Jonathan’s badass Steampunk gun actually fires

You guys have truly loved the Steampunk guns we’d collected for you. Now, here’s another opportunity for us all to sit back and enjoy the Victorian craftsmanship by Jonathan Alberico. Dubbed the Black Betty, it’s a fully functional Steampunk gun that the artist has created. The gun may not shoot actual bullets, but the fire balls/rubber balls which it does shoot from it dual barrels aren’t anything less than the bullets themselves. The balls are shot at very high speeds, good enough to penetrate through cardboard. With the Black Betty in the hand I know, no one’s gonna mess with you. Videos of the gun in action after the jump
