Humerah Ghori’s vision of a new rifle for 2012 Olympic clay pigeon shooting
The renders look great and the model on the stand was rather exciting to spot, but it’s the overall confidence of a graduate to go all out and design a firearm for her graduate project that wins my vote. One of several projects inspired by the forthcoming 2012 London Olympic Games, Humerah’s shotgun identifies issues with the sport’s current equipment and attempts to address them. By solving issues in relation to recoil, balance, weight distribution and adjustability - all factors that can seriously affect performance - the product is designed from the ground up for the modern sport and steers away from traditional design.
