Forum:New Legendary Weapon Ideas

One of the things that I love about Borderlands are the pop culture references embedded in the Legendary class weapons. Gearbox has included references from sources as varied as ancient Greek mythology (Hydra shotguns) to Scarface and the Talking Heads (Chiquito Amigo repeaters and Penetrator snipers respectively). It got me wondering about what new kinds of "Pop Legendary" weapons the Borderlands community can come up with....

Below is my first idea for a new "Pop Legendary" weapon:

"It shoots through schools"
This is an homage to Joe Piscapo's character, Danny Vermin, in the 1984 movie Johnny Dangerously, a comic spoof of 1930's crime/gangster movies. In it Danny Vermin pulls a revolver with an absurdly long barrel out of his jacket. His sidekick, Dutch, states that "They made it for him special. It's an .88 Magnum" to which Vermin adds "It shoots through walls." This was a clear spoof on the most powerful (at the time) revolver, the .44 Magnum popularized by the Dirty Harry movies. Vermin later says that his .88 Magnum "...goes through armor. And through the victim, through the wall, through a tree outside..."

The DV88 Magnum Revolver should be a 6-round revolver with no scope and, of course, a REALLY long barrel. Probably a Jakobs in keeping with the old-time theme of the movie. It should have no recoil reduction since a real-life .88 Magnum would kick like a mule. This shouldn't be a problem as it should do enough damage to kill low- to mid-level enemies in one shot. The flavor text should endow the revolver with the ability to shoot bullets that go through the target and damage anything behind it. This through-and-through effect may be triggered by a critical hit, a killing shot, or just by pulling the trigger.

Please contribute
Post your ideas for "Pop Legendary" weapons here. Don't forget to include the origin of the reference, weapon specifications, and the effect, if any, that the flavor text will have. Be specific as I'm hoping the folks at Gearbox pay attention and might include our ideas in upcoming Borderlands material.
