Weapon Design

[Coldfire]

Since it seems to be a popular Idea right now, I'm starting a thread where people can post thier own custom weapon designs that they'd like to see a addon-maker adopt.

For example, my custom assault rifle designs (pictures at the bottom of the page):

M-70 assault rifle stats:
7.62mm NATO
Semi-auto or three-round burst firing options.
Recoil-absorbant buttstock.
Detachable carrying handle.

M-7C Carbine stats:
Cut-down version of the M-70.
6.8mm
Semi- or Fully-automatic firing options.
Recoil-absorbant buttstock.
Modular design, allowing easy field modifications.

Hope this thread doesn't get me in trouble with the moderators

Well my Assault Rifle is a Toploader like the P90 , it has an 30 round clip 5.56mm Nato ammunition. Looks a bit like the Halo Rifle. The magazine would eject after it is empty like in the M1 Garand , but it can be changed without it is empty too.

It has an Targetcam which send the dates to the aim system to make the Soldier the targeting easier.

Nice, the P90 is a beautiful weapon!

Edit: Oh, yea, and mine.... I was into the whole modular design when I made it...

[Coldfire]

US-Marine: I like your Idea of a top-loader, I have a few suggestions about design though:

1) A top loader would work better with case-less ammo... it makes it easier to deal with spent casings.

2) I'd have it be a to-feeding weapon; I.E. you put a clip in through the top of the gun and the clip falls out the bottom when your done with it.

I definatly like how you integrated a camera system into your weapon... they should have had that in Halo . I hope you don't mind but I modified your design a bit.

Another thing: I added a varient of the CAM system shown above and added it to the M70, enjoy

nice weapons well the Halo Rifle has a flashlight and Ammocounter instead of a targetcam , i have tried to cross my favorite weapons , the M1 Garand , P90 and Halo Rifle

But as far as i know has the P90 30rounds too

These are all good, but the tend to dwell on the SMGs and Assault Rifles.

Here is the GS M421A LMG.

It would be pretty cool if all of this got put into a Futuristic Soldiers addon or something.

Here is the GS M101 Assault Shotgun

12 Guage
10 round clip.

High power over short range. (As with all shotguns)  ;D

Seeing as how I had nothing to do, I started on the M-7C :

I could do with someone to texture it when done, I'm.. not the best at that

Sweet! Great work I'll see if i can draw some different angles of it to help.

Edited up

I suppose I'll have a go at texturing it tomorrow, if I fail, I'll post up the model for someone else to texture

Great work!

A few points/suggestions:

1) the little grooves along the side of the weapon don't g all the way through, they're clips for under-barrel attacments (such as a grenade launcher)

2) The forward sights need to be completed (right now you have it as a simple block above the barrel)

Again, excelent work

Also, i did a few pictures of different angles. I have a front view and a down-the-sights view done, as well as a colored side-view

[DBR_ONIX]

Made the front-scope thing more detailed, and is inline with the dot-scope

Brattacus has agreed to try and texture it, I'll post when he's done (When, not if )
