Beginner's Weapons: New Big-Ass Sniper! Taking requests and suggestions!

[TheShadowCross]

My latest creation!

Seeing as my models have gotten some positive responses, I'm confident enough to turn it into a full project. In keeping with my original plans, I now have a list of weapon "types" I want to make. Each category (while maybe redundant at times) will have 1 of each weapon type, as listed. Currently finished models will be highlighted in blue, meaning you should click it and see the picture! I did it this way because my screenshots are straight from Blender, to Paint, to Tinypic, and are stupidly big.

When suggesting weapons to me, keep in mind these guidelines.
-I MAY change the category of a weapon if I feel another option fits better.
-I WILL make either real or fantasy guns, though I will make them blocko and as a result, there will purposely be inaccuracies in order to make the blocko style look good.
-I will NOT be a richard-ass to you if I dont like your idea.
-I WILL take suggestions on adding another category later on down the line when I've got more of my already-planned stuff completed.



Here are the current categories, aswell as finished and planned weapons. If the name does not have a link attached to it, then it is open for suggestions.

Army Category: Think any global armies from WW2 up to now, and maybe even beyond.
Assault Rifle
Pistol
Submachine Gun
Sniper Rifle
Shotgun
Melee
Utility

Civilian Category: Think home defense, self defense, and hunting.
Assault Rifle
Pistol
Submachine Gun
Sniper Rifle
Shotgun
Melee
Utility

Criminal Category: Theives, Gangs, Mobsters.
Assault Rifle
Pistol
Submachine Gun
Sniper Rifle
Shotgun
Melee
Utility

Police Category: First responders, on patrol police in populated areas.
Assault Rifle
Pistol
Submachine Gun
Sniper Rifle
Shotgun
Melee
Utility

Swat Category: Step up from Police, to more "creative" weaponry.
Assault Rifle
Pistol
Submachine Gun
Sniper Rifle
Shotgun
Melee
Utility

Request Bin: To help me get more solidified in modeling, I'm taking requests within reason. Here's what I've done so far.
Portal Gun for Wheatley
Laser Pistol thing for Legoboss


Weapon features!
-No animations
-No recoil
-No ammo system
-No ADS
-No Raycasting
-MAYBE headshots, maybe not.
-Basic accuracy with a gradual spread increase with continued fire
-Bullet drop as an option on a weapon-by-weapon basis, for my own ideal of balancing
-Custom bullet I modeled
-Default muzzle flash
-Default smoke
-Default gun shell casings
-Gun sounds which I possess, and  have the power to edit with Audacity
-Streamlined ingame names. (Army Assault Rifle, Police Shotgun, etc as opposed to M16, Remington 870)

The aim of my debut weapons will be simplicity, low lag, high performance, and balance for large scale builds. Model criticism is more than welcome, but keep in mind that I'm not aiming to make them as detailed and realistic as possible. I'm all about the classic blocko style, and if you want realistic weapons, there's plenty better people to do it than me.

Also, I'm on Steam. If for some reason you want to speak to me there, I'm always online if I'm at home. http://steamcommunity.com/id/theshadowcross/

I absolutely love the style of these weapons, and I'd gladly help scripting them.

Wow, not at all the initial response I was expecting. Thank you very much! We can go by private messages, or I can send you my Steam if you have that to work with.

Wow, love this style!
Would love to use these in Backup Plan.

Full support, would love to see these (:

It appears I should have posted these sooner... The M16ers I did like 2 weeks ago. Here's another thing I did!

I can't send PMs, so just send me your Steam.

Updated the post so people can now suggest weapons for me to make. Like my existing models, they will be more blocko than anything else, but I'm open to ideas.

Yeah these are really good for a beginner, they especially suit the style you've got planned with the features.
honestly i wouldn't have thought you were new at modeling if you hadn't mentioned it.

also, by no ammo system do you mean endless bullets when you hold the trigger or just, no sort of reserve ammo system, but still reloading and all that?

Well thank you! And, by no ammo I mean pretty much the default gun. I might go back later on and add a super simple reload if the weapons prove too chaotic without anything to halt the fire. Though, I'll make sure to tweak the fire rate so is to prevent bullet walls. That, combined with things like gradually decreasing accuracy and bullet drop, they shouldn't be too bad. That said, I'm not above suggestions.

Progress!




I've updated all of the models that were already done, and made a few more! We're up to 9 weapons now and I'm looking for suggestions on more to work on. I'm itching to keep going, though I'm a bit stuck on what I should make next.

Suggestion: looking at the pics, I think the Assault Rifles in the Civilian and Military categories should be swapped. A wooden stock (what looks like a generic AK-47 or old M4) is something I'd see in a rednecks hands, while the green color of the civilian one makes me think it belongs with a military unit.

Otherwise, the rest look great. I'd like to see these finished!

they look cool but i think you should make your triggers and bolt handles bigger, like on the sten where it looks like it'd cut your hand

The wooden one is full size, and is going to be full auto, while maintaining the look of a standard issued weapon. The Civilian model is shorter, semi-auto, and modified to take pistol rounds, and more resembles some of the options one would have if they owned their own gun without being in military service. Also keeping in mind, I'm not trying to be realistic, I'm just taking design ideas from what I know about real guns and gun owners and taking advantage of what looks good. As for triggers, it couldn't be to hard to lengthen them a little.

On another note, I'm going to need someone to help me figure out the coding portion... I had someone who said they would help me, but they decided to just stop for no good reason leaving me with a half done code. These SHOULD be the easiest weapons in the world to code for, but since I don't already know the terminology or how coding in general works, certain people like to treat me like I'm a moron, so... If I could get some actual help on that, that would be great.

Don't forget to suggest weapons! Surely there's something you all would want made.

Extremely good for a beginner.
You should have seen how horrible my first weapon pack was.
