Basically this.

>Type 14 Nambu pistol
>copied from the Luger
No it's not you fucking retard lmao. Both have a short-recoil action, but similarities really end here, the Luger has an exposed toggle, with a 'shoulder' for the toggle lugs to roll against to break the toggle open when the barrel has recoiled far enough, while the Nambu has an enclosed bolt with a pivoting locking-block (aside from the enclosed part, more like the Mauser C96).

The Type 14 Nambu isn't a great pistol, it's janky, unreliable, and pretty modestly powered for its size, but it's no direct copy of any one pistol, in fact there's a number of design elements which you simply don't see anywhere else (mostly for good reasons). Its profile resembles the Luger, but so does the Lahti L-39 from Finland, which itself uses a diagonally sliding locking block, as compared to the Luger's toggle-lock 'knee-joint' or the Nambu's pivoting locking-block.
The diagonal/slanted grip with the action on top and an exposed barrel on the front is similar on all three of these pistols, but this is because that kind of 'layout' was seen as one of the ways to just do an automatic pistol at the time. You can just as well see it on less successful guns, many before the Nambu, like the Borchardt, the Adler, the Schwarzlose, as well as the moderately successful Webley, and completely obscure Maxim-Silverman.

Given the surface level comparison of these two pistols, it'd be interesting to see just which of the other physical objects there are actual direct functional/mechanical copies.

Fair, and that's what I want to hear.

>I don't think the drum mags are as distinct as the ammo boxes
I could maybe put some color marking on them, but that was something I was concerned with.
Possibly the drum could be made a second version of the bullet box, so that one can place it where it fits or something, though I wonder if that would feel like bloat.

>The magazines being pistols is neat, though.
I drew a pistol magazine which was proportionate to the pistol, but it ended up being absolutely fucking tiny because it's like 3 or 4 pixels wide. The pistol being an ammo pickup in itself is kind of a last minute thing.

That's really good looking.
To really make the thing perfect, it'd need a frame between when the action is locked, and when full opened, put the small flash on that, then the large flash on the fully open frame, and animate it at 1 tic per frame, it'll look really smooth and satisfying.

I'd put vaseline on one of them sexy Luger Parabellum pistols~
