Angry Army Mission: Design A Weapon for a Video Game!
Today, EA Montreal announced the return of the weapon design contest for ARMY OF TWO: THE 40th DAY. From June 23, 2009 to July 12 2009, participants can submit their ultimate weapon at the game’s official website (http://www.armyoftwo.com) for a chance to have it included in the upcoming EA Game.
This is a perfect opportunity for the Angry Army to make their voices heard. Let’s design a weapon together and submit it to the site!
After we chose the Standard Issue Angry Player Weapon we will all sign up at the EA website and vote our design up to give us the best chance at putting our weapon in the hands of the rest of the world! Tell as many people as you can the more people we get to support our mission the better chance we will have to make an impact.
I’ve been impressed every coming day at EA and how they have been integrating with their community more and more.
The official contest rules are here: (http://www.armyoftwo.com/weapondesigner/rules).
Starting on July 20, 2009 the top weapons will be reviewed by the development team who will then pick the two best designs.
If you can draw you can send me an email at angryjoe@angryjoeshow.com, if not don’t worry about it! Just describe your weapon design in the comments and i’ll have our resident Weapons specialist Marobot draw it for you!
Remember it needs to be somewhat realistic and able to fit in well with the theme, look and feel of the Army of Two “world”!
Here’s Last Years Winner:
Looking forward to seeing all the crazy rifles, pistols, rocket launchers, or whatever crazy weapons you guys can think of for our official standard issue “Bad Ass” weapon. Dont forget to name it something awesome! “Like the BA-M17 AA Standard” or “Bad Ass m17 Angry Army Standard”.

Pretty section of content. I just stumbled upon your blog and in accession capital to assert that I get in fact enjoyed account your blog posts. Any way I’ll be subscribing to your feeds and even I achievement you access consistently rapidly.
I never thought blogging could possibly be soo fun and interesting. Man you probably know how to do it brother.
I admit, I have not been on this webpage in a long time… however it was another joy to see It is such an important topic and ignored by so many, even professionals. I thank you to help making people more aware of possible issues.Great stuff as usual.
Large put up we’ve got to unfold the phrase about this website.It’s best to have more interest .
Awesome blog, I think it is great when people express their positions as vehemently as you have. Way to show your school pride! Make us proud!
What are the salaries for helicopter pilots? We have a staff of dedicated, results-oriented teachers and instructors qualified to teach the various specialisations offered. We limit the number of students to 12-15 per class. The primary objective is to make certain that each and every student fully absorbs and understands the subject material.
What did i do wrong? If i broke your blog i’m so sorry, i hope i didn’t ruin anything or i’d feel really bad
I think a M1 Garand scoped disguised as an prosthetic arm would be cool, it would be voice controlled so you would whisper or say or yell what you wanted it to do and it would do it. No straining involved! : )
a weapon that is a auto Assault Rifle with laser sight and a flashlight and silencer and a sidearm with a silencer and torch
a ak-74 like wep with a scope nade launcher with a radar atacment and upgrades 2 sparkaling 3 4 5 and maybe 6 bullets per secon it i know it sucks
if you want a link to my gun..sorry there is no link ; ) i’m still drawing the weapen I hope to finish the thing this weekend and then you can see it. the gun is 100% my design^^
“And the “missile launcher” is simple like a grenade launcher but it fires a small missile”
I would die for seeing how this should work. Ever thought about recoil from a missile launcher? Have fun aiming with that thing ; ) An shooting…^^
can i have a link to your gun idea i’d like to see the awesomeness
I want to draw but I don’t have a camera to record so I’ll describe it’s I call it the M4 Evolution
first there is the m4A1 original
2]a stick where you hold the weapon
3]on the right side is a bayonet-a blade where you can stab people
4]on the left is a built-in flashlight where you can see dark areas
5]an extra magazine on the rifle’s butt on the bottom
6] take away the aiming thing and replace it with a dot scope
hope it helps! *salute*
ok i know this idea is old but think about it. lancer, enough said.
I once designed a cross between a G36, the GOW Lancer and the GRAW MRC. It borrowed heavily from all three so probably not original enough for the contest… yet. Perhaps a built-in periscope (I’ve seen one as a gun mod) could perfect it.
I elect for the RPC (Rocket propelled Chainsaw), more appropriate in zombie games but awesome nonetheless.
btw: the XM8 is cancelled! it will be not used by the US or any military of the world!
The H&K 416 is maybe the new weapen of the US. Maybe! but not the XM8 ; )
that may be so but i didn’t say A XM8 i just said the look, which could happen in a video game universe.
I think this should be in it
Is that an airsoft rifle?
I thought up another idea. Take the long range taser from Syphon Filter and make it an accessory for other weapons. As the enemies are being internally fried, they would shout all sorts of obscenities before catching on fire and collapsing. It could also be used to set off oil spills and gas tanks silently and without wasting any rounds. Has to come with a 30 second charge time, though. You gotta have something to balance it out, after all.
That was my favorite weapon ever in a video game! I used to peg people from so far away with that tazer…
Ok Soldiers!!: XM8 design with either advanced armor piercing rounds or HE rounds, it comes standard with a dual drum 60-100 round mag *but in case of mobility can have a more standard 30-50 round mag*. and the built on scope can be “turned on” and have the standard zooms like 6x or 12x or higher even possibly night vision or thermal if necessary, it has optional attachments: bayonet, laser pointer, missile launcher, mini shotgun, tazer, and flashlight *note customization for the soldier*. And the “missile launcher” is simple like a grenade launcher but it fires a small missile, homing or not is optional. YOU GOT THAT MEN? This weapon WILL be in service from Winter 2009+ in the US military!! DON’T LET ME DOWN SOLDIERS!! DISMISSED!!
ok how about take some of my ideas together with the angry joe battle rifle with explosive tipped rounds and tazer mounted on top witch will be activated by pressing the L or X button thus getting all of angry joes ideas and having amazing explosions when you open fire on some sucker
servus and good evening.
I had to much time in my history class and created this. Hope you like it. Picture is coming soon.

The Gun:
Infantry is and will always be scrwed when they move against armend trooptransporters and secured positions like bunkers and MG positions. Without the help from tanks, helicopters or heavy weapens infantry squads where in a world of shit. So the German gun manufactur Winhart & Son started to design a total new kind of weapen. It should have the weight of an assault rifle but also the power du bust bunkers and fixed positions. Armor penetrating sniper rifles where around since the 1980s but these guns where to heavy. Winhart & Son took the idea from another German weapen: the G36. Synthetic material is the main resource used for the hole gun, only a few parts at the like the barrel, catch and small parts are made out of iron. (in the Version C2, nearly every iron part is replaced by synthetic material).
Fir it purpose, to bust bunkers and armed trooptransporters, the M2010 fires .50 BMG Full Metal Jacket rounds.
Winhart & Son tested the rifle with the Special Forces of the U.S. and Germany and both nations sayed the same: We need more of them. It was now possible for small operation groups to move against bunkers and armed transporters withou support and heavey/large anti-tank weapens. And they also could use the weapen against enemy infantry. High accuracy, high penetrating power and a low weight, the main characteristics of the M2010.
Only the regular infantry claimed that the don’t get use to the small magazins. A new version was released, this time with a smaller cartidge.
Versions:
M2010 A1: The first production run. BMG .50 rounds and a weight of 6kg. The first design, just for tests with the special forces.
M2010 C: The commando production run was lighter then the A1, had a shorter barrel with silencer. Used by the special forces.
M2010 C2: Improved command version. The lightest version of the M2010.
M2010 A2: Improved intantry version. Lighter, another caliber, more rounds in one magazin and a higher rate of fire make this gun even more dangerous.
M2010 S: This version was desigend for troop support. The longer barrel makes it a lot easier to aim over greater distances, up to 1800 meters.
M2010 T: This production run is for police forces around the world. The sawed-off shotgun is serial and can shoot small taser rings that knock out the enemy.
a triple barrel shotgun with 2 types of bullets for it, one is the normal kind of shotgun bullets and the other is an explosive type of shotgun bullets that can take more than one enemy down at a time
what about a wepon the confuses the enemy to turn against each other and kill themselves and let salem and rios by with out getting shot at
Perhaps some sort of gattling with a grenaid launcher attachment or a sniper scope for better aiming?
Or has a tazer as secondary fire?
Or hell why not all of em? A grenaid fireing gattling gun with a sniper scope and tazer…and it fires tear gas bombs as its grenaids.Hell that could be fun,surrounded by enemies and you launch tear gas into them and then you tear em up with precision gattling gun fire.
Hows that general Joe sir?
i was thinking about a weapon much like m16 fitted with a M203 40 mm grenade launcher but instead of that we have it fitted with some kind of electric piercing rounds, its base looking like the backpack from ghost busters with electricity and stuff like that and the barrel being like a chaingun. It would be very good for taking down light vehicles.
And to make the battlerifle look more badass we could add the clips that shoot normal bullets on either side of the weapon so that it kinda look like wings (I imagine them shorter than real clips so the weapon wouldn’t look weird).
And it would be so cool if it would reload by breaking it (like a shootgun) the used clips just bounce of so you could add the new clips very fast.
I pictured it so good in my mind too bad i can’t friggin draw.
I have three ideas one is a elctromagnetic gun or a rail gun for a special weapon another for primary is an automatic assault rifle with a samurai sword blade hidden under the barrell put can take the handle put at the but of the gun so the blade’s the primary weapon and secondary a revolver that you can press a button so the barrel and cilinder will fall foward automaticly eject the cilinder and just put in another one
Holy shit theres alot of good ideas here. I need to get our Weapon Specialist Marobot in here to check these out!
I dont know how the hell we are going to pick just one.
hears how i feel about designing a gun http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=spaeWRdh8oU
now hears my best idea ever. a net gun that fires steel nets that had an electric pack on it which will fire at the enemy and electrocute them. and they will never get it off them while they’re alive XD
Ok, how about some bad ass automatic rifle with explosive tipped rounds
Smith & Wesson just came out with their TRR8 Revolver, so I figured I’d use that as a base:
^Shoots .357 Magnum as well mine darts like in RE4.
^On the bottom rail, I put on a bayonet for crafty, one-hit kills (looks like the one on the TC Mod pistol). The results would always be bloody.
^I slapped on a grip with a high-intensity CTC laser sight which blinds enemies when aimed at their faces.
^Has a detachable 8 round cylinder so the player could simply insert a new one to shoot rather than reload the weapon one round at a time.
^I left the top-rail open so players could put scopes and the like on their weapons. I don’t recall being able to customize a handgun in the last game, so having more options for a one-handed weapon would be pretty nice.
^You can dual-wield one with another weapon, possibly a shield, allowing for some emphasis on melee combat and defensive action alongside gun-play.
^If they put in weapon destructibility like in Far Cry 2, this could be a more durable choice since it’s a double-action revolver and not a semi-auto.
^To make it signature with the Angry Joe Army, an emblem with the initials A.J. would be engraved on the side of the handle. The emblem would emit a strange glow after a melee kill.
I can think up more, but I’m too sleepy to go on today.
I would say that in Army of Two fashion, you should just take a semi-futuristic creative weapon, but illustrate it in an angry joe skin. I would think black with force lightning all over it.

YOu really can’t draw!
Love the little rockets!
to bad i cant draw but somone who does could make something out of my idea

Gloves?
Who the hell wants gloves!
We should design something bad ass! That means something small with an eye-sight that sends a little explosive. Here is the difference! When you shoot at someone it gets attached to them and they hear this little beep giving them some seconds of pain! could work on walls as well! And the different explosions on the enemies could be really cool! just blowing off one arm and half the head! or a complete head blow!
the sounds would be:
POW(getting fired)!
CLANCK (attaching to the enemy or a wall)
BEEP BEEP BEEP (agony of the enemy)
KABLAMO MUTHAFUCKA! (sound of enemy getting what they deserve(ownage))
POP(bottle of champagne being opened by the winner)
UNTZ UNTZ UNTZ (prostitutes dancing around us)
Damn, gotta get my creative juices flowin.
oh and if you get my ideas angry Joe, here is my link http://www.youtube.com/user/linkinpark227
well i already gave a piece of advice but another i can give it how about gloves. but not just any, these can allow you to interact and create weapons out of your environment. so say you are fighting on the street. just put the gloves on and rip a stop sign off the pool and throw it and slice off some guys head. or if you are fighting indoors, you can rip out the electrical wires in the wall and electrocute your enemies. but the coolest thing is it can be used again and again ( but make sure it can be used with a cheat code)
A really powerful pison in a gun shaped thing, which essentially punches enemies vey very hard
Or gas remote mines
Or a gun which fires shrapnel youv picked up off the ground
Or a gun with a really powerful torch on the end to daze the enemies
Or a gun where the bullets break apart inside the enemis to do more damage
Or something which jams enemies guns somehow
Or something wich sucks all the oxygen out of the air
Or a really high pitched noise maker whivh hurts the enemis ears really bad
Or… a dog which is trained to attack the enemies, which has an explosive jacket strapped to it which you can detonate!
*piston
If you want a Profanity gun and a taser gun, here’s my idea:
Here’s the link: http://www.dtic.mil/ndia/nld4/moore.pdf
The U.S military already has a weapon that can concentrate loud sounds onto one single spot.The Aversive Audible Acoustic Device (A3D) is a highly directional device that can be hand-held or vehicle mounted. It directs an acoustic beam, which has tailorable intensity, and is used as a public address system, to focus on a specific individual or to deliver aversive sounds to alter a combatant’s behavior. Now since it’s already able to be hand-held let’s say the army designed it to have paralyzing frequencies. Since the noise is only focused in one specific direction, the user won’t be paralyzed by the noise. And let’s just say to have more efficiency on the battlefield with this weapon, the newer model was designed to look similar to a rifle. There could even be an option where the player can put on a head-set and yell into the mic and whatever was said would be fired from the A.A.R or Audible Assault Rifle. (if anyone has a better name, feel free to tell me.) so there’s your profanity option. Plus, the A.A.R would have a taser to be used the same way as a bayonet. So when your enemy is on the ground, covering his ears and screeming in pain, you can run up and zap them. If the rifle design doesn’t work, then maybe it can look like an electronic flamethrower, but that means no taser.
how about a little camera that you can throw out, that has a little gun.
damn they just keep coming last resort bullet gloves or laser gloves if your gun runs out of ammo you still got four shots in you fingers on each hand totaling yes (i know my spelling suck) to eight last resort shots till you get more ammomfor your gun ok im done for now
ooo ooo i just thought of something things how about a water taser gun like they tried to do on mythbusters use the force of the water to spary and get more people shocked than just one at a time
what about a sniper rifle with a scope that can see heat signitures through any structure in the game and make it shoot .50 cal bulletes or some other high cal bullet make something that is more powerful than the .50 cal so it can penatrate through anything in the game even the steel armor of a tank or bunker im not real good at visulization but atributes i can give you
ok im a bit of a designer but not an artest. here are some ideas like your angry Joe rifal with a stun gun mounted on top and by pressing X or L you can fire a tazer shot at your enemies thus making them colaps and having them stunned for a few seconds.
sounds interesting time to draw some badass weapons for the angry joe army!
A semi-automatic rifle that shoots bullets induced in poison that contain a small quantity of nitroglycerin,
Boom
Awesome videos Joe, keep them coming
the Germans during WWII had a Sturmgewehr assault rifle (the first massed produced one)that had a curved barrel attachment that could shoot around corners or from the hatch of tanks, they were changeable and though they wore out, we have new materials now that wouldn’t likely ware out that easily. That might be an interesting feature.
