Italian artist Federico Mauro is at it again with his Famous series, this time it revolves around Famous Guns. Devoid of anything but what really matters, the minimalist images showcase some of the most coveted weapons in the world, if only because they were in someone's favorite movie or held by someone's favorite celebrity. Through the Famous Guns series, people are given a rare detailed glimpse at these firearms.
From Ellen Ripley's futuristic rifle to Vincent Vega's silver pistol and Ash's double barrelled boomstick, the Famous Guns series is pretty comprehensive. In total, it depicts 45 different firearms. At the rate Mauro is going, people will soon be able to collect interesting images of all of their favorite pop culture icons from famous guns to famous guitars.
