Perhaps.  The vehicles, for example, didn't look strange.  Then again, to a car person, they may be.

Those just look awesome.  I've always wanted to create a rigger character with a bow, just so I could have  a mongol-style horsemonobike archer.

Illustrators aren't vehicle engineers either.   :P  They're illustrators.

I'm not bashing them, BTW.  It's just that sometimes "Rule of Cool" doesn't work for everyone.  A gun nut will see what's wrong with a firearm, a car nut will see what's wrong with a vehicle.

A Trainspotter...  Oh man, I'm not even going to deal with those crazy buggers!

It's cringe-worthy to look at some of the illustrations of any tech in the SR books.  Though some kids grow up looking at that stuff now and want to make it when they get older... as has been the trend in the past.  I think the oddest weapons I've seen IRL are auto revolvers (where the Bladerunner gun took inspiration), but there's a whole slew of futuristic looking weapons that are out or in development.

Pistols (I tried to keep all the links to the same site)
S&W 629 V-Comp, OTs-38 silent revolver, Mateba Model 6 (auto revolver), Mateba MTR-8 (auto revolver), Armi Chiappa "Rhino", Dan Wesson PPC, Walther SSP, Beretta U22 NEOS, FN Five-Seven (The P90 sidearm)
SMGs
Calico M960, FN P90, Beretta Cx4 Storm, TDI Kriss Super V
Rifles
FN F2000, Kel-tec RFB, Groza OC-14, DSR-precision DSR 1, HK G36, XM8
Shotguns
SRM Arms High-Capacity Model 1216 Rotary-Mag, Neostead, MAG-7, Pancor Jackhammer
And lastly
Anything Metalstorm, the prequel to Yamaha Sakura Fubuki, produces (shotguns, GL, support weapons)

By no means are these the best weapons out there, but they have that futuristic feel.

On my campaign, we had (no longer with us due to parenting) an Ork bounty hunter specialized on hunting metas who went by the name of Günther.

Günther's signature weapon was a 12P -6AP Panther XXL modded with trigger removal, high-power chambering, foregrip, underbarrel bola launcher and overmodded for manual easy breakdown.

He rolled 5 Agi + 6 Heavy Weapons.

And the best part was what was written on his signature tee: Günther the Hunter with a Panther.

He was frequently awarded extra Karma.

Lorane:
Yamaha Pulsar
Chamelion Coating
Smart gun
Personalized Grip
Gecko Grip
skin Link

-4 to conceal +2 for smartgun 1 RC  6s(e) 4 mag SA
This was the go to gun for my adept face for a long time. The chamelion coat made it almost invisible and the gecko grip means I could stick the pulsar anyware. With it all skin linked there was no wireless signals coming for the pulsar.
mean little customer for those meets where guns are not allowed.

Wouldn't Günther be better named Jäger?   :P

Sorry, it's not often I get to use some German I know.

He did like to be called "The Günthermaister." He even thought of getting Custom Look and get it engraved on the Panther, but gave up.

The Kel-Tec KSG is a nifty new pump shotgun that has a 14-shell capacity without violating any state high-capacity weapon laws.

It does this because it's got two 7-shell magazine tubes instead of the standard single tube. You have to manually flip a selector switch to change which tube you're feeding from, so it's considered a 7-shot capacity weapon as far as the law is concerned. Besides just having extra ammo at the ready, you can have two types of ammo loaded and just flip the switch to select between them.

It looks nifty too, and is a perfect example of the Secondary Clip weapon modification.

Ya it's a pretty cool weapon and I'm hoping to convince the wifey that we need one... It probably won't happen, but I can always dream (maybe if it comes in .410?!). It still violates a few states high capacity laws (some states will consider it a high capacity semi-auto assault weapon with all the crazy restrictions they can invent).  It's basically the Neostead in a more traditional configuration, which is still not in the US, dumb bureaucracy.
