Weapon Concept Art

I didn't realise half those lines are actual contours. Still, the giant box on the side could be done away with, and the cocking handle moved to its place (right now it is abnormally small and would smash your cheekbone with every shot if it's reciprocating)

Huh? The cocking handle is down underneath the magazine, it wouldn't be hitting anyone in the face.

Have you ever held or fired a rifle?

The magazine on your design is where your cheek rests. Your face will be pressed pretty tightly against the rifle. The cocking piece is in a great position to knock all your teeth out.

Ive held and fired a rifle, but it was an M1 carbine, which is designed completely differently from this, more likely then not, you wont be plastering your face up against this one, but I do see your point as well, I have another version of the design that includes a larger magazine, and has the cocking lever has been moved forward and down to accommodate.

And here is that design, complete with some coloring, I know it looks a bit cluttered up top, but once I get the animation done, it will make sense.

Still a bit close for comfort, but better.

Non-reciprocating bolt? H&K style?

Well, I have the final version done, and a quick flash animation for the reload.

Suppose, but still very awkward to operate

Ever looked at the H3 beta AR, the cocking lever was higher and farther back than the one in my design :P But yeah, what do you guys think about the reload and the concept?
