Okay. What do you think about this AC-like weapon design?
First time doing proper mecha weapon design.
So, as I mentioned before, Xyrable is supposed to be bulky, and since it has some elements taken from post-USSR countries I will give it homage on AK-47 but weirder. And what is weird? Right. AC2 weapons design. I always through for some reason what EWG-GSH8 had 3 barrels while currently I suspect what lower "barrel" is most likely a shell pump or gas tube, eigher way it's BULKY and at same time kind of SLEEK so Xyrable weapons will follow this design philosophy to contrast a little with mechs which are bulky AND more cubic.
So, this what are different from AK? As you can see it's generally shorter in question of proportions (obviously it will be sized up on mecha level), second is lack of wooden part on top side of AK muzzle which now replaced with more sharper and flatter part. Next is removal of rifle butt as mechs arms grip is good enough to minimise recoil with just weapon handle. The weirdest part I really liked is huge as fuck magazine which extends to and replaces lower part of AK wooden frame (or how do we call this thing?) since again mecha doesn't need to hold this weapon in 2 hands. Oh, and obvious visual sensor under barrel because why not?
I did small break from a 3D modeling but returning to it. I tried my sister tablet for drawing textures for hands so I will have to redo them since I didn't expected digital pen to have in-build opacity and messed up some textures because of this.
