I like how you've improvised the wooden bits, but the stock needs neatening a bit.Wasder said:I made a rather bad tommy gun. I don't care aabout technical criticism as I generally know jack shit about guns, but feel free to comment about the aesthetics.
Ya know, I actually like that idea lol it looks pretty good too. And yea, I'd clean up the stock conection just a tad.. Although atm I have no idea how you'd do it. And for the front grip... I wonder if it should be brought up just a little so it isn't mostly floating. Having such a small connection to the gun itself wouldn't be very safe lolWasder said:I made a rather bad tommy gun.

I see nothing wrong with the SMG, but I have some criticism for the sniper. A ranger plate does not go on a PMAG because they already have the easily-gripped bottoms. It would be pointless as well as impossible. Your scope is a bit too far backward, and the bi-pod looks ugly. The rifle itself is sweet, though. Love what you did with the stock.ygetoff said:[http://img63.imageshack.us/i/myweapon48.jpg/]

Two creations:
The first, a sniper loadout, with a heavily modified Mk. 12 rifle (silencer, rail cover, new rails, hidden backup iron sights, new stock, 20-round PMAG w/Magpul, bipod, new pistol grip, and scope) and an MP5kSD-PDW w/RDS. As this is a realistic-style creation, I welcome any criticism, technical or aesthetic.
The second, a rather fanciful new weapon, with top-mounted GL, silencer, lower-positioned .50 parts. I know that this is pretty much impossible, so aesthetic criticism only please.
They would work, the handguard isn't impeding the firing action but it's not a very logical design. It just seems like a rather bad idea to allow the expanding gasses to vent through something meant to protect your hand. So, working;I suppose, practical;not really.As far as accuracy is concerned, it will be less accurate but only because of the reduced barrel length.sooperman said:Hay guise, I need opinions. Would a gun still be accurate if the barrel came exactly flush with the end of the hand guard, and did not extend any further? I have concept art, and I and want to know if it would be a practical design.
Both guns have barrels; they simply stop at the end of the weapon.
Technically, your gun is a write-off. The PMAG is too far up, the bipod doesn't attach that way and the stock is far too insubstantial to perform on a machine gun.KdS_22 said:

The classic gangster Thompson front grip also appears to be barely attached; it actually slides onto a metal bar mounted under the barrel and fixes to it with a vertical screw. You're right about the stock, though; the way it's placed it would be impossible to get your thumb around the pistol grip.LordMalachi said:
In addition to what others have said, I must say I'm not fond of that G36 handguard; it looks like it's just been stuck on rather than actually being part of the gun.ygetoff said:
Obvious issues:ygetoff said:
Well, really the main issue is I can't see what's supposed to make it anything but a long-barrel assault rifle; a modern LMG will usually either have an outsized box magazine or some type of belt feed, not a totally normal assault rifle-sized mag.KdS_22 said:
Ok thanks. Here is the new version. I think I fixed most of the problems with it, besides what Evil Tim said about the magazine. I guess it's really more of a heavy assault rifle than an LMG, but I'm not very knowledgeable on the qualifications for those terms so I'll let y'all decide.NimbleJack3 said:Technically, your gun is a write-off.

But you've indicated you don't know much about guns, so I'll ignore that.
Aesthetically, it's not bad. I can see how you would use it, gripping the foregrip with the bipod on the ground. Just refine it technically and it will look better.
Ah ha, much better. The lines are a bit weird at the front of the gun and the PMAG still doesn't look right, but that's probably just me. Otherwise, well done.KdS_22 said:Ok thanks.

Ooooo I did not know that lol I suppose it works just fine then, but I don't understand why they would have done it that way in the first place... I might have to look it up a lil bit.Evil Tim said:
I can patch up functional flaws, such as the hand guard thing, but it would work, right? I mean, the SCAR doesn't have that problem, and neither would a SMG. The setup I had in mind was similar to the P90, but shorter because of the barrel.Thamous said:They would work, the handguard isn't impeding the firing action but it's not a very logical design.

I guess it would "work" so long as their were no problems chambering the next round. Doesn't seem practical to me though. It looks cumbersome and would be a bit difficult to aim. It simply seems like a better idea to carry a pistol as a stand alone sidearm as opposed to an attachment.sooperman said:Hey kids, it's opinion time again! I got the idea from my older brother, and I want to know if you fine people think it would work.
The idea is that instead of a fore-grip, you mounted a pistol under your barrel. It would allow you a second weapon to use while you are reloading, and it would be an alternative to, say, a sniper round at mid-range. I have a sample, and I want to know if the design is feasible.
Two spare pistol mags are shown on the far side of the rifle. The pistol can be reloaded normally, and is cocked by sliding the frame backwards, instead of pulling on the slide.
The concept is quite cool, but how does the gun fire? When the slide attempts to move backwards, the whole frame will instead jump forward. Perhaps if you attach the frame to the rifle rather than the slide?sooperman said:Hey kids, it's opinion time again!

Looks nice, I like the shape of the front. Would look even better if you turned the torch into a helical magazine.MeXR said:I was bored so i just threw stuff out there hehe
feel free to give opinions though
Your design is an improvement on mine, methinks, but that was the other side of the coin; you wouldn't be able to cock it. With the slide mounted, the frame would slide like a pump-action shotgun. Also, it would theoretically be just as accurate as the rifle(at mid-range) because it would be in line with the iron sights.NimbleJack3 said:
