[WIP] Sidearm thingy

ok, spent some time roughing it out, trying to settle on the proportion.

Obviously some things are missing.
Thoughts?

Make bottom piece longer.

Personally I think it looks less like a full gun, and more like part of one.

If you added more onto it that might turn out very nicely.

Well originaly is was longer, but I shortened it because I wanted the overall appearance of it to be smaller.
In fact looking at it now I want to make the bottom section even smaller.
I want it to look like a small elegant weapon, one that's almost more for show than combat.

Does that make sense?

I don't much care for the "upside down" design, but i think you can pull it off by adding something to the top. A laser pointer or ammo counter or something interesting up there might do the trick.

Turn the top into some sort of battery pack

yeah there will definatly be some sort of ammo gauge on top of the clip/battery that i have not yet made.

Make it sound like Link Gun from UT3 then you'll be in business.

I think it'd look better if you held it differently. I like the upside-down idea, but wouldn't it look cooler if it was held sideways? Like, have a sight on the side of it so you could actually aim. Also, switch the part where the trigger is... it just seems easier to shoot that way.

Ignore the "pew pew pew" I was just being silly. Lul

I think you might be on to something there with the "pew pew"

I've never really cared for the whole sideways thing mostly because the difference between holding a gun horizontal or vertical is very small. If I put a sight on it it would be on the top thing, next to the clip.

Speaking of which, here is the clip
I'm not happy with the round things comeing out the front of it but I think you get the idea of what I'm shooting for.
It's often diffucult to translate the images in my head into something logical and pretty in 3d.
