meh, it's pretty good, but it's gonna be hard to top that rifle. BTW, if you're starting on a new gun, where's the pics of the finished, error free normal mapped lowres version of the rifle?

Also, I get the back of the scope, but the front seems a little funky. why is it that
___
( ___ )

shape that sticks out to the left?

Also, I get artistic license, and it is futuristic and the way weapons function is likely to change, but still, the clips on both guns seem to be in very odd places.

I like the unique shape of the front grip, tho. Actually, I like the overall shape. Like the other one, it has a very unique profile. It shall be highly recognizable. =D
