I'm a metalworker. Magnets are a terrible idea for anything requiring tight tolerances, not to mention reciprocating actions. I dont want my pistol to attract the iron filings that are ubiquitous in the real world. The triangular barrel is a freaking amazing idea. I won't knock the work that he put into this, but I've noticed that people using magnets as a solution to something generally overlook the way they accumulate ferrous particles to them.

What's the difference between this and the shadow 2?" And the guy goes "first of all, the looks of the gun" lol 🤡 And from there, this guy starts talking about a complicated solution for a problem that doesn't exist (shadow 2 accuracy) and putting magnets on everything.

Honestly, this feels like the gun equivalent of a concept car. Like, it's beautiful and weird in all the ways that grab attention, with a price tag that means it will be unprofitable as a product in of itself, but the ideas that are put forward in this gun (and most likely patented) like the triangularly locking barrel and the magnetically adjustable trigger are the real reason this exists and I could see this designer making it big by either incorporating them into a more economical/more mass producable package, or more likely by licensing out the feature set to other companies looking to make a handgun with these features

@BigBear-- Ай бұрын

@@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017 To be honest there probably isn't much to it of you're talking about a high quality made circular barrel vs a triangular barrel. But in theory with a triangular barrel there might be some very slight advantages depending on how it's manufactured. In theory it could be a stiffer design if the thinnest wall thickness is comparable to a round barrel, which means that the rest of the edges are thicker, and a triangle is a very strong design, so it'll make a stiffer barrel as far as barrel harmonics. It might also allow for a more perfect bore cut during manufacturing. Finally depending on the action design, it might make for better slide to barrel fit, and more precise action. These are all just the "in theory" ideas of why it might be better. Though honestly with moden manufacturing techniques, it's hard to imagine there being any serious improvement or difference made in performance. At the end of the day it's not super difficult to design really accurate firearms, that are far more accurate than any human shooter. Most firearms are more than accurate enough, and more accurate than the user. The rest is more about feel and form... At the end of the day guns like these are not about function, but about exclusivity and form. To be an excuse for someone with extra money to buy something cool and exclusive. That gun won't do anything that a $1000-2000 CZ Shadow 2 won't do the same, or do better. Or that a custom gunsmith can't do for you for $10-25K.

The triangle locking barrel is pretty awesome and to get that kind of machine work properly done it's going to have a pretty hefty price tag. If I had the money I would definitely buy one over something like a Laugo Alien or similar priced Gucci gun. This at least stands out both mechanically and aesthetically.

This dude has the golden ratio and magnets built into his Heavenly Handgun from Olympus™️. This is at least an epic quality loot from from the next Cyberpunk DLC.

I really dig the aesthetics. Wonder how all those magnets will hold up after a series of extended firing sessions. Then again, it's a designer piece for collectors amd clearly not meant to be used extensively.

I could see that red dot going out of alignment with the force of repeated firing requiring you to zero in the sight more often due to the design. To me it looks like it needs another arm facing forwards as well (still fixed on side of course) to make it more secure/stable. Not too sure about the magnets either. Love the concept of fixed red dots with free moving slide though and the gun looks pretty out there!

As much as we're ragging on it for its price and aspiriations, the Elysien is still a far better piece of art than most stuff in art galleries.

@redeye8526 3 ай бұрын

the optic mount is pretty clever . surprising it hasnt been done on other competition guns. alot more aestetic than the giant pic rail or bolt on the the side frame attachments CZ and 2011s use to have a stationary optic .But 10k is crazy. You can buy a Laugo Alien, CZ Shadow 2 and a Staccato for that much !

@sauerkraud 3 ай бұрын

its a super bad idea because its not rigid and will flex pretty much. Shockwaves travel threw the entire material, and just seeing the G forces with the mass of the optic, I know its constructed to weak to sustain longer periods of time. Its only aesthetically pleasing, not mechanically. Go check out slomos of AKs and Raceguns with side mounted rails. Even a junk of metal connected with 4 screws will flex. So, the least you need is an even bigger junk of metal that is connected on both sides of the receiver and not allow for any off angled momentum.

So it's basically nothing more than an overpriced version of the Shadow 2 with no innovations like the Alien. What a cheap attempt to rip off people, this company won't be around for long.

sure but you have to admit it is pretty good looking and this probably is the first step of his company.

@dennissorensen8765 2 ай бұрын

Haha! That statement might be more accurate than the gun. 😅 It's built on a platform, that isn't even near the top tier. Shadow 2 is a fair, accessible sports pistol. Nothing there. Very popular. But you don't get anywhere near the accuracy of a factory SIG P210, easily giving you the same spread at twice the distance. At least in my experience. The SIG is quite expensive, yes ... but at a third of the price of this Elysian, being among the most precise pieces of mechanical work ever made in the realm of handguns, I would rather have two of those and have them fitted specifically to me by the factory, or even reworked into taking 2011-mags, just to go overkill in customization. 😅🙈

The barrel is a very interesting concept. Having it ride a rail on the top of the slide basically. So when the slide goes back to battery, Theoreticly it should be smoother and faster than slapping into a free floating tube barrel, aligning it and then locking into battery.

This is a gun that believes that form and function can't be compromised. Following an aesthetic form and making it work with some innovation. Ultimately a beautiful gun and hopefully this concept will fall down into the lower-priced market. I really like the hopeful rise of beautiful artistic guns.
