Army of Two: 40th Day Weapons Contest

My mind was inexplicably drawn to this image
Saw this one over on GamerLimit and couldn’t help but repost.
So when EA Montreal made the original Army of Two, they comissioned a weapons design contest from the fans to include in the game itself. The winning designs, the SAL-86 and the BST-V1 were included as unlockable content with the original game.
Well now that the sequel is coming closer and closer to release, they’ve announced they’ll be running the very same contest this time around two. The challenge? Design EA a weapon that they can include into Army of Two: the 40th Day. The site includes the usual set of rules and regulations: the weapon must be at least feasible to the current era, be able to be implemented into the game and not include any trademark material.
The parameters are kind of wide open, but if the last game’s winners are anything to go by, they’re not going to be looking for tactical innovations like the double-barrel broadsword launcher. Which is a pity, I could see Rios taking to one of those.
Peruse the details. If I could imagine any new weapon that didn’t somehow have a medieval one attached, I’d probably totally enter. Oooh, I know, the Gunblade! Wait a second … curse you Final Fantasy!
