I made a few Halo guns, and someone else made one, too. So here they are.
This isn't my best work. The front grip was just kinda tacked on at the end, and it didn't really work out the way I wanted it to.

My best gun so far. Keep in mind that I've only made 2, and the sniper kinda sucked. So this takes the cake by default.

And this is an Assault Rifle, which I shamelessly stole from p4riah over on page 9. All credit for this amazing gun goes to him. : )

I wish I had had time to put more detail on this. Without the "SPNKR," it doesn't feel quite right...

This didn't go well at all. There just aren't the right parts for it. But it still semi-resembles something good.

wow, you sure wrote a lot, and deserve props for that, but most, if not all of your models are either: too heavy, impossible to operate, ergonomically broken, too cluttered, unfeasible to manufacture, or just plain wrong (i.e. magazines always curve forwards because the base of the bullet is wider than the tip.) but good job with the creativity, even if some of the ideas are a little far fetched, its just my opinion, so whateverStrategia said:I'm just going to dump everything I have in here. (Spoiler-tagged, of course.) I'm including short descriptions now, so I'll also repost guns I've put up before.
FN/H&K Model 2022
First weapon I made, so IMO one of the ugliest. P90 grip, G36 internal receiver mechanism re-chambered for 7.62x51mm NATO, holds two 30-round mags at once. Far rear bullpup configuration allows for very long barrel resulting in high accuracy. G36 pattern carrying handle with integrated 2x scope and reflex sight, underbarrel grenade launcher with integrated laser, Picatinny rail on forward handguard.
*****
Barrett M122
Intended as a heavy assault rifle used by specialised heavy attack squads, but used mainly as a squad support weapon. Combines a 7.62x54mm assault rifle (intended for special custom AP rounds but also accepting 7.62x51mm NATO), fed from a 30-round curved box magazine, with a 12.7x99mm .50cal semi-automatic rifle (intended for custom .50 Barrett Special AP-HE rounds but commonly firing regular .50 BMG) fed from a 10-round box magazine. It is used to great effect in urban environments, the .50cal rounds easily penetrating many types of cover, negating many of the defensive advantages of urban terrain.
*****
M16A6
The M16A5 was intended as an incremental upgrade of the A4, changing or replacing dozens and dozens of very minor things to make sure the gun was up-to-date for modern conflicts. However, the result of all these very minor changes was a gun that was so chaotically put-together that it turned out to be a total failure. It was unreliable in sandy and humid conditions, was more difficult to field-strip and tended to jam the magazine in the port partway during loading. Thus, the decision was made that the M16A6 would be redesigned almost from the ground up. The result is a reliable, accurate weapon, popular with the soldiers who are using it already and set to be widely issued as a replacement for the M16A4. Some of the most major changes include a longer barrel to improve accuracy, an integrated red dot sight on the carrying handle and a standard integrated M212 grenade launcher.
*****
Beretta FdA 07
A fairly standard, relatively unremarkable assault rifle by Beretta, the FdA (Fucile d'Assalto) 07 is a 5.56mm rifle fed from a 30-round magazine, whereas many other modern assault rifles have stepped back up to 7.62mm. As such, it is slightly weaker than other modern rifles, but it does possess a higher rate of fire than usual and it is more controllable than 7.62mm weapons. Its only other noteworthy features are the integrated 4x scope and large Picatinny rail system on the front handguard. FdA 07s popular with Italian soldiers, and Beretta is exporting them in large quantities to South and South-East Asia, selling them to military forces who want to step up from their old AK-47s, M16s or derivatives of either, but don't have the money to buy more powerful weapons or design their own.
*****
H&K MKar 218
The MKar 218 started life as a compact, close-quarters submachine gun with a short barrel and no buttstock whatsoever. However, the project's goals gradually changed. The first major decision in a new direction was to have the weapon fire 5.56mm NATO rifle ammunition, for greater stopping power than pistol rounds would provide; and then, another H&K design team released the MP11, which turned out to be an instant success. Not wanting to saturate the market and compete with their own design, company leaders told the MKar design team to either modify or discard their project. By then, the gun had evolved significantly from its initial SMG design, and it already fired rifle ammunition, so all the designers had to do was slap on a buttstock and call it a carbine. The MKar 218 hit the market as a heavy weapon for law enforcement or a light rifle-calibre assault carbine for the military. It is widely used by European law enforcement agencies, while most military clients come from Central Europe. It is popular for use in sandy conditions, because of its reliability and easy cleaning. It comes standard with a laser sight integrated into the foregrip.
*****
H&K G44
The G44 is a modular design that can be customised tremendously. Many basic construction features come with several alternative options (for instance, shorter, carbine-length barrels, fixed or folding stocks, different pistol grips etc. are available, and the many Picatinny rails allow for further customisation). The standard "basic" design comes with an XM8-pattern sliding stock, a detachable G36-pattern carrying handle with integrated red dot sight on the top Picatinny rail, a detachable M203 grenade launcher with integrated pistol grip on the lower rail and a 70-round drum magazine. The M203 is one of the most popular features of the basic design; the pistol grip allows it to function as a separate support weapon when detached. Other common features include different carrying handles and iron/red dot sights, scopes, bipods, laser sights, different grenade launchers, 20-, 30- and 50-round box magazines, 100-round drum magazines and more.
*****
IMI "Lion"
The Lion is a recent design, rarely seen outside of Israel. It is a compact, powerful assault carbine firing 7.62x51mm NATO rifle ammunition fed from a 30-round box, however its receiver incorporates a classified "recoil inhibitor" design that allows longer, accurate bursts of fire. The exact nature of this ihibitor is unknown, but it is rumoured to be under further development, perhaps leading to weapons with negligible recoil in the future. The Lion is currently used as a front-line weapon by special forces and elite assault troops, and reports from the field speak highly of it. Plans exist to have it issued as a regular service weapon to many troops, replacing most military SMGs and assault rifles outright.
FN AR130
The AR130 is a very recent design, not widely seen on the market yet. Following in the vein of the Model 2022, it uses an adapted P90-pattern comfort grip and a far-rear bullpup design. It is a combination weapon, firing both 5.56mm and 7.62mm ammunition, with an ambidextrous switch between the two. It is largely an experimental design, a proof of concept, for future assault rifles by FN, and as such it is not being mass-produced, nor is it intended for actual combat use.
*****
Colt M20
The Colt M20 is a fairly compact assault rifle based around parts of the M16 and the H&K XM8, produced under licence. It uses a composite stock that absorbs part of the recoil, allowing for more accurate sustained fire. The receiver is that of the M16, with an XM8-pattern handguard around a slightly longer-than-usual barrel. The integrated grenade launcher is fed from a magazine of 4 grenades, allowing soldiers to pepper an area with explosives while keeping reload time low - the time it takes to reload the magazine is barely different from that of loading a new grenade in any other common single-shot underbarrel launcher.
*****
Bofors Ak-S1
The Ak-S1 is a weapon designed by legendary arms manufacturer Bofors specifically for the Swedish military. It is the first successful original Swedish assault rifle; hence, S1. It fires 7.62x51mm rifle ammunition fed from a 30-round box magazine. The shoulder stock doubles as pistol grip, and despite its low mounting, it works as an in-line stock, directing the recoil into the user's shoulder allowing for more accurate fire. It is somewhat short for an assault rifle, but its barrel length precludes a carbine designation. It comes with an integrated laser sight and licence-built M203 grenade launcher. It is currently the standard service weapon of the Swedish military, and it is popular with its users; however, only a handful of examples exist outside the military, and then only in Sweden. A few of these belong to soldiers who retired and were allowed to keep their weapons, with a few dozen others having been offered on the civilian market in dubious legality. As such, little is known about the internal design of this weapon. The grenade launcher is fully integrated; all "civilian" models show marks where the launcher was removed by power tools. No known variants exist.
*****
FN LRAR
The Long Range Assault Rifle is a more practical and conventional assault rifle design by FN. It was designed in an attempt to create an assault rifle that was capable of marksman-grade accuracy by standard; as such, it is the only assault rifle in the world that comes with an integrated bipod as standard. It fires 5.56mm NATO, and it is designed to accept FN EGLM grenade launchers if desired, though these are so common they're almost standard. It comes with a Picatinny rail-mounted red dot sight, range selector, flip-up front sight and a flip-up rear leaf sight that functions as a second red dot and passive IR filter.
*****
AK-47 MOD21
The AK-47 21st Century Model is a modernisation project aimed at converting the more than ubiquitous AK-47 (and derivative) receivers into a relatively cheap weapon that can compete with modern designs. However, the receiver proved to be too outdated for this, so instead the design was modified to be marketed as a cheap heavy weapon for law enforcement agencies. The front handguard has been redesigned from scratch, and is constructed out of durable composites and metal alloys, with a custom mounting system on the bottom that accepts a handful of specially-designed modules to maximise profit (e.g. you can't mount superior modules by other manufacturers on it). The most popular module, in fact almost the only module to be sold, is the Skeleton shotgun system. The Skeleton fits snugly against the magazine, and actually incorporates guidance rails to help load the mag. It holds 4 12-gauge shotgun shells, sllowing it to be used both as an entry shotgun as well as a combat weapon. A unique feature of the design is the ability of the Skeleton to load a single .50 BMG round instead of shotgun shells; this is a complicated process and has to be done before deployment, but it does provide the user with one exceptionally powerful round that can shoot through anything, be it body armour or walls. The recoil is immense, and the shot is only accurate out to 40 metres at best, but Russian law enforcement specialists have praised its ability to kill anyone behind cover (and, if necessary, human shields, though these rumours are hotly denied by the agents in question).
*****
Bushmaster C8
The C8 assault carbine is popular with some of the richer countries in South-East Asia, Africa and South America. Despite its being longer than usual for a carbine, it is still classified as such, and it is intended to be used with its foregrip instead of holding the handguard in the off-hand like a rifle. It fires 5.56mm NATO from 30-round STANAG magazines inserted at an angle, and it has an integrated red dot sight that can also function as a 2x/4x scope and a laser sight in the foregrip. It is easy to handle and remains fairly accurate during bursts of fire, but after a second or two the weapon's recoil does start to affect the aim. It is generally considered to be a slightly substandard weapon, effective but not optimal, and is often derogatorily (and not quite accurately) called the "poor man's assault rifle" because it is often used as such.
Colt Viper (M22)
The Colt Viper, designated M22 when in service with the American military, is a state-of-the-art compact submachine gun intended for close-quarters engagements of any kind. The buttstock and flip-up iron sights allow users to aim fairly accurately, yet they are small enough not to get in the way when running. The iron sights are rarely used in very close-quarters combat such as urban terrain, however; for that, the integrated laser sight suffices. The weapon fires standard-issue .45 ACP fed from a high-capacity 60-round magazine. The most unique feature, however, is the firing rate toggle on the off-hand side. This allows users to switch between Safe, Semi (for training purposes), and 300, 600, 900 and 1200rpm firing rates. 600 and 900rpm are most commonly used; the 900 and 1200rpm modes overheat the barrel after some time.
*****
Beretta 132
This weapon is a fairly recent design, a compact SMG intended for law enforcement personnel based around Beretta's extensive know-how of pistol design. It is essentially built around a pistol, although this is now barely recognisable. It fires 9x19mm Parabellum from a 60-round magazine, holding two stacks of 30 rounds each. To allow law enforcement personnel used to operating pistols to pick up and learn how to use the weapon quickly, it functions essentially like a pistol; the top slide is drawn back to load a fresh round into the magazine after reloading, and rounds are ejected from a port at the top. It features fixed front and rear iron sights, as well as a flip-up rear passive IR sight for improved visibility in low-light conditions. The foregrip allows users to maintain accurate continuous fire, helped by the low power of the ammunition. It is a compact, reliable weapon, very suitable for law enforcement use but too weak and short-ranged to serve in the military. It is popular with law enforcement agencies in Italy and the Balkans.
*****
H&K MP11
The MP11 was designed from the ground up as a no-nonsense assault weapon. It fires custom high-powered armour-piercing .45cal ammunition fed from a 70-round drum magazine at 1000rpm, resulting in incredible stopping power. The short buttstock isn't very comfortable to use, and neither are the rifle-type iron sights, but then again it's not meant to be particularly accurate beyond about 100m and it's often fired from the hip. A vertical foregrip attachment is available, but this doesn't come standard. Often, the iron sights are used as a mounting for laser sights. The rifle sights are still retained, however, and H&K knows of it; the fact that they were even still present on the weapon when it was released was a design oversight, and converting the manufacturing lines now (and designing kits to convert existing MP11s to a newer model) would not be cost-efficient.
*****
ArmaLite AR15S (M16S1)
The M16 is a prolific weapon, and there are tons of rifles of obsolete variants or derivatives still in use in the world today. In response to this, ArmaLite has designed the AR15S (M16S1 in US Military service), a conversion kit for old AR15/M16 receivers. This is the first of a series of such kits ArmaLite is currently developing, aimed at turning the millions of AR15 receivers still at large into powerful, modern weapons - making a tidy profit for ArmaLite in the process. The AR15S is a submachine gun variant, replacing the stock with a much shorter one and installing a much shorter barrel with an entirely different barrel shroud and forward grip. The grip comes with an attachment for a flashlight or a laser sight, although the kit comes standard with the flashlight and the laser has to be purchased separately. The weapon lacks forward iron sights, as it is intended to be used solely at short ranges, where the rear sights - or just firing from the hip - should be accurate enough. It is already a fairly popular product, and many South American and South-East Asian military forces are purchasing it in large quantities. It is also in use with the US Military itself, though in small numbers; currently, only a handful of SEAL teams and other special operations units use it.
*****
Benelli S1 "Reaper"
This weapon is a very unexpected instant classic by Benelli. Its most unique feature should be immediately obvious - it is actually "two guns in one", or to put it more accurately, there are two entirely separate, distinct mechanisms inside the receiver. Its magazine ports are almost a straight copy of the MP5's, allowing it to use some of the most common SMG magazine types in the world. There is considerable ire between H&K and Benelli over this, with H&K citing breach of contract and Benelli citing fair use within terms, and speculation is rife about whether H&K will sue Benelli for breach of contract first, or whether Benelli will sue for slander, or whether the dispute will be solved in a less sophisticated manner. Nonetheless, the S1, nicknamed "Reaper", is very popular with some people, and it has already seen its fair share of use in military CQB and law enforcement operations. The weapon's two mechanisms both have a firing rate of 1200rpm, resulting in a massive wrist-breaking 2400rpm effective firing rate. It has been likened to a fragmentation grenade for its ability to clear a room, and the damage it does to the walls while doing so. The foregrip is absolutely necessary, but even the strongest, most experienced users find it extremely difficult to control due to its massive rate of fire. The iron sights are rarely used, as most users prefer the integrated laser sight while firing from the hip - stories of people breaking their clavicles are unfortunately not exaggerated.
H&K Mk.44
The Mk.44 is a specialised extended-range pistol, firing custom 11.5x51mm ammunition, essentially .45cal rounds with a rifle-length cartridge. Because of the size of the rounds, the magazine only holds 4, point-up, in rows of 2. The power of the cartridges results in significant recoil and a fairly long cycle time, while the low magazine capacity necessitates frequent reloading. However, despite all these shortcomings, it is popular with some specialists (such as snipers, machine gunners and officers), who favour it over other, more compact weapons. Its match-grade extended barrel and high-powered rounds give it a tremendous range and accuracy advantage over regular pistols, and this is precisely what it has been designed for. It is not intended as a close-quarters self-defence sidearm; rather, it is a compact, accurate, powerful secondary weapon.
*****
Glock 31 "Talon"
The "Talon" is marketed as a Stürmpistole, or Assault Pistol. It uses an off-the-shelf receiver and slide, but beyond that it has been modified almost beyond recognition. The weapon has a permanent flashlight attachment, an extended barrel, rifle-grade iron sights, a 30-round 9x19mm magazine and a sliding buttstock mounted on the left-hand side of the weapon. It is popular with law enforcement agencies and is being sold all over the world, but it is most popular on the American civilian market as a competition pistol, because of its unusual characteristics (its high capacity, stability and rifle-grade iron sights allow rapid, accurate fire).
*****
Steyr HCP
The Heavy Combat Pistol is just that. In fact, it's barely small enough to be called a pistol; it's twice the size of most, and heavy to boot. It is fed 5.56mm NATO rifle ammunition from a 6-round magazine, giving it much greater stopping power than other pistols - and also much more recoil. It has a sliding buttstock for improved stability
*****
Beretta 118
The Beretta 118 is a refinement of Beretta's technology, based on the 92FS model. Its barrel is one and a half times longer, and it has rifle-grade sights; it also fires newly developed 9x38mm Beretta Pro lengthened ammunition, twice as long as the old 9x19mm Parabellum, resulting in a significant range increase. The lengthened barrel, iron sights and laser sight impart a very high increase in accuracy over the Beretta 92. It is commonly used by specialists, officers, security personnel and law enforcement divisions throughout the world.
*****
FN CTW
The Compact Tactical Weapon is FN's entry into the recently discovered market for tactical pistols, compact, pistol-calibre weapons with large magazines and better performance than regular pistols. The CTW was based around the Five-seveN frame, and fires FN's trademark 5.7x28mm cartridge. The gun's other notable features, common amongst tactical pistols, include a foregrip, a sliding stock and an extended barrel. The weapon features sunken iron sights in the structure of the slide and at the tip of the barrel.
*****
Colt Aggressor
The Aggressor is one of the few weapon types in the world classified under the new name "heavy pistol", larger-than-average weapons firing rifle ammunition. It is one of the heaviest around, firing full-power 7.62x51mm rifle rounds fed from a 10-round box magazine. It has an integrated foregrip with laser sight. It hasn't been issued as a service weapon anywhere, but various law enforcement agencies and military forces are conducting tests with it, and preliminary reports - as well as reports from civilian users - praise the weapon's sheer stopping power and surprising accuracy for a pistol, but it is also notorious for its high recoil, severely limiting its rate of fire.
Enfield Hunter
The Hunter is a British bolt-action sniper rifle produced by the Royal Small Arms Factory, responsible for many classic weapons. The Hunter, while not as recognisable or legendary as the Bren or SA85, is nonetheless another very unique design. It is fed from a 15-round radial magazine surrounding the breech (spent casings are ejected through a port on the underside of the rifle), and its integrated scope can be fully adjusted for environmental conditions, can magnify 4x, 12x and 20x and can be mounted with IR night-sights. The most unique feature, however, is the Adaptable Calibre system; if the magazine and breech are empty, the rifle's calibre can actually be adjusted between .300, .303, .308 and (optionally) .311cal rounds, and the barrel is easily detached and replaced with an appropriate one. This has a slight impact on its accuracy at long range, but it does give the user tremendous flexibility, allowing the use of all of the most common standard-calibre sniper rounds in the world - including various types of special munitions, such as armour-piercing, hollowpoint or even explosive rounds.
*****
Steyr HGW
The Heckenschützegewehr für Wüste is exactly what it says on the tin, a desert sniper rifle. It was designed from the ground up to be able to operate in desert conditions and remain operational despite sand, extreme temperature changes, sand, low humidity and sand. And it does so very well. It fires reintroduced 7.92x57mm Mauser rifle rounds (notable for being the rounds used by, among other things, the MG42) using modern alloys and propellants, which are more powerful than 7.62x51mm NATO rounds and were found to be perfectly suited for desert environments. The overly long scope is as large as it is because it has been designed to compensate for almost anything, including heat distortion. It can zoon 4x/8x/16x and can also be used as an IR sight. Finally, the top-mounted laser can also be used to assist aiming. It's a fairly popular weapon, but because of its high price tag it only sees limited use. It does however have a reputation for reliability and accuracy in any circumstances, and HGWs are on many snipers' wish-lists.
*****
M14 MSR
The Modern Sniper Rifle modification of the M14 fires 7.62x51mm NATO rounds fed from 30-round magazines, which have special clips that allow them to be attached to the Picatinny rails located on the weapon. It comes standard with a 6x/12x/18x scope, flip-up forward iron sight, rail-mounted rear iron sight/range selector, laser sight and bipod. The Picatinny rails located on the top and bottom of the handguard allow users to customise their weapon loadout as they desire, mounting different scopes, iron sights, flashlights or even grenade launchers.
*****
H&K CSR
The Compact Sniper Rifle is just that, a 7.62x51mm sniper rifle slightly smaller than most assault rifles. It has less range and accuracy than larger weapons, but it is easier to carry and is popular with special forces personnel and others who cannot afford to carry large weaponry. It has a 20-round magazine and an integrated 4x/8x/12x scope. It comes with an integrated bipod mounted above the barrel.
*****
FN/H&K GrK 1
The Granatenkarabiner is an experimental design by Fabrique Nationale and Heckler & Koch, with the intention of creating a compact, versatile, easy to use heavy squad support weapon. It is a tremendous success; it is used by many military forces around the globe, usually in small numbers due to the limited manufacturing capacity, but the US Army and many Western European armies have procured larger quantities of this weapon and are using it for front-line support. It is used by specialised grenadiers attached to rifle squads, significantly improving the squad's firepower. The weapon fires custom-designed compact 40mm grenades, manually loaded through the left-hand-side loading port (FN's usual ambidextrous design would be impossible in this weapon) into an internal magazine holding 6 grenades in a zig-zag pattern. The weapon is semi-automatic, but skilled grenadiers can get firing rates of up to 120 rounds per minute, or 2 grenades per second, resulting in a lot of destruction in a very short time - and a long reload time afterwards. However, more controlled fire allows the user to keep the weapon topped up at all times. One of the most useful features of the weapon - contributing no small part to its popularity and success - is the 4x scope integrated into the carrying handle. This scope is not just that, it also features an integrated rangefinder and ballistic targeting computer, allowing users to fire grenades accurately over long distances. As such, the GrK 1 is also often used as a light mortar.
*****
Colt GL1
The GrK 1 was a major success from the day it hit the market. Colt decided to try and get a piece of the action before the European design dominated, and the GL1 was designed and tested in a fairly short time-span. However, even this proved too late; by the time the weapon reached the prototype stage, the US Army had already adopted the weapon and positive reports from the field had led to a large order by the military. So instead Colt decided to focus on the law enforcement market, intending the GL1 to fire less-lethal munitions for crowd control and dispersal. It has not been a very great success. The design has some minor flaws (the loading port cover tends to get stuck, requiring the weapon to be partially disassembled to free it, the sights are off and are mounted uncomfortably high, there is little room for the thumb) and it only sees limited use. Technically, the weapon fires full-length 40mm grenades fed from a 4-round internal magazine (though another minor flaw sometimes jams two of the grenades in place, essentially reducing it to a 2-round magazine) over medium distances fairly accurately (if you get past the sights). The laser is useful at short range, but beyond a few dozen metres the grenade drops so far the laser becomes useless. Colt has since ceased production of the GL1 and only a little over a thousand exist.
*****
Enfield MG030
The "Warthog" is a quite large, yet lightweight general purpose machine gun. It is constructed using modern lightweight alloys and polymer composites, and it fires special ammunition with plastic composite casings. This special .303cal ammunition is fed into the weapon from special 100-round drums that are carried on Picatinny rails; up to 7 may be attached to the weapon at any one time, not including the one currently loaded. The weapon's centre of mass is still located around the ammo drums, but because of its size the user needs to deploy the forward bipod to operate the weapon anyway so this slight drawback matters little and doesn't impact accuracy very much. Its strange appearance earns it ridicule, and its limited production precludes widespread deployment; however, Warthog operators in combat conditions say they like how their ammo capacity allows them to keep up suppressive fire with short reload times, and once used to the weapon, its operation is very simple.
*****
H&K H01
The H&K Heavy Support Weapon 01 was designed in somewhat the same vein as the Barrett M122, but intended from the beginning to fill the role the M122 has proven to fill in actual combat. Barrett has made it perfectly clear that they do not intend to sell the M122 to any clients other than the US Military, so H&K took up the challenge of designing a similar weapon for the world market. The H01 is a .50cal semi-automatic rifle fed from a 10-round clip, intended to serve as a heavy assault support weapon, especially in urban terrain. It has a red dot sight, flip-up front iron sights and a flip-up rear leaf sight. It has only just hit the market, but many European and some South American militaries have placed small orders for testing purposes.

Glock Panzer Model 1
With the resurging popularity of light tanks, shoulder-fired rocket launchers and full-sized anti-tank guns have become overkill in most cases. Target acquisition for shoulder-fired rocket launchers takes long, the rockets travel fairly slowly and launchers are unsuitable for indoors or close-range use. Glock responded to these problems by branching out from their usual pistol designs and reintroducting a weapon type that died out almost a century ago: the anti-tank rifle. The Glock Panzer is a heavy, powerful weapon, firing 30mm anti-tank shells fed from a 5-round magazine. It has a reflex sight and three iron sights, all adjustable on the Picatinny rail along the top, as well as a laser sight. The rifle uses a bullpup configuration to maximise barrel length. It is cumbersome, and soldiers can only carry limited ammo, but it has so far proven to be a powerful asset against light tanks, allowing anti-tank rockets to be spared for more well-armoured targets.
Bren gun
The first WWII gun I decided to replicate, I think it turned out pretty well considering the circumstances. All the details are correct (or at least, as correct as possible), and while the whole thing isn't quite right, it is recognisable.
*****
MG42
The second WWII gun I made, IMO the ugliest and the least successful. I had to keep the muzzle as short as it is because it would've been too large for the picture otherwise. The individual details are correct, again, but because of the limitations of the parts provided it turned out to be, well, decidedly "ehh". The SA85 receiver works, somewhat, but it's too tall and it has the magazine well, while the barrel shroud was the only one with slits in it. I don't really like how it looks on the whole, but I am pretty pleased with some of the details.
*****
StG.44
IMO one of my two best WWII weapon replicas. The details are all correct, and even the big picture looks pretty much exactly like the real thing. The only things I don't like are the double stock, and the barrel is too long.
*****
PPSh 41
Although I am also very, very pleased with this one, it's only my third best, IMO. Like with the MG42, this is because of the barrel shroud. Apart from that, it all works - the AK47 receiver looks like the PPSh receiver, the drum is slightly too large but it does work, the barrel stops a bit before the shroud does, the sights are perfect.
*****
BAR
Together with the StG.44, one of my two favourites. Apart from the AK47 wooden handguards (when I made this, the Thompson wasn't out yet), it looks entirely perfect.

MPThompson
Just a little joke of mine. An MP40 receiver+mag with Thompson barrel, grip, stock and sights.

Thanks. I know that most of these guns would be quite ridiculous IRL, but I'm going for at least mild plausibility in most of them. But even then, I agree, only a handful would be any kind of feasible - the GrK 1 might work (if not as described), the FdA 07 has double sights but ignoring that it looks OK IMO, the Lion is my absolute favourite and doesn't look too unrealistic to me (although it might be more controllable with a foregrip, and there's no rail attachments anywhere), and the C8, despite its odd stock, looks OK. Beyond that, yeah, they're quite unrealistic.Stickyreiss said:
The Model 2022 is plainly impossible (and ugly to boot), the M122 is highly unfeasible and I never really liked that backwards magazine, the M16A6 would never exist like that and it doesn't even look like an M16 anymore (plus, integrated grenade launcher?), the MKar 218 looks too heavy and difficult to handle, the G44 is amazingly unbalanced, the AR130 is, again, plainly impossible, the M20 is too "compact" and has the integrated launcher again, the Ak-S1 would have impossible recoil (I think), would be a ***** to aim and has an unlikely grenade launcher there, the LRAR is far too heavy and unbalanced with the grenade launcher, the AK47 MOD21 has an impossible handguard and the underbarrel shotgun would make it impossible to load the magazine (guidance rails or no), the Viper/M22 is too bulky, has impossible sights, an unlikely magazine and would probably be very hard to control (and the firing rate toggle options are mildly ridiculous), the Beretta 132's pistol-like slide mechanism is highly, highly unlikely, the MP11 would be impossible to operate, the AR15S/M16S1 is too compact and has a useless stock (and a 5.56mm SMG? right), the S1 "Reaper"'s mechanism would be impossible to produce, the Mk.44 is too large and bulky and fires impossible rounds, the Talon is far too small for all its protrusions and is wildly unbalanced, the HCP is..... well, impossible, the Beretta 118's sights are unusable and the barrel extension looks ridiculous, the CTW is too bulky and has a strange, overly long barrel, the Aggressor is plain impossible, the Hunter's Adaptable Calibre system is impossible and would make the weapon highly unreliable and prone to exploding, the HGW is too cluttered and heavy, the M14 MSR has impossible iron sights in front of the scope and carrying all those clips like that would make the weapon far too heavy and unbalanced, the CSR is too bulky and lacks sights, the GL1 was ridiculous from the start, the MG030 is, for lack of a better phrase, impossible with the current laws of physics, the H01 is extremely unlikely, and the Glock Panzer..... well, the phrase "30mm anti-tank rifle designed to counter light tanks" should say enough.
But then again, realism isn't everything. I like the way the Viper looks, the Beretta 132 looks IMO quite sleek and despite its mechanism and sights it looks quite realistic, the M16A6 looks better than any other M16 variant I've ever seen, the MP11 just looks powerful, the MKar looks unusual, but interesting, the M14 MSR is unlikely to happen but despite the mags it looks IMO realistic, the Glock Panzer - my universe, my rules
, the H01, if practically unsound, is theoretically interesting, the clip-fed launcher on the M20 is too heavy of course, but might be useful in the hands of a trained soldier, the AR15S/M16S1 is an attempt at turning the M16 receiver into an entirely different weapon, the Ak-S1 looks cool, and the LRAR is a theoretically interesting concept.I make guns because I like 'em, despite the realism problems. I know, and quite frankly, I don't really care so long as it's not entirely ridiculous

That is F'in awesome. I think I'll make one nowStrategia said:Hay guise I hear there's armoured combat going on in this thread.
The chassis is too short, but it should still be recognisable, I hope.
