Desert Punk Omake 6.5

Desert Punk, Extras, Volume 1


<00>
A Word from the Author

The desert is a re—ally tough place.
It's pretty much a living hell.
It's super hot during the day,
And freezing cold at night.
The people who live there have it re—al hard,
They've got to worry about their survival each and every day.
But actually, humans aren't the only ones who have it tough.
The desert is also a harsh environment for guns.
Little bits of sand seep in all over the place,
And oil hardens during the day,
Only to soften at night,
Creating a big temperature gap that damages the metal.
Which means they could explode into bits at any time.
*sigh—*
If I were a gun,
I'd be like, "Man, this place sucks."

Desert Punk: Gun Collection

Desert Punk's tale is set in the future, much later than the present (1997). Therefore, the firearms you see here aren't leftovers from the present. They were handmade by craftsmen of Desert Punk's era, based on their research and the materials they excavated from the Dark Ages (late 20th~21th century). So they actually don't work quite as well. They're pretty close though. All of the data below is approximate.
