Are there any steampunk type weapons available for G8F? Guns, pistols etc etc? Maybe a sci fi one that could be made to look kinda steampunky? Preferable here at daz.

Pretty much any weapon can be for any figure. Just make sure nothing is selected when loading the weapon. Most weapons will load in the approximate hand position. Have the figure in the zero pose and then move the weapon to their hand and parent it to the hand.
There are some Steampunk type weapons in the store (none that I can find are G8F specific):

The Badaboom ones are pretty groovy!
I did find these:

which can look kinda steampunky! Also, realised I already own them LOL!
Don't forget some of Pretty3d's stuff works well as Steampunk:

Although I am a fan of the clothes I chose these 2 for the weapons that come with them.
Hope that helps,

thank you! wishlisted them - not particularly keen on the outfits but the weapons are great!
Quite an assortment of items at the "Other place". Steampunk is a good search tag. Love the Steampunk lightsaber.
Not designed as Steampunk as such and not for G8 but it has that kind of look is the Kruger MK.15, appears to be no longer available but you might have it in your back catalog. Also you could kit-bash other weapons, brass/copper/wood textures and a few bits and bobs (DzFires Nurnies Greebles could be useful) or even a few primitives.
Okay a quick conversion using shaders (Mec4D PBS set 2 in this case) of Nightshift3D SPARC-570 Plasma Cannon. No added bits but the looks not bad as it is, and as as a lot of Nightshif3D's stuff is 69% off for PC members at the moment a few bargains to be had.
oh that looks good! i've got that on my wishlist actually. I also have Mec4d's shaders too. I was looking for a hand weapon in particular, it's not the focus of the piece, but that plasma cannon would look good. I find that while I like the steampunk genre, I have so few weapons to use with ti.
Okay had a bit of a fool around with Polish's Cyborg Pistol, because it is very un-steampunkish, added a few bits from DzFire's Greebles sets, applied a few Brass/Copper shapers and you get this, the second pistol is the original. Also note that most of the Greebles only have a single surface, maybe two so in this case I used the Geometry Editor to make a new surface for the lenses on the scope and added a glass shader, an emissive shader would also work well.
No discounts on the DzFire or Polish at the moment though.
that looks great, you are making me realise that with shaders, I should have plenty of steampunky weapons! :)
