woohoo a Stoner this is great.
Is there a hush puppy made or in the works?

datter

It's on the table and has been brought up... and the Seals shouldn't be released without it, but no-one has made one yet, just haven't gotten around to it yet. If someone can make one and send me the model, that would be great. Evis? Joe?

I could be wrong but I think he means nicks and scratches to give it that used look rather than it looking shiny likes it's just come out of the box.

[DrStrangelove]

Yes, exactly. Long used guns normally have little 'nicks and scarfs' that may come from stones on the ground, from swapping magazins or from jumping in / out of vehicles & choppers.

Just my 2 cents, of cause. I didn't want to start a discussions about 'nicks and scarfs' here.  ;D

I'll see what I can do before the release. I did it all in one sitting, so I didn't push the textures as far as i could have. I won't be able to work on anything for a few days, so I HAD to get it all done, textures, lods, etc in one sitting. Also making everything to look "used" would require everything to be looked at again, not just this weapon, so it may or may not get the worn look. It looks ok as is, so if there is no time for that, then it will still be ok.

Never heard the word scarf used that way

errr... what exacly is hush puppy

If it hasnt been made.. and its supposed to be.. I'm on it

-edited- I got no excuse. I just noticed that there is actualy a picture of a pistol there with a suppressor  

I sent SelectThis an M1911 with and without a supressor.. but if theres another pistol model you want me to make then no problem.. its either that or trying to model a fish (which, by the way, is not working) Just give me the name of the pistol an' I'm on it -edited-

He means having scarves and rags wrapped about parts of the weapon, in theory to reduce metal glare etc in the jungle. More of a movie thing than reality however though I've heard of seals covering parts of their weapons with camo face paint, but that too wasn't widely done.

I have a lot of photos of M16s wrapped in green duct tape, so that is an option.

About the 'scarfing" I do know what you mean Datter... something like the m24 in Ghost Recon.

hehe... no time...no time

About the hushpuppy.... jsut do a google search and do some reading. I'm at work, so I can't give any good info other than the pic I had.

well try this

[FatJoe]

yeah I.. err.. noticed that after a brief search through the net... and after my friend telling me that there were no Sound Suppressed pistols used in Vietnam.. which was ofcourse wrong

I'll be working on it with the pictures I can get.. keep ya all posted

Cheers

FatJoe, I've got a book on Vietnam that has a nice big diagram and the specs on the Smith and Wesson Model 39 "Hushpuppy" pistol.  If you want, I'll scan it and send it to you.  This weapon was made in limited numbers specifically for the Seals and used a special subsonic ammunition that had a specially tipped round to seal the chamber from water.  The Seals could literally emerge from the water and fire the weapon.  The action also could be locked so that when a round was fired there was no mechanical noise of the slide being racked back by the recoil of the round.  Nice little toy, although the suppressor is a bit large by today's standards.

[Schoeler]

Evisc, sorry, I didn't realize how old that post was.  Ah well, its always good to have ideas on the table for future projects, and who knows?  Maybe someone else will see it and take it up.  I agree with you though, aircraft should come first, as use of armor was really pretty limited in Vietnam, the terrain being so uncooperative and all.  I've been thinking of trying to squeeze a 3D modelling class into my school schedule (kinda irrelevant for someone planning to go to law school) for next semester.  Maybe I'll make them myself if I can find time for the class! ;D

[FatJoe]

well.. that might help me a bit.. all I need is a pic of the pistol with the suppressor.. if you got a pic of it then I'd be glad if you could scan it for me and send it to me at joi84@hotmail.com

Cheers
Joe

The pic i posted should have been good enough for a pistol, also if you do a search on google, you can get many links and images. Time really is of the essence at this point.

[Schoeler]

That pic is fine Ebud, but the pic I offered is sorta like a blueprint so I thought it might be helpful, also it has a nice pic of the suppressor.  I'll post it here tomorrow and send it anyway.  Maybe it will help.

[ebud]

That's great. I can't wait to see what happens with this
