As much as I love the dirge theme, i was disappointed when he stopped using that. Man that was cool.

Justin (justinbienvenue) | 345 comments Thanks for the info Phillip. I looked into it myself and it said the blade didn't fire but rather added more damage when the trigger was pressed so it was sort of Like a surge.

On a realistic note I came across similar weapons called pistol swords. They have changed over the years but basically it differs from a bayonet because the pistol is before the blade. They weren't very efficient so they were usually replaced in battle.

M.A. Robbins (mikerobbinsauthor) I'm glad I found this thread. I was wondering if my novel, The Tilt, would be considered a Weird Western. It's being published in ebook and paperback on Amazon on Dec 15th. Here's the description:

No one is innocent.

After a man-made cataclysm called The Tilt kills Jon Streg’s wife and daughter, he becomes a hard-drinking Judge – a combination lawman and executioner – in the Free Nation of Alaska. When he learns that a group of Californians intend to resurrect the failed experiment that caused The Tilt, he hungers for revenge. Forced to band with a rival lawman from an enemy nation-state, he battles foreign mercenaries to track down the madmen before they finish the world for good.

Gritty and action-packed, The Tilt will take you on a thrilling ride through a post-apocalyptic landscape and one man’s quest for retribution and redemption.

Cameron Straughan (kadath_press) | 7 comments In the spirit of films like El Topo, The Great Silence, Once Upon a Time in the West, and Dracula, I have created my own weird western here:

This serial novel is the only official record of the controversial lost film "C'era una volta in Transilvania" (AKA: Once Upon a Time in Transylvania).

It blends together my love of spaghetti westerns, surrealism, horror films and environmental themes.

Hope it's weird enough for you!

Cheerio,
Cameron
