Okay, so just to kinda showoff here:
This is the Talon Marksman Assault Rifle.
I know I've come on here with a bunch of projects, some of which have drawn significant flak from certain individuals, appreciated constructive criticism from some and warming praise from still others.
But, even if you don't agree with the concept of this rifle (which is fine, since I'd be willing to bet you have more experience than me), I hope that you appreciate the effort that went into this design.
This design, unlike every other one I've done, was actually blueprinted. I don't know if any of you have ever tried to blueprint something on MS Paint, but it's freaking hard. The weapon was blueprinted to scale, with the actual barrel length being the real scalar length in the picture (the equivalency is 5px to 1mm). I then created an outline of the weapon, and tried to print it to do my normal shading transfer, but the lines were too faint (because of the huge scale I was using) for me to be able to do that. So I tripled the thickness of all the lines. That means that each line you see in this image is three pixels thick, which is pretty mad for Paint. All of this was done by hand, with pixels being hand-counted and measurements made painstakingly on my own. The weapon is largely based off of the AR-15 and AR-10, and uses a Direct Impingement system. The rifle is chambered in 6.5x42mm Diamondback which sends a 123-grain Lapua Scenar at 2750 f/s. All of the controls are identical on either side, even to the charging handles.
Anyway, tell me what you think!
