i think it looks stupid, so ill leave it at that
I disagree, but I respect your opinion.
and that triangular object on the barrel kind of blocks the scope
I see your point, but the point of modeling for BL isn't realism. A lot of it is how it feels, like how a certain gun looks and might be used for.
The feel you'd get from that model is an unforgiving high-powered rifle that has a sunk-in scope to exaggerate the size of the body and barrel.
EDIT: hint hint weird and
IMPOSSIBLE guns
