Gauss guns, aka coilguns, are a projectile based weapon most commonly found in science-fiction but which can be built with today’s technology. They work by using electromagnets to propel solid slugs at a high velocity. This gauss gun, with a full auto feature, was developed by Delta V Engineering. Delta V is about making sci-fi […]
Review of Pacific Rim: Man, Machines & Monsters
What a fantastic book. This 156-paged collection of colour oozes Pacific Rim wonder. The title is perfect; “Man, Machines & Monsters”.

Fantasy dark knight concept art
This illustration is by the deviant artist Sakimichan. It’s a blend of fantasy and sci-fi in feel and shows a dark knight in action. The swords look long enough to be rapiers but too wide and the helm almost seems biological in places.
