Japanese cosplayer creates impressive replica of Monster Hunter’s heavy bowgun
Why hunt monsters with a sword when you can do it with a massive cosplay rifle?
What makes cosplay so great is its range. You can cosplay anything from a demure maid in uniform to a giant, imposing robot. And for some cosplays on the more menacing side of the spectrum, their core revolves around enormous weapons such as swords or guns.
For Japanese Twitter user @killer_927, his weapon for cosplaying is a huge heavy bowgun from famed monster-slaying franchise Monster Hunter called the Queen’s Longfire. His weapon has been getting a lot of attention online recently for, well, living up to his killer Twitter handle.

The firing mechanism is made up of springs and several moving parts, while using a bicycle brake lever as the trigger.
下地作るのにこの手間取り。行き当たりばったりで素材変えるからあとでこーゆー事になるのである。100均のフロアマット使用。厚さ1センチだから計算しやすい https://t.co/60L5IBzmrq

▼ A lot of work was put into this.
インフルと仕事の忙しさにかまけてしばらーく手をつけてなかったヘヴィ。 2月中には完成させたいと思っていましたが、後ろ部分の構造気に食わなくて結局作り直しちゃいました(;^ω^) スムーズにリロードするっぽくなるように中身かなりアナ… http://twitter.com/i/web/status/8…

In the Monster Hunter game, heavy bowguns are massive assault rifles that considerably slow down players in exchange for unparalleled firepower. They are heavy but pack a serious punch, which @killer_927 managed to replicate with great success.
▼ The rifle measures a whopping 180 centimeters (70.8 inches)!
妃竜砲の造形部分終わったー\(^-^)/(弓部分は取り外し式にするので別)バフィさんに習った表面処理も部分的にチャレンジしてみた!180センチの自分が抱えてこの大きさ!!塗装頑張る!!! 材料 コスプレボード、塩ビパイプ、木板、… http://twitter.com/i/web/status/8…

use of dragon scales and webbing in crafting.

▼ The rear bowstring section employs clever
use of magnets, making storage a breeze.
ちなみに弓部分は磁石でくっついてるので収納も安心☆(2メートル50センチ) https://t.co/7JpN7eS6S9

▼ Here’s a thrilled @killer_927 showing off his formidable Queen’s Longfire in action.
You can almost imagine him taking down a towering prey with that.

All that’s left is a matching Black Flame King Rathalos armor, which @killer_927 has made great progress on.

Competition is heating up as cosplayers enter a fevered frenzy preparing for Summer Comiket. Perhaps @killer_927 can team up with Eren Yeager and Levi cosplayers from Attack on Titan to take down some gigantic monsters together. Let’s just hope they’ll leave some awesome for the rest of us.
