24 Cool Steampunk Weapons from Another Era

Steampunk may bring to your mind images of brass, copper and retro gadgets that seem to be inspired by the Industrial age, when in fact, the term Steampunk in its purest form refers to the sub-genre of fiction writing or science fiction which deals with anachronistic technology from the Victorian Age. Loosely applied, it refers to the innumerable gadgets, fashion and lifestyle products that have been created after being inspired by steam age, and industrial age.

Steampunk Art has that raw and primeval appeal with which one could go back to the ages of lawlessness, and of wars and violence. Thus, it shouldn’t be a surprise that we found out that most people who are interested in Steampunk are also fascinated by Steampunk weapons. Here is an amazing list of 24 Cool Steampunk Weapons which remind you that weapons are meant to kill, no matter how beautiful they look.
