it's ok, but a bit too chunky for my tastes. Try rounding the bottom.

Too blocky for something modern. If it's sci-fi you could get away with it by modeling in an opening with exposed wiring, a keypad, some random tubes or something. Or make it look like it's been armor plated.

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:

the pulse rifle from aliens has sharp angels but isnt a foot wide like that one!

 
btw, looks like a cross between an FAMAS and the Moritia out of Starship Troopers.

good start, but it needs more detail, less simpleness

I'd recommend modeling in each of the LCDs and illuminating them as necessary... but here you go.

Thanks :)

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

It's good but what's with the keypad? To lock it with a code or something? :wtf:

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.

You could stand to lose all of that bottom section in front of the trigger guard.

but it looks good otherwise.

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.

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Doesn't it look like the gun from Halo? Or has it been too long since I've played it?

do not torment the sleep deprived artist, he may be vicious when cornered,
in case of emergency, administer caffeine to the artist,
he will become docile after that,
and less likely to stab you in the eye with a mechanical pencil
