THEY'RE FINALLY DONE!!! REJOICE!!! 


 * Name: Hellshire
 * Wielder: Rosie Ashburn
 * Maker/Smith: Rosie Ashburn
 * Classification: Semi Automatic Sawed Shotguns (SASS) (lol)
 * Weapon Derivation: Twin sawed-off shotguns / bone saw
 * Design: Here's some helper images. The weapon is a literal physical combination between a modern sawed-off shotgun with a diagonal handle, and a standard surgical bone saw. The weapon's handle, trigger, and enlarged guard are all gray-silver in color, with the exception of the comfort grips at the front and back on the handle, which are both black. The receiver and the area around the ejection port are also gray-silver, with her symbol engraved in pink on the outside of each of the receivers (the left side of the receiver for her left-handed shotgun, and the right side of the receiver for her right-handed shotgun). The loading port, magazine container, barrel, and the panel portion of the saw are all black, while the saw teeth at the bottom of the retracting panel are silver. The shells, being fueled by Fire Dust, are red.
 * Holstered/Inactive Form: The saw teeth and panel are kept retracted when the weapon is inactive, and the safety is flicked on. Other than that, the weapons are largely static. Both guns are stored in specially-shaped holsters at the back of her waist.

Both guns feature a semi-automatic firing mode, and utilize Fire Dust-fueled shells that leave small visible trails of flame in their wake when shot (imitating tracer ammunition). By default, the shots exit in a tightly-packed buckshot load, which are extremely damaging and have high stopping power at close range, and spread out over distance (increasing overall accuracy to a certain point, though with reduced damage due to the fewer number of rounds making contact). Holding the trigger for a few moments before releasing it, however, turns the round into a single larger slug load (in the appearance of a small fireball due to the Fire Dust), which has higher stopping power at more consistent range than the buckshot, but is overall slower to travel, easier to avoid, and is dangerous to use at point-blank.

Each gun has a panel attached below the magazine container, which form the upper half of the saw panel. The bottom half, and the attached saw teeth, unfold/extend downward once the saw function is activated. There is a small motor within the panel that causes the saw teeth to vibrate, for additional cutting power when hacking through targets.

 * <p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;line-height:1.38;"><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(183,183,183);">Usage: Both guns are wielded in akimbo fashion, and Rosie often alternates shooting between left and right when focusing on a singular target. However, she's accustomed to using to fight multiple enemies at once, and is capable of shooting in any set of different directions. One of her preferred methods for eliminating a large number of surrounding enemies at once is spinning in a blur of motion, using the shotguns' recoil to assist with the rotaion, and emyting her magazines at breakneck speed, creating a veritable storm of buckshot rounds in every direction around her (though allies should be sure to steer clear of this maneuver). With the saws, the wields them in standard format for such weapons, hacking through enemies rather than using the slash and stab styles of swords, while targeting limbs specifically to dismember targets.
 * <span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(183,183,183);">Notes: The name is derived from 'hell' (specifically the second disctionary definition, "A situation, experience or place of great suffering"), and 'shire', a traditional term used in reference to divisions of land regarded as counties or strongholds, especially in England. It's also a play on "Hellfire", which as the name suggests, refers to the magical flames of torment that exist in Hell.
