All of Prof’s designs, from the stubborn, overheating ‘Bastard’ to the pneumatic ‘Tihar’ are based on sound mechanical principles, and could conceivably function in the real world.Īlexandre’s Multi Barrelled Bicycle Shotgun represented a new, meticulously detailed blueprint for exactly this kind of weapon. The hand-made weapons in Metro 2033 and Metro: Last Light were designed by 4A Games’ co-founder and Creative Director, Andrew ‘Prof’ Prokhorov – a self-confessed gun enthusiast with a background in engineering.
