"Torn Suit Konoko" is a fan term for this image of beaten/torn gunslinger Konoko, as drawn by Lorraine Reyes. This image may have originally appeared on the cover of PC Advisor magazine. Although she cannot do so in the game itself, Konoko carries three weapons:

  • The machine gun seems to be an amalgam of the Russian AKMS (shoulder stock, grip) and the American M60 (folding bipod, belt-fed design).
  • The revolver is apparently inspired by the iconic Italian Mateba revolver, as mentioned HERE.
All 3 guns have been modeled by 17secs and are available in low-poly OBJ HERE.
