Need crits on gun concepts

[MadMechwarrior]

I need some constructive critisizime on these gun concepts. They are set to be in a space combat mod set in the future. I mostly need crits on there use and make sure everything is in proportion. For instance if the stock is too long or the barrel too short or whatever. Also things like clip placement, I just need to know if these guns could actually be used if they were maneufactured today. These are for the Eternal Silence Mod (http://es2.freeservers.com)

Assault Rifle - Butt looks too long, maybe shorten it up a bit and make the barrel longer

Machine Gun - Looks good, but I'm assuming this is a heavy assault weapon, so I doubt there would be a clip, rather a ammo box + belt.

Sub Machine Gun - Looks fine the way it is.

Assault Rifle Carbine - Link didn't work

Shotgun - same as the assault rifle, butt is too long, and the barrel (or area close behind barrel) seems too short. Also, handle + trigger seem too close to the barrel.

Machine Gun - Link didn't work

And regardless of my suggestions, the concepts look great in general. Good Work.

The links seem to work on and off... if it doesnt work try pasting it into your address bar or clicking it at different times. I tried em all and they work, if you get that direct link message try again

Edit: and thats not a clip on the MG, its a box facing the other way

good concepts. I like the second machine gun the most.

 

[Slaine]

Your weapon concepts most definately have an appropriate future feel to them - a decidedly angular design.

The look is consistent with all your models (bullpup layouts, lots of geometry), and I can't say I've seen any guns that look too much like them. Seems you've put some thought and creativity into this. Good job.

Nice looks. The only thing I see as odd is the butts on the assualt and shotgun, you couldnt handle them if they where real.

very nice is this the eternal silence from bf42?

 

[IchI]

hmmmm, they look prity good. The last 2 are good the rest kinda just look wrong. Are they unfinished?

Most of the others won't work at the moment, so I'll just comment on the SMG. First off, those are some pretty big bullets to be coming out of an SMG. I think it would look better if it was a little thinner. Unless, of course, the bullets are in two vertical stacks. I think it would be better to do it like that anyway, since 10 rounds won't last long with an SMG's high rate of fire.

Reguardless, it looks pretty good to me. Hopefully if I get a chance to check again later I'll be able to see the others.

Yes this is the sequel to eternal silence from bf42. I am still the leader, however the concept was totally redesigned.

Yes the bullets are in 2 stacks.

IchI: Concepts are never finished. Im asking if these would be valid, usable guns in the real world. Can you elaberate on what looks weird.

I have already established the butts of the assault rifle and shotgun are too big. Any other crits other than "it just looks wrong". I want to try to make these guns as believable as possible.

Im gonna attach the 3 pics that dont work

I like them, Im so glad to see mods that arent all realistic.

 

[Okt]

Lookin sweet man! Did any of them start as pencil sketches? I can't wait to see them modeled!:cheers:

 

[Jhahn2k4]

You have just inspired me to make some of my own concepts thx

 

[Majestic XII]

I like all of them, but as some ppl said, some weapons are too long.

Keep up the good work and i hope you fix your homepage soon!

 

[MadMechwarrior]

thanks alot guys, i've proposed some of the changes to my concept artist. The only thing is he totally hates the first AR (the one with the grenade launcher). He says it looks like crap but I dissagree. Anyways he might send me some new ones so i'll post em here.

 

[JunkieXL]

I really like your concept and design. Keep it up.

I noticed that most of the weapons don't have trigger guards. The militia carbine has one, but others don't. I can't see the military (or civilians either) deciding those are no longer necessary...
