Chauss513 then swoops in and loads up the Ford513, returns to his lair and pumps out curiosities fueled on nothing more than Guinness, cigarettes and Swedish Fish.

I agree the second one looks like Mel's sidearm from FIREFLY. The whole point of the buy backs is to destroy the guns, sad sign of the times. I like that the parts aren't just torched or welded.

Now only if it was not inoperable.......=( I have to agree with the other sentiments. Seeing all these poor firearms being destroyed is most depressing. I really like the second one.

I particularly like Triplex Cobalt Mass Desocializer. Don't take this to be negative AT ALL toward the artist but seeing parts from some of my favorites in there feels like spotting a dead kitten on the sidewalk. As a guy who cleans and oils his arsenal religiously and stores everything in hardware-friendly conditions, it's kind of sad to see them that way. -D Cool work.
