePilot Tag me :)
@EliteArsenals24
The challenge wasn't a total waste for me, as it motivated me to complete my radical UCAV concept instead of cancelling the project altogether. I'm about to release a major teaser of the new system.
@JohnnyBoythePilot I would accept it since where on a different timeline. Anyways thanks for offering an entry. I would still like to see it when it's done.
@EliteArsenals24
Ok I've decided to opt-out of the challenge. The weapon system I'm creating will be freaking insane and truly unique once fully finished and any bugs are fully fleshed out. I'd rather finish it as a top-quality complete build than to rush it just to make a challenge deadline. So yea, I'm out of the challenge I guess.
@EliteArsenals24
Either way I'm nearing completion with my system, when I submit mine can you please still accept it?
I don't have much left to do on it.
@EliteArsenals24
Wait I think we're on different times.... It's still Oct. 30 on my end.
@EliteArsenals24
WAIT TODAY??? It says October 1.
@JohnnyBoythePilot yup deadline is today
Hey just a heads up my weapon system I'm working on will be done on Monday, right on the deadline.
I'll probably do a mix, but thanks. Didn't see the "countermeasures." @EliteArsenals24
@AircraftoftheRedStar Yes. As rule number 5 states...
I'm thinking of making a large-caliber aircraft cannon. Something like 100mm. Unfortunately I run iOS so having it shoot bombs won't work. Does launching flares at a very high force count?
@EliteArsenals24 yeah, though I could post both, plus I still need to figure out the paint.
@CK10 that is actually a nice idea. The cloaking device is kind of a gizmo rather than a weapon.
@EliteArsenals24 I was thinking of doing a cloaking device, but I already have a missile box, all I would have to do would be to put it in a launcher or something and then I would just have to find the XML file so I could copy the missile about 20 times. (the missile is on a detacher so they would all launch at the same time when I copy it)
@EliteArsenals24 ok
@Minecraftpoweer Deadline is in October 1. There I will post the results
@CK10 Hmm. What kind though? If it would do damage or look like a weapon I might consider.
results?
I have one in mind, but I don't know if it would qualify.
@EliteArsenals24 Is it okay if I make a gizmo instead of a weapon?
