It seems that this is what Kkat had in mind for gun grips.

Message from Kkat:

This is adroable. And that's very much the sort of mouth-bit and trigger design I had in mind. Very nice!

hi hi

Looks good to me, though I suspect that Griffins still used more conventional grips, since they have hands and all. ;)

That would complicate gun mechanics, and I have already stated what they look like in mine so I'm non canon.

How would this complicate it? I'm no expert in this, so I may very well be wrong, but I can't see anything that would complicate it all that much compared to how it's now.

A lot of guns contain trigger mechanisms that require a hand grip or shoulder stock. Such as the AR-15 platform which requires both.

Also in other picture I see that Little Mac has no hand grip which for a revolver is essential because the load spring for the hammer is located inside of it.

hi hi

If you used a push trigger, you could swap the main spring and the trigger mechanism around like so. Perhaps not very elegant, but its only a rough draft anyway.

We for your design there, you would have feed problems with the magazine, and the gun wouldn't be inline with they eye so you can give up all hopes of aiming.

Push trigger was always what I thought would work. "Pulling" with a tongue would be so hard!

As for sighting, Revolvers and hand guns were traditionally fired from the hip anyway. They are a close range weapon. This modern movie bullshit of sighting down the barrel while waving the gun 2 inches from the wnemy's nose is exactly that - bullshit. You may as well just hand the enemy the gun.

Weapon mechanics would soon be worked out. Do you really think that the human hand grip/trigger arrangement was ideal? It wasn't, and still isn't. The dynamics are all wrong. Why do you think weapons rise when you fire them? It's because the force is at a tangent to your grip.

In the world of mouth grips, it would at least be practical to mound the barrel ahead of the grip. instead of off to one side.
