This is actually a pretty nice gun concept, it really looks like something NF would have (compare it to the nf pistol1), I would've loved to make this, I'm a bit against shotguns though, but I don't decide whether shotguns will be implemented as I really can't say I care. If I would change anything, I'd move the aiming point on the barrel to the back and replace it with something smaller, that would look kickass. Also the wooden handle (vertical) beneath the barrel doesn't seem to fit in very well, it could do without it, and the spikes on beneath the handle are unnecessary, could integrate the extra part with the handle itself where the combination would make the handle less round and fit in with the bulky appearance of the model. The screws and shoulder grip looks really kickass, love the touches! Keep up the great work.
zenarion did do some fascinating work with it the forward grip i would not make out of 1 peace with the wood there, maybe make it metal with peaces of wood on the sides or else it looks to fragile
It loads P90 style, from what he said in IRC. The P90 has a spiral below the magazine so bullets get rotated into the correct position by the force of the spring at the front of the clip.
I made a 3d mockup of it, to check the first person view. The forward grip is not visible, might only be visible when the gun is tilted during the reload animation, or something similar. It is also changed to be separate from the underside part, so it can be different materials.
This model is damn ugly, needs improvement. the last one looks nice. keep up the good work! casinomatrix.net
I thought I'd join the party and make my own alterations to the image: ZENARIONS VERSION BELOW FOR COMPARISON:
bulky version also for who wants it, to make own version or what ever here is the .png file with all he layers for easy editing the gun (i hope) http://rapidshare.com/files/229824661/gun1stocktest.rar
honestly said i have nothing better to do atm http://rapidshare.com/files/229850405/gun2.png i think i am getting the hang of drawing with a mouse
You registered just to tell him what he admitted (that it's ugly), and tell him the obsolete one he moved on from needs improvement?
Zenarion. The iron sight doesn't work like that. The sights aren't that kind of as you have drawn in the last picture. They work so that when you aling them after each there is no space between the rear sight and front sight. Your latter sights would make it hard to aim accuratelly because those don't tell that much how the gun is aligned. Blizzerd I like your latest shotgun design but I would like to improve it a bit. I'll post a picture and explanations in a moment.
Sights hardly matter on a shotgun considering the spread, unless you have a shotgun specifically engineered so that one pellet always comes out the middle of the buck and flies true like a rifle round.
That depends on how much choke the barrel of the shotgun has. And if its smooth and can use slugs then its also quite handy
Trust me weedy, I know how ironsights work. It's just that when designing weapons for Empires, people seem to deviate from what "the norm" is, and go with what looks cool. Noticed that the BE Assault Carabine has rails under the ironsights, where they are completely useless?
