My lastest model, hopefully better than the last. Suggestions welcome, im thinking of adding a optics sight possibly.

Post by: Sheepy on April 06, 2003, 05:38:41 pm: Make a handel hole along the top and a nice lil video paddy type thing on the side (cam corder type jobby, dunno why butt i can imagine it looking good) and a few other pointless but nice things suck as ammo counters ect. but good start mate :nod:

Post by: Galemp on May 02, 2003, 05:28:02 pm: I'd recommend modeling in each of the LCDs and illuminating them as necessary... but here you go.

Updates, added a videopad thing. Retracts(against the body of the gun) when not needed and is tough enough to survive most things.

Title: Combat Rifle WIP
Post by: Zeronet on May 02, 2003, 06:00:33 pm: The screen has the mission profile, orders and a image of the target, the keypad is confirmation to unlock the sensitive orders and also a keyboard, for various stuff. An integrated PDA system etc.

Post by: Petrarch of the VBB on May 12, 2003, 08:31:47 am: You could stand to lose all of that bottom section in front of the trigger guard.

but it looks good otherwise.

Post by: Sandwich on May 12, 2003, 04:01:59 pm: The whole idea of a bull-pup (magazine behind the grip) rifle is that the grip is so far forward that the center of mass is between the shoulder butt and the grip, thus allowing steady aiming even with one hand. Try switching around the grip with that bottom section.

Also, add in a bunch of greebling on the flat sections.

Post by: Turnsky on May 12, 2003, 08:45:49 pm: you're right, it kinda looks between Halo's AR and a pulse rifle...
