It's totally a nerf gun. Pew pew suction cup darts!

It's "analysis". Analyzation just sounds like the act of giving/receiving anal.

Op's an alien?

It all makes sense now!

When I look at it, bottom looks like a net gun based off the close up. It looks like it has the metal spike-like things (sorry, unfamiliar with the term) that you see with the spider-web like nets to add weight and grab.
The other gun DOES kind of look like a long range weapon, but considering the trapper's role is to be as close as possible to the monster (to trap and dome), long range doesn't make sense to me. I'm going to guess a LMG, as opposed to mag/grifs' smg. Large number of rounds per second, lower accuracy and damage (I'm no guns expert/COD prestige though so it's just a guess).
Edit: What if the bird is actually the damage dealer and the rifle is the tracker (like abes darts). That would be a nifty concept, let the trapper spend 100% time doing trapper things while bird does passive damage. The only thing that bothers me is my dartgun theory. There's already a dartgun. I wouldn't think there would be two.

Too small of a magazine to be a fully automatic weapon. That's only 5-10 rounds at most.
Certainly correct about the spikes, I'm in agreement there.

It could be a drum mag. We can't see the other side.

maybe a spike cannon? this could slow the monster maybe even impale it? Net gun does sound cool as hell tho

Inb4 the net gun is a tshirt cannon that makes the monster willingly turn around; in the hopes of catching an xxxtra large shirt.

but all the shirts will be a child's small.
2
The monster will catch the shirt and become depressed about it's weight, slowing it down.

What if we're looking at it backwards and the gun on the left is the primary weapon while the rifle is the special?

Goddamn I hope that's a net gun I'm so excited!!!!!

bullpup is when the magazine well is behind the trigger.

That doesn't have to be a solid round magazine, could be battery pack for energy weapon. I just don't think rifle makes sense here, and the whole front part looks more like energy weapon than rifle barrel with shroud/enclosure

The first one looks like Cabots Railgun to me, buuuuuuuuuuuut since there is the trapper symbol in the middle of the pic I think we are seeing the t4 weapons!

The first one is pretty obviously some kind of rifle.... you can see the scope and clip.

lack of third weapon also suggest pet I assume ;)

Trapper pet is basically confirmed, if you look at the hunting season pass image there is a bird on one of the character's arms.

Yeah, some kinda bird. The skin should still affect its color though as Daisy's color is affected by skins.
EDIT: Kinda makes you wag your finger at TRS. Normal Trapper skin packages show Daisy. They know the T4 Trapper pet is the big reveal, but if they included the guns — the community would get all frothy with ZOMG WHAT DOES IT DO. This is totally intentional.

more of a tip o' the hat

Oh god, the feels!! Come back to us Stephen!!!

Good find. Thanks.

I was right, it's an energy weapon!

My rough estimate of shape based on the St. Pats day picture.
Certainly looks like a traditional sniper/hunting rifle with a standard magazine. I'm guessing it isn't an energy weapon but fires solid projectiles with that in mind.
The smaller gun that looks like an SMG has different features near the end of the "barrel" that indicate it is not a typical firearm.
To me it looks like an array of darts. Could be a catapult of grapple darts attached to a net.
This fits the theme of one damaging firearm and one method of slowing the monster as the other three trappers have now.
Also in my opinion, we only see two of the new weapons as the new trapper hunter is the suspected one with the bird, the bird being it's third weapon slot very much like Daisy is Maggie's third slot.
I'm guessing the bird will function as an aerial spotter device rather than a tracker like Maggie. If you "launch" the bird it may spot the monster if it's nearby or something like that. Like an automated bucket head.
The dart/net gun could be a taser gun like the taser shotgun shell.
That sounds pretty legit, tbh. i kind of like that better.
The first weapon is likely some kind of DMR probably a 10 to 15 round clip, of course that could also be an energy weapon with a battery pack. The second does certainly look like some kind of netgun, it might give some sort of stun and give you time to dome and get away to a better engagement range.
