Wait, Zhao Yunlan's gun is actually a...?!

(I've never claimed production meta for @guardianbingo before, but after the amount of time and research I put in on this, I feel like I've earned the "Zhao Yunlan's Gun or Whip" square, haha)

SO. GUYS.

Maybe this is something fandom as a whole figured out back in 2018, but I, who didn't hear of Guardian until 2020, did not realize until now and I need to share the knowledge because when I finally noticed, I made an unholy sound.

I've tracked down where Zhao Yunlan's gun came from -- or at least, what it most likely started as. Not the in-universe dark-energy-maybe-uses-bullets-maybe-doesn't-device-that's-best-not-thought-about-too-long, but rather the actual fake-steampunk-revolver-that-is-best-not-looked-at-too-long-because-it's-awful prop.

Y'know, this disaster:

I was actually working on a different Guardian Bingo fill and needed to look something up for continuity, so I'd flipped through a couple of episodes at super high speed trying to find a scene. As luck would have it, one of my skips forward happened to land on the scene I screencapped above, when ZYL confronts Zhang Shi.

Normally we don't get this clear (or this stationary) a shot of the godawful gun prop. I'd assumed all along they had just taken a plastic gun, glued some extra bits and bobs on it to make it look fancy, and hit it with some dry brushing (fun fact: you can watch the paint flake throughout the series; check out the top of the barrel and the side of the cylinder in the above screenshot!) to make it look #steampunk like the abandoned aesthetic of 25% of the show (as I've said before, I have theories about what happened in preproduction, but that's another post). This sort of thing is exactly what I've done for cheap cosplay weapons or background props for film work that aren't going to be seen at HD detail range.

Anyway, since the detail showed up better here than in other shots, I paused the video to look at the random screws and hex bolts (why??) they'd glued on it, since I recalled that I had the aforementioned gun/whip bingo square to fill.

That's when I noticed a detail that had eluded me before: An inverted V shape at the bottom of the grip.

Only looking more closely, that's not an inverted V. It's a symbol that I've seen a whole series of variations of over the past 15+ years... every time there's a new installment of the Assassin's Creed video game series:

So I started hunting. The principal weapons in each game turned up no matches, but eventually I found a gun that looks almost exactly like ZYL's:

It's not a perfect replica, but the details are certainly all there: The stylized logo; the leaves and swirls on the grip; the feathers up the back; even the Victorian scrollwork beneath the barrel.

Now, what's really interesting is that this gun isn't actually from the AC game series. It's part of an elaborate fan project by artist David Paget that started as a class assignment back in 2014. Even though it gathered a bit of steam in the AC fandom and generated a couple of forum role-play groups, OCs and the like, nothing about this artwork was ever connected to a real Assassin's Creed title. So why would there be a physical version of a gun that was only someone's fanart?

This is where the smoking gun (*rimshot*) goes missing, because I can't prove any of this, and it's been long enough that digging through the archives of the internet to find answers is going to take way more time than I can afford to spend on a project I'm not getting paid for. But there are two likely possibilities:

Scenario A: Some employee in a toy factory somewhere in China got told, "This Assassin's Creed franchise is really big, so we need to be producing replicas from those games to sell. Work up some designs." So the employee Googles "assassin's creed gun," finds David Paget's very professional-looking art, and whips up a replica to mass-injection-mold without realizing it's not actually from a game. Later, someone on the cash-strapped Guardian production team needs a gun to mod, and finds a cheap toy revolver on clearance after several years of sitting in storage because there was little demand for a replica of a gun that was never in a game. They buy several, glue hex bolts on the cylinder for reasons unknown, and poof! Instant pseudo-steampunk!

Scenario B: Other fans were involved in the design. Someone did build a 3D model of David Paget's design that's still available on Sketchfab (screenshot below), and it's not unreasonable to assume that other fans could have thought it looked cool and built 3D printable models. Later, someone on the cash-strapped Guardian production team needs a gun to mod, and acquires the 3D print file of one of those models from the interwebs. They mod the file a bit, print some, glue hex bolts on the cylinder for reasons unknown, and poof! Instant pseudo-steampunk!

Personally, I find Scenario A far more likely than Scenario B, for two reasons: First, the hero prop looks more injection molded than 3D printed, especially given the technical state of 3D printing back in 2017-8. And second... Budget-challenged dramas do have a history of picking up bulk video game replicas and using them as cheap props. I made a post back in 2019 about the WoW Horde shields we spotted in a different drama...

Anyway, no firm answers about the source of the hero prop -- the world may never know! -- but we have now confirmed that in some alternate universe (possibly one of the first eighty?), Zhao Yunlan and/or Zhao Xinci is an Assassin.

Wait, wait, wait... *recalls mechanics of how the whole Assassin's Creed frame story is supposed to work* Uh... so... who wants to write a genetic memory explanation for the whole Kunlun -> [lots of lifetimes] -> Zhao Yunlan thing?

.

(I did actually check the catalogue of a friend of mine who makes replicas of props from various media franchises to see if he'd done a commission of the David Paget design, since a surprising number of his custom pieces actually do end up on film and television, but while he has a gorgeous replica of a revolver that actually appears in an AC game, it appears he has not done the Zhao Yunlan gun. I didn't really think it likely, since he's in the U.S., but you never know.)

Sneak peek at a rough draft of the Winterserra wedding + a little bit of the "honeymoon" for Father's Day (mostly happy but one bittersweet scene) :3

The first few days after Rosa's birth are slow and quiet. All Luis really does is sleep and gaze at Rosa with misty eyes, still absolutely baffled that a screw up like him made something so flawless.

While Ethan doesn't get any one on one time with her, due to her preferring Luis and him being obsessed and wanting her laying on his chest whenever he's awake, Ethan still keeps all the lofty promises he made about how Luis wouldn't have to lift a finger because he'd go all out taking care of them. Luis gets at least three meals a day brought to him in bed and a steady supply of any and all snacks he asks for. Ethan helps Luis get up and to the bathroom. Luis insists on being the one to bottle feed her whenever he's awake, but Ethan is the one to go downstairs to get the formula bottles ready.

Ethan also takes a lot of pictures, somewhat because of Luis. Every time Ethan wanted to take a picture of Luis while he was pregnant, he let him, but also playfully rolled his eyes and poked fun at how silly it was that Americans always wanted to take pictures of everything all the time, not just special occasions. But now that Rosa is here, he gets it. He wants every tiny little moment with her preserved forever. Every yawn, hiccup, all her adorable little mushroom pajama sets and princess dresses, Luis wants it all documented forever. Ethan is all too happy to indulge, snapping dozens of pictures of her everyday.

Once Luis is recovered enough to be up on his feet again by himself, activity in the household picks back up. Ethan takes up wedding planning and logistics of them relocating to Valdelobos for a few months. Luis is just too occupied with other things to contribute much. He was itching to get back down into the lab and back at work finding a cure for Ethan, and Rosa too. So far he's found no evidence she's infected, but since he was dosing himself with the mold growth suppressant during pregnancy and giving her the suppressant directly since birth, he's concerned that she is still infected and the suppressant has just done a good job keeping it at an undetectable level. Curing her is still as important as curing Ethan, because he doesn't want her to spend the rest of her life dependent on the injections.

And on top of that, Luis ends up being the primary caregiver. While she does start to warm up to Ethan more, she definitely still has a favorite and has days where she's fussy and only wants Luis, crying until Ethan hands her to Luis. When he's downstairs working, she's either strapped to his chest or in a little bassinet right by his chair. (Ethan still gets plenty of time with her, taking her for a little bit when he brings Luis lunch, doing some of her feedings, sometimes reading to her at bedtime.)

The “wedding planning” isn't exactly hard. It's just a small backyard ceremony, they're not even going to make any of it legal/official for a long while yet. The existence of Rosa María Winters will remain a closely guarded secret until both her and her father are completely cured of the mold, and no longer valuable targets to unsavory scientists. So it's truly a tiny wedding, the only guests being Claire, Sherry, Chris, Rebecca, and, of course, Rosa as the guest of honor, strapped to Luis's chest in her carrier with a pink rose headband. It's the first time Sherry and Chris meet her in person, so Luis and Ethan were excited about showing her off, especially now that she was getting even cuter, features she inherited from Luis beginning to show. Her hair was still dark like his, and her complexion was starting to get tanner too. Her facial features weren't as obvious yet, but the fact she definitely got his coloring is enough to make him happy.

What came after the wedding was harder to figure out– the logistics of moving to Valdelobos with a tiny baby. (Who can't be taken on a normal plane because she doesn't legally exist.) But Ethan figured it out. Chris has a private plane ready for them after the wedding, and Ethan had packed all the essentials they needed to take with them, mostly sentimental things. Once in Spain they buy a truck to load everything into before shopping for everything they'd need that Ethan didn't feel was worth bringing on a plane.

“Just tell me when you start getting tired at all,” Ethan says while they walk from the truck to the village square. Luis has Rosa in her carrier and a small backpack with her light necessities, the standard diaper bag supplies, plus some extra clothing and her favorite toy. Ethan has a heavier weight on his back, Rosa's folded up pack and play. He'll have to go back and make multiple trips to get everything from the truck, but wants to focus on getting Luis and Rosa settled first. “I know you think you're fully recovered, and you have come a long way, but you're still not 100%, I don't want you pushing yourself too hard.”

“I'm fine!” Luis insists. “But I do think it's hot when you pick me up and carry me around like I weigh nothing, so I won't object if you decide to carry me part of the way…”

Ethan grins and doesn't wait, immediately scooping Luis up bridal style, Rosa still safe on his chest. The movement does wake her up and startles her into crying, but settles back down with some soft comforting words from Luis. Once they reach the renovated house, she's hungry and fussy so Luis gets comfortable on the couch and gives her a ready bottle from an insulated lunch box with an ice pack, while Ethan goes back to the truck to get more of their stuff. The rest of the day is just spent getting settled in.

Luis is so paranoid about Rosa getting snatched in the night that he boards up the bedroom window. But after that he has no problem falling asleep. He is safe here. No one looking for Ethan Winters is going to start looking in a ghost town in Spain. And even if they did… Ethan came well armed and, after how attentive to all of Luis's emotions and needs, Luis has no doubts that Ethan would kill anyone that tried to fuck with their little family. Rosa sleeps well too, in her bassinet by the bed, right next to Luis.

“How are your arms doing from all the carrying you did yesterday?” Luis asks while they have breakfast the next morning. “I want to show you the cabin I grew up in, but a rowboat stored near here is the best way to get to it. The foot paths to it obviously haven't been maintained, and have become too overgrown to use easily, but you can get there quick taking a boat across the lake. But I understand if you need time to recover, you did all of the work yesterday, after all.”

“We can go soon. Don't forget I have magic mold,” Ethan smiles while he talks. He never would have smiled so casually about it before, but becoming a father has helped him embrace his infection. “But I'm guessing it'll be a long outing? I'll have to pack everything Rosa might need before we go, and some food for us too. I bet she'll love it. There was one night you fell asleep early and I was watching TV with her. I put on some nature documentary because I didn't want to rot her brain, I think she liked when it was showing the ocean. She seemed like she was watching it.”

“We got a little nature lover? She will love it here. Not a whole lot to do except stare at nature,” Luis sighs. “I really wouldn't want to stay here for so long, if it weren't for the safety aspect. I spent my whole childhood desperately wanting to get the fuck out of here, then the first time I came back I also spent the whole time wanting out, albeit for different reasons, so willingly coming back feels so strange.”

“We won't be here forever, just until we have some better safety plans. We'll figure it out. And it's not going to be as boring, now that you have someone that's never been here. Giving me a tour of everything might make the same old, same old feel a bit more exciting to you. I want to see everything.”

“Everything?”

“Everything,” Ethan confirms. “It's interesting, learning more about you.”

“I was planning to visit where I buried Leon today. I was going to alone, but– Do you..?”

“If you want to go alone, that's okay. But I was serious when I said everything. If you want me to come with you, I will. I'm not going to get jealous. He was important to you, so he's important to me.”

“I would like that. We go there before the boat, it's only a few minutes away from here.”

It's close enough that he doesn't bother getting Rosa into the carrier, opting to just carry her in his arms after getting her into one of her warmest outfits. They walk in silence. There's no tombstone, just a regular flat rock Luis had found and moved after burying Leon, and later carved his initials into. Luis hands Rosa to Ethan when they get to the clearing, then kneels down by the rock.

“Hey, Leon,” Luis looks up at Ethan, expecting to see a judgemental look for talking out loud to a dead man, but he only sees a small, supportive smile. It gives him the encouragement to really pour his heart out. “I really did it. I moved on, kept my promise to you. I'm married now. That fun guy I was telling you about last time. He's not you, but I love him with all my heart, and he does remind me of you. He's as forgiving as you. I thought I was going to get dumped for hiding the pregnancy for so long and generally being a shitty boyfriend, but he forgave me as fast as you did… By the way, the baby is okay. Better than okay. You should see her, she's perfect,” Taking that as a cue, Ethan gets closer and passes Rosa to Luis. Pleased to be back with her favorite person, she starts smiling and Luis can almost pretend it's because she knows he's talking about her. “Perfect. I don't deserve her, honestly. I love her so much, I love being a father. I still feel like I'm a shitty person, but the guilt doesn't cripple me like it used to. There was nothing right about you trading your life for mine, but trading your life for mine and Rosa María's? That's more fair.”

Luis continues to ramble to Leon. A little bit about the wedding and Ethan, but mostly about Rosa. When he's finally done he turns his head back expecting to see Ethan, and instead realizes he's gone, it's just him and Rosa. After a couple minutes of Luis doing his best to not have a panic attack, Ethan returns with a fistful of wildflowers he sets on the stone, before taking Rosa with one arm and letting Luis use the other to pull himself back up to a standing position.

“Thank you for coming with me,” Luis whispers to Ethan, pecking him on the cheek and taking Rosa back. He holds her out and raises her up above his head before shifting to an overly excited tone. “Ready to go for a fun boat ride, maybe see some fishies in the lake?!”

She smiles, waves her tiny arms around a bit, and starts making some of her happy little baby cooing noises that never fail to make Luis's heart explode.

Plastic Injection Molding Shapes Tomorrow

Plastic material is melted and then injected into a mold cavity using the industrial process of plastic injection molding to produce a solid, three-dimensional item. This method enables the constant mass manufacture of intricate and accurate plastic components.

Important Elements in Plastic Injection Molding

Melting and injecting the plastic material into the mold consists of a hopper for loading plastic pellets, a barrel for heating the material, and a screw or plunger for forcing the molten plastic into the mold.

Mold: Molds can be created with one or more cavities and are commonly constructed of steel or aluminum depending on the needs of the production process.

Clamping Unit: During the injection process by the injection moulding manufacturer, the clamping unit guarantees that the mold stays tightly closed. The two mold parts are held together by a clamping mechanism, and the necessary force is applied by a hydraulic system.

Ejector System: The ejector system forces the final item out of the mold once the plastic has cooled and set inside the mold. The removal of the molded pieces is made simple and effective by this element.

The Technique of Plastic Injection Molding:

Mold Setup: The injection molding machine is ready for use after the mold has been put inside of it.

Pellets of plastic are fed into the machine's hopper during material loading.

Plastic pellets are heated and melted in the barrel of the injection machine before being injected. The molten plastic is then forcefully pumped into the mold cavity.

Cooling: The plastic inside the mold is solidified by cooling the mold. The thickness of the component and the material has an impact on the cooling time.

Ejection: The ejector mechanism forces the final object out of the mold once the plastic has hardened.

Plastic injection molding advantages:

Precision and Consistency: Plastic injection molding yields components with precise tolerances and reliable quality, making it the perfect process for high-precision goods.

Wide Material Variety: The technique is flexible in that it can handle a variety of thermoplastic and thermosetting materials.

Complex Geometries: Using alternative manufacturing processes would be difficult or impossible for the fabrication of elaborate and complex forms. Injection moulding is the best fit for this.

What is Plastic Injection Molding and How Does It Work?

 Plastic injection molding is a widely used manufacturing process that allows for the mass production of plastic parts with high precision and efficiency. This method is versatile, cost-effective, and capable of producing components for industries ranging from automotive to consumer goods and medical devices. Below, we delve into the basics of plastic injection molding and explain how the process works.

What is Plastic Injection Molding?

Plastic injection molding is a manufacturing technique used to create plastic parts by injecting molten plastic into a mold. The mold is typically made from metal and consists of two halves—a cavity and a core—that shape the final product. Once the plastic solidifies within the mold, the finished part is ejected and the cycle begins again.

This process is ideal for creating large quantities of identical parts with high accuracy, making it a popular choice for mass production.

How Does Plastic Injection Molding Work?

The plastic injection molding process involves several key steps:

1. Material Preparation

The process begins with the selection of a suitable plastic material, often in the form of pellets or granules. These materials can be thermoplastics (e.g., polypropylene, ABS, or nylon) or thermosetting plastics, depending on the desired properties of the final product.

2. Melting the Material

The plastic pellets are fed into a heated barrel, where they are melted by high temperatures and the friction generated by a rotating screw. The molten plastic is then ready for injection.

3. Injection

The molten plastic is injected into the mold cavity under high pressure. The mold is securely clamped to withstand the pressure and maintain its shape during this step. The pressure ensures that the molten plastic fills every corner of the mold.

4. Cooling

Once the mold is filled, the plastic begins to cool and solidify into the desired shape. Cooling times vary depending on the material and the complexity of the design. Some molds may feature cooling channels to expedite this process.

5. Ejection

After the plastic has fully solidified, the mold opens, and ejector pins push the finished part out of the mold. The part is then inspected for quality and any excess material, such as sprues or flash, is trimmed away.

6. Repeat

The mold is closed again, and the cycle repeats. Modern injection molding machines can complete this process in a matter of seconds, allowing for rapid production.

Advantages of Plastic Injection Molding

High Efficiency: Once set up, the process is highly efficient, enabling the production of large volumes of parts in a short time.

Design Flexibility: Intricate designs with complex geometries can be achieved.

Material Versatility: A wide range of materials can be used, each offering unique properties.

Consistency: Parts produced are uniform, ensuring high precision and quality.

Cost-Effectiveness: While initial mold creation may be expensive, the cost per part decreases significantly with large production runs.

Applications of Plastic Injection Molding

Plastic injection molding is used in various industries, including:

Automotive: Components such as dashboards, bumpers, and interior panels.

Consumer Goods: Toys, household items, and packaging.

Medical Devices: Syringes, surgical instruments, and casings for medical equipment.

Electronics: Enclosures, connectors, and switches.

Hard Chrome Plating: A Reliable Solution for Durability and Wear Resistance

Hard chrome plating is a specialized electroplating process that deposits a thick layer of chromium onto a metal surface to enhance its durability, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance. This process, which involves the use of a chromic acid solution, has become a go-to solution in various industries where component longevity is essential. WWG Engineering offers top-notch hard chrome plating services, with state-of-the-art facilities and plating tanks capable of accommodating both small and large components. Their advanced setup ensures that every part, regardless of size or complexity, receives a high-quality chrome coating to meet specific operational needs.

The Hard Chrome Plating Process

Hard chrome plating is distinct from decorative chrome plating. While decorative chrome is typically applied in thinner layers and is primarily used for aesthetic purposes, hard chrome is applied for functional reasons—mainly to increase the lifespan and performance of machine parts exposed to harsh environments. The thickness of hard chrome plating can range from 25 to 1,000 microns, making it a highly versatile solution for numerous industrial applications.

The process starts by immersing the metal component into a chromic acid solution, where chromium is electro-deposited onto the surface. Electro-deposited chrome is known for its incredible hardness, with typical values ranging between 850 and 1050 HV (63 to 70 HRc). These hardness levels make hard chrome one of the toughest and most durable coatings available, hence the term "hard" chrome.

Key Benefits of Hard Chrome Plating

The advantages of hard chrome plating go beyond its impressive hardness. Here are several key benefits that make it ideal for various industries:

Increased Wear Resistance: Hard chrome is exceptionally resistant to abrasive and erosive wear due to its high hardness and low coefficient of friction. The coating is capable of withstanding repeated contact and movement, making it perfect for components exposed to friction-heavy environments.

Enhanced Corrosion Resistance: Hard chrome offers excellent resistance to atmospheric oxidation, preventing the metal underneath from corroding. Its ability to withstand both oxidizing and reducing agents makes it a top choice for components that operate in corrosive environments.

Self-Lubricating Properties: One of the lesser-known features of hard chrome is its self-lubricating properties. This characteristic reduces the need for external lubrication in some applications, improving efficiency and reducing maintenance costs.

Thermal Stability: Hard chrome is considered a "cold" plating process because it operates at temperatures between 50 and 60°C. This ensures that the physical and mechanical properties of the base material are not affected during the plating process, making it suitable for a wide range of materials and applications.

Repair and Salvage Capabilities: In addition to improving the performance of new components, hard chrome plating is commonly used for salvaging and repairing worn, damaged, or mis-machined parts. Thicker deposits of chrome can restore these components to their original dimensions, allowing them to be reused and extending their operational life.

Common Applications of Hard Chrome Plating

Given its excellent wear resistance, corrosion protection, and other beneficial properties, hard chrome plating is widely used across a broad spectrum of industries. Among the most frequent applications are:

Hydraulic and Pneumatic Piston Rods and Cylinders: Hard chrome plating helps reduce friction and prevent wear on moving parts, extending the life of these critical components.

Molds, Dies, and Screws: In industries like plastic injection molding and die-casting, hard chrome improves wear resistance, helping molds and dies maintain their accuracy and prolonging their service life.

Print Cylinders and Plates: The smooth, hard surface of chrome-coated print cylinders ensures high-quality printing while resisting the wear and tear associated with high-speed printing operations.

Valves, Gates, and Bodies: The corrosion-resistant and wear-resistant properties of hard chrome make it a reliable solution for valves and gate bodies that operate in challenging environments, such as the oil and gas industry.

Mining Equipment: Hard chrome plating is commonly used to extend the operational life of mining equipment exposed to harsh conditions, including abrasive materials and corrosive environments.

Pump Shafts and Rotors: In the pump industry, hard chrome plating ensures that shafts and rotors maintain their dimensional integrity and resist wear, even in environments with high friction and pressure.

Textile Components: The self-lubricating properties of hard chrome make it an ideal material for textile components, reducing maintenance requirements and ensuring smooth operation.

The Evolution of HDPE Liquid Detergent Bottles: From Functionality to Customization

Introduction

The HDPE bottles have also experienced changes in their design after they were first adopted into the market. What was once a product with only the objective of functionality, these bottles are today both functional improvements and uniquely designed products. In this blog post, we will discuss how HDPE Liquid Detergent Bottles have transformed from mere containers to individualistic packaging materials.

The Basics of HDPE Bottles: Organization from Scratch

What is HDPE?

High-density polyethene (HDPE) is one of the most preferred plastic materials due to its high mechanical strength, high impact, and chemical-resistant properties. Such characteristics make the use of HDPE suitable for packaging products such as liquid detergents.
