This is the 3D Model for the weapon

- Name: Gunnabatan

- Wielder:Ghrian Thistle

- Maker/Smith:Ghiran Thistle

- Classification: Holy Water Sprinkler Rifle (HWSR)

- Weapon Derivation: Holy Water Sprinkler, Staff, Anti-Tank Rifle

- Inactive Form: When the weapon is not on use, the telescoped handle shortens considerably and it is stored at the user's side. The spikes also retract.

- Form 1 Design:The first form takes the form of a Holy Water Sprinkler but it has several differences. The first is the handle is extended so that’s it’s more of a staff based weapon than a mace based weapon. The second is that instead of three pistols barrels and it being fired by a fuse. Instead if ultises custom made fire dust shells and there is only one barrel instead of the three. It does have the blade at the end though.

- Form 1 Aesthetics: It uses mostly lightish colours with a mix of yellow,beige and light orange though it does have some blake in there. The patterns on the top and the bottom of the handle are based criss/cross patterns that were inspired by tartan clothing as well as the Scottish flag - that being a diagonal cross. The yellow/beige boxes are also there in the middle.

- Form 2: In terms of overall design and concept. The rifle form is extremely similar to the first form expect there are a few changes. The first is that in the first form - the user would hold the weapon vertically while in the second form the user holds the weapon horizontally. The second change is that the tripod that was on the bad of the weapon comes out - which gives it extra stability. The final change is that the barrel extends allowing to act more like a rifle. In terms of overall design and purpose - it’s more built similar to an anti-tank rifle than a straight up sniper rifle.

- Form 2 Aesthetics:  The Aesthetics are relatively the same as the previous form,expect with the extended barrel, the position of the weapon as well as the extended barrel.

- Dust Usage: The weapon uses custom created dust ammunation that utilizes fire dust allowing the user to fire - fiery shots from the weapon as well as using recoil to enhance the weapon’s melee capabilities like Ember Celica. l)

- Usage:

Holy Water Sprinkler Mode: In it’s melee mode - it takes the form of a staff,large club type weapon. The user holds it two handed and while it’s not a terribly fast weapon without using recoil - the uses focuses on powerful swings to bash the enemy grimm with the top section or using the spikes sections of the weapon (which can be retracted if the user so chooses to) to stab into the enemy Grimm). The user can press the trigger on the side of the weapon and uses the blast as recoil to allow the user to swing much faster than what he would normally do to make up for the weapon’s slow swing speed (every time he does this - one of the custom made shells is used up). At the weapon’s end there is also a blade which means he can also use this as a semi-spear in that he can thrust forward with this weapon and impale the enemy grimm before pressing the trigger and firing a powerful blast. He can use the weapon’s ranged attack in melee mode but he doesn’t do it often if at all because it causes great strain on his arms and is often very inaccurate in terms of hitting enemy Grimm. Overall - this mode employs a mid range fighting style that uses slow but powerful swings - hitting the enemy with Great Force - using recoil to make it go faster  or finishing them off with a thrust attack

Anti-Tank Rifle Mode - In it’s ranged mode, the user holds it horizontally and fires it very similarly - due to the power of the custom made fire dust shells, in order to not put strain on his body he uses this mode with a tripod which allows him to place the rifle down into a solid surface and fire it without having to worry about it damaging his arms. The user is able to spot enemies from a fair distance away thanks to his mechanical eye and than fire a powerful blast able to significantly damage armored Grimm and kill certain,weaker Grimm in one shot. After he fires a shot from this mode using the trigger,he uses the side handle and pulls it back to release the used up customized shell. Overall this is not the preferred mode in a 1 to 1 fight as the user needs to find a stable area in order to sit the rifle down and fire it but it can be very effective at taking out Airbourne Grimm and Grimm that haven’t spot you yet.

- Planned/Possible Upgrades: The user wants to use different types of dust shells like ice,electricity.

- Notes: Gunnabatan is the combination of the Scottish Gaelic for Gun and Baton. Ghiran is the Scottish Gaelic Word for Sun and Thistle is the iconic Scottish Flower.
