oh man
sure is halomaps in here
look i also made a gauss
Considering I am not a professional modeller, yes I would think that would be rather obvious.
Also, considering that you have a gigantic thread of your own that is specifically dedicated to your work, I think it would be best if you were to post your work there, instead of here, especially when the only reason you are posting your work is to make me look like an idiot.

Bobblehob, I'm not saying you didn't put any effort into it, I'm saying you didn't put it into the right places. Instead of designing it from the ground up trying to think up every potential problem with the gun and build a solution for it, you should have researched what systems have already been implemented in order to solve those problems.
Take barrel strain due to resting, for instance. The solution to this is a floating barrel. Look it up. See what it is. It works, it's awesome, it's in use in several firearms around the world. I'm telling you that the bar you have underneath does close to nothing to brace it, from an engineering standpoint, having just taken a class on static mechanics.
As for exposed wiring, have you ever seen any piece of standard-issue military hardware that looks that cobbled together? We're not talking about field mods, prototypes, or battlefield inventions, we are talking about standard issue kit. I haven't. Not ever. The closest I can think of is the Chauchat machine gun in WWI, and they learned not to repeat that mistake because it got a lot of people killed.
It doesn't matter if you want it to be practical or necessary, anyone worth his weight in designing guns is going to roll his eyes when they see ignorant (and I mean no offense with the use of the word) design. Halo's designs make more sense than yours, and they aren't at all realistic except for the DMR and Sniper Rifle. Even Gears of War has more sense in the shape of its firearms and it at least explains why the hell we have a chainsaw bayonet in the first place. You have to justify your aesthetic design. Why does it look that way? Why does it look like a cobbled-together piece of junk that could break if dropped rather than a solid piece of equipment that can be thrown and still work fine?
