I think it looks really cool, a really original idea. I also like your rendering style, It looks nice.
Also nugget, Wouldn't it put more strain on the hand/wrist holding it with the palm facing down, than with the thumb pointing upwards?

I don't think so... Gangsters(gangstas) hold guns the wrong way all the time and they seem to be doing fine. :V
I look at these two images and think of the way an AK's magazine is put into the receiver. The front contacts first and gets rocked back into the receiver. I think this could benefit from a similar style, only in reverse, back contacts first then rocks forward into place. With it coming out straight up, it just seems a bit too power tool-ish. Speaking of power tools, you may want to also check out the way batteries are secured and apply a similar style.Quote:

exelent idea, thanks.
I don't really like how the barrel is down below, but the modeling looks excellent. Keep up the good work, +rep man.
Alright, redid the top part and I'm much happier, what do yall think?
It's supposed to be transparent. I spend some time playing with the material to make it look like it has some depth to it but nothing really successful yet.

Also, for those of call comlimenting the rendering, I discovered it only looks good from one side, and that makes me sad. :(
Also, inside that little crevace I cut out will be a button of some sort, like a safety or clip release.

I think its very creative, I like it, it seems like itd be cool if it was fully automatic and would look amazing if someone dual wielded it. Almost like an inhuman remake of the smg's from halo 2.
It really reminds me of the plasma pistol/rifle, but more uh I guess more rough, or something.
It seems like it would sort of resemble an uzi, except it would fire plasma projectiles not very accurate but with a high ROF. (would be more accurate the slower you shot it though.)
E: Oh wow, had no idea there was 3 pages, give me a second, I'll make some comments on the model (all the above I just typed was on the concept drawing lolz.)
hmm... the model looks nice so far, but its definately missing something on the top, you need to make it obvious that there is some type of a sight on the top, other wise the gun will look like its ratardely being held upside down on an accident, you need to make something on the top that sort of makes it look like it was built to be held that way, as for the clip, it looks good, but like I said try to design some sort of sight that is obvious looking so it looks right. Right now it jus looks like there is too much detail on the bottom part of the gun vs the top. I also might want to suggest the part where the handle of the gun transitions to the top section/clip/sight of the gun, try to make that transition better.
In your concept drawing you really don't see that spot, but I think it would benefit from having a smoother transition then what you modeled.
Another thing you might want to consider is, the part where the "handle/grip" is for removing the clip, not that but underneath that, if you compare your model to the concept, the concept makes it seem like its less round, theres a (not sure if this would be the right word to use but...) contour line, thats sort of missing from your model thats present in the concept drawing, and I think it would look nicer with that in the model.
Idk keep working on it though, it looks nice so far. I love the bottom of it, but the top needs to look like the top of the gun even tho the barrels on the bottom. (some sort of sight to indentify it). Edit: Or, or you could do something really radical with the trigger, that way you know its meant to be held that way.
handle grip detail would be nice
I do have one more thing to add that concerns me when it comes to the current design with it being held upside down.
Theres nothing to counter the recoil, the recoil is going to be much more obvious due to the new placement of the barrel, and right now theres nothing to really help counter the recoil, like, instead of the recoil pushing the gun up slowly, it seems like it would try to fire downwards, which isn't very good when it comes to being practical...
One idea is you could have some type of counter weight by making the top of the gun extend back a little further maybe.
