Best Non-Goofy Gun Glams?

[LanceSummers]

If anyone has some great Machinist Pistol glams that don't look extremely goofy and look more serious or cool, I'd like to know. I have trouble finding good gun glams because so many look bland or extremely goofy. Glows would be great!

Makai Hand Mortar

Matte Blade's Ingenuity is so good. I only did Bozja to get that weapon.

Makai Hand Cannon is my favorite, because it is absolutely tiny, by far the smallest MCH gun in the game.

+1 For Makai, I use that on my Machinist as well.

Deepshadow is my go-to, it looks so good.

Augemented Cryptlurker's Pistol is one of my favorites, and seems to be based heavily on a C96.



on the glowing side we got..


Amazing Manderville Revolver, the third stage of the EW relic.


Augmented Ekplexis


Ultimate Edenmorn Pistol. Hard to get! The base Edenmorn Pistol is also nice, it's just black with a nice faint glow on the flower patterns.

Cryptlurker to me feels like a good design that doesn't suit how MCH holds the weapon at all, the floating unused stock just makes it look awkward.

Revolver of the Wanderer

Pre-Imperial Garlean Revolver from Great Gubal Library

Agree with these (they're the same model, but different colouring -

the Pre-Imperial Garlean one specifically looks a lot like the pistol Emet used to shoot G'raha in the back in that infamous scene in Shadowbringers incidentally, the colouring is the same at least)

. Also...

Augemented Cryptlurker's Pistol is one of my favorites, and seems to be based heavily on a C96.

Also agree!

Some other suggestions I have:

My current MCH go-to is Quicksilver (the old ARR base tomestone MCH weapon) - although the Weathered Quicksilver is preferable in my opinion as the 'normal' Quicksilver has that silly aetherial glowing effect when the gun is drawn, which the 'weathered' version lacks.

Alas the weathered version is now completely unattainable, luckily though it has some later pallette swaps in the form of the Adamantite-barrelled Culverin, and the High-steel Culverin (both crafted). I admit I like this design because of it looks like a shotgun compared to the mostly flintlock designs for MCH around that level.

Outsider and its variations also I like due to resembling quite closely a Tomlinson machine gun (aka, the famous 'Tommy gun' beloved of gangsters in just about every noir film for the past century).

The Kitseos Revolver from Ktisis Hyperboreia is also a favourite of mine, although the grip looks somewhat odd (but then it is technically an Ancient weapon so...). I still like it's sleek design though.

Ataktos (the level 90 MCH AF weapon) looks like a sub machine gun so if Outsider is too old fashioned for your liking, this might be right up your alley!

These are just my personal preferences though so it's up to you!
