This is part of brainstorming that came out yesterday's sketches including the Little Pip image. 

One of the main characters in the first story is Calamity who wears a rather uncommon weapon a battle saddle which is described as having two rifles mounted on either side of the pegasus. Beyond that I have not found too much physical description of setup.

This is not my final take on the idea; it is just me initially wanting to playing around with concept a bit. I may do more with it later.

Good rendition. Functional. Allows flight without too much weight. I was thinking of a gravity feed on the ammo rather than rifle mags. A magazine feeding system on the top of the saddle about where the saddle would be.

That's pretty spot on. Clips were top mounted, bullets were spring feed while grenades and missiles were gravity feed. Calamity had built a custom reload into his, since he went solo mostly until teaming up with Pip and Velvet Remedy. Baron, i like your take on the trigger system. The origianl is a bit that fires by the user pulling the trigger with their tongue. Rather awkward... pistols are the same for non unicorns, hold the grip in your mouth and fire with tongue. The grip was also set 90 degrees off from normal.

I did go back and yes you're right about the magazine position. The authors never covered how he reloaded just he had a custom built. I don't see how practically. Top feeding magazines must be manually removed. A spring to eject the mag would only force the mag up leading to miss feeds. A manual ejection mechanism is possible but mags are something you want to keep around and not drop from 500 feet. Just saying:-)

I was envisioning a slide back and lock down arrangement for the magazines, but you wouldn't be doing fast tactical reloads with this system. Fortunately it is suppose to be a long range sharpshooter set up. Althought that begs to ask how he aims it?

Sorry if I'm spammy here. FO:E is a very well written story, imo, and I've read it three times so far, including Somber's extra chapter that Kkat approved between Pip and Homage. So I get overly excited. Especially since your weapons concept designs makes a bit more sense. I don't fault Kkat for not researching more into the weapons, she was basically taking what was in Fall Out 3 and ponified it. She was more interested in the story than the mechanics. (going to hush up now)

Tech design wasn't point when she set out to write FO:E she wanted to focus on character and world design which was for the best. Play to your strengths; in fact I think it was smart that she was deliberately vague about some of tech design since it wasn't her strong suit.
