That is one fine spacy image! I like it!
Also like it better then the other one, cause no sound in space, yo!
(Now I'm off to the internets to find out what chemical element has green emission spectrum. Using a method of simple elimination I've figured out that this rifle must be some kind of particle cannon, so I'm curious what is it's working medium... I have too much free time apparently.)

Thanks! There's already been some speculation - let me know what else you learn!
I've spent some time on the net, flexing my weak and atrophied chemistry muscles, and I have a candidate... possibly.
For a particle beam you want an element that has a high atomic mass, because beam dispersion decreases proportional to square root of atomic mass and one that can be fairly easy to ionize, so your beam can go (as I understand you can accelerate it then with freaking magnets, either in a linear accelerator, like on the picture or in a circular one).
I've checked a site that has flame tests of some elements and it turns out thallium burns in a nice green colour, has an atomic mass similar to mercury (which is a good candidate to fuel a particle beam due to its atomic mass and fairly easy ionization) and it seems to be quite eager to ionize. Boron might be another candidate based only on the colour of the beam, as it burns green with a slightly yellowish tint, but its atomic mass is low in comparison to thallium.
So there you have it. Not a definite answer, for that, someone with an actual knack for SCIENCE! would have to take over, but maybe a probable one? Hopefully...
And again, love your work. Keep being awesome.

Thanks! I have this version in my main gallery; just didn't want to clutter things up with alternates ^^
