Weapon GFX- Sharp Rifle

[Minomato]

Here's a weapon GFX I made, it's fairly basic. It's supposed to be a bolt-action rifle, so it would have a fairly slow rate of fire, but good damage and accuracy.

Preferably, it would use bullets, rather than laser or plasma ammo. It'd be weird otherwise, as having to load a plasma round into a rifle by hand might not be all that great of an idea.. Suggestions would be nice, as well as some applause, of course. Feel free to criticize, just keep it ruly and polite. Oh, and one more thing: the stock is, indeed, meant to be tinted slightly blue. I thought it was an interesting tone.

Seems really small.

[Minomato]

Wouldn't be so sure about that.

How's that? Normal size. The butt of the stock is hidden on the other side of the person in this picture. The white blotch is transparency.

it`s nice

it looks like a sniper or hunt rifle

[SolidSnake989]

Sniper or a hunting rifle? Please it looks more of a shotgun

[blazeingonix]

Ye , is more like a shotgun

[doyouskate]

ya if you added another barrel it would look like a 12 gauge shotgun

[Minomato]

If you put a scope on it, it would be otherwise >_>

Put a scope on it and let's see. It looks too fat to be a rifle.

[Minomato]

Fat? Do you mean from the top and bottom views? If it was any skinnier, it would look kinda lousy. Also, here's kinda' what I was aiming for.

Without the wider piece at the end of the barrel, though. Maybe it would look better with it? I tried to make the bolt-action lever-handle visible, but it wouldn't show up well, so I scraped that. Also, shotguns and rifle look a lot alike in most cases, but the difference is that shotguns usually have the pump-action piece and the double barrel or 'sliding' rod.

I worked on the rifle a little bit, added a scope, bullet case GFX for loading bullets, and modified the color just to see if it would look better. The up/down views have been changed to have a different perspective.

That looks sex. How would this work since we already have a sniper rifle? Maybe this one would be stronger or fire faster?

Maybe they could just change the gfx and make this the current sniper rifle. :o?

I like it a bit more than the current sniper but that may just be me.

[Minomato]

Nah, I was thinking of making it like this-

The sight is increased to show more of an area in front of the wielder, like the mortar, but you can move while doing so. Turning changes the view to the direction being faced, and diagnol sight will need to be added. Rather than 'clicking' and having the bullet instantly hit a target, it is fired like other normal weapons. The bullet travels at a swift speed, around that of the assault pistol. It has only one round per shot, and the bullet has a very long range to match the sight. Perhaps another thing that might be added is an 'auto-locking' script that allows the rifleman to have their bullets veeery slightly follow a target's direction if they are straight ahead. If the target moves out of the way or is out of the range of the 'lock-on', then the bullet will go straight in the direction it is currently facing, and disperse when it reaches its range limit. The bullet would only spread randomly if it had no target in range.

To add, it would have less damage than the sniper rifle.

Perhaps the 'S' key would fire bullets that wouldn't follow enemies, and would only travel straight with a very small spread, with more range as well. The 'D' key could produce a seeking bullet, with less range as a consequence or less damage.

This would make it a fairly good long-ranged weapon, good for fleeing enemies or enemies approaching from a distance. It would be bad at medium and close range, due to the fact that it would shoot slow at "Bolt-Action" rate, and that it cannot produce multiple bullets to defeat a speedy enemy. Another downside is that the wielder cannot see behind them, as they are busy looking and aiming ahead with the scope. However, if they peek at the radar, then can quickly take evasive action.

If this idea or weapon is to be used, I wish to see it in the Trader's Shops, rather than the Gelat Store, for obvious reasons. It would probably be quite expensive (I can't guess any Zone Money prices, we have barely any examples to base it on), but I think everyone would be fine with that.
