yay my newest model.... -RIFLE

Well here I am, back

After my beautiful biplane, I decided to start working on something better, and I play this game called Tremulous and some friends and I are working on a mod for it, and I decided to redo their rifle. So after a lot of work by a beginner modeler, here is the UNTEXTURED first draft!!! Woo, I know it isn't polished, but that's part of the reason why I am showing it, so that people could give as much feedback as possible.

Also I know it looks a bit fuzzy, but that's because I copied it into MS Paint, so it is not exactly I high detail photo.

It is a based off of a proposed new military semi automatic rifle, and the U.S. Military's new test rifle, the xm8.

Also, again, as much feedback as possible is encouraged!

So... Here it is:

looks good
maybe you could adjust the shoulder rest so it is not so sharp on the subdivisions

Very, very nice model, it's a considerable improvement!
I absolutely love the XM8, I've drawn a lot of inspiration from that rifle over the last few years. Do you think it'll ever go into production?

Thanks, yes I am not quite finished, and the shoulder rest definitely needs work I agree, I was just a little eager to get it out.

Thanks a lot! I think I read somewhere that the xm8 was canceled, but it looks very cool, so I hope something like it will be used.

Leave it to those stupid Bureaucrats out in Washington to cancel yet another good thing...

Great model...
I have a question, what about the line of site for the aiming rectile.
It looks like your line of sight is obstructed with the carrying handle?
Just curious...
