The Arming of the von Hedwigs, with pistol and rifle.

Making and modification of weapons for Steampunk gear. So far the lab has produced two hand held weapons that are unique and original in their formation. A couple of others still on the work bench, are incomplete and will be written up later.  The first is Madame von Hedwig needle gun, a pistol out of brass lamp bits and hobby supplies. The second is a modification of a toy cap rifle with Adolphus. . . . . . . . Madame, being a women at ease with plants and their uses desired a weapon that could deploy her practical knowledge at range.  Thus a weapon that could rapidly fire needles containing a selection of sedatives, poison or toxins seem the best choice.  Being that Hera dislike bulky gear that distracts from her normal peaceful social interaction with the world a pistol was ideal.
