Sweet!

Good modeling, excelent!
Love the 50cal mgs!

Silencer? It's a water cooling tube, like on all ww1 heavy machineguns.
(yes, the m2 hmg is a ww1 weapon. Its watercooling was removed and the fire rate was lowered in order to make it lighter, so it could be easily fitted on jeeps and tanks. This of couse reduced the firepower and is not necessary for my dedicated hmg turret)

Edit: Thanks, metalwarrior

I revised the current python design and reduced the polycount to 160 while preserving texture. I also started on a hipoly for normal mapping.

It looks awesome. I wish you would post the current model alongside your work for comparisons so we can see the changes.. Just a suggestion, but if it's too much trouble, never-mind. Again, nice work Jorzi.

You made it high/thick, and that just completely destroyed it's elegance.

...You're joking, right?

[Jorzi]

The low-poly is essentially the same as the one by mangust, with the same texture and only minor modifications. I can post wire renders with both designs for comparison.

Not at all.

OK, time for some updates
Heavy machinegun, 100 tris.
Crits and suggestions welcome as always.

Nice, but looks like it has a silencer on it...

Last update for today. I think it's pretty much finished

[Zarel]

Looks great. Now we just need a texturer. I want Olrox back.

11.16MB a warning would have been nice. You could have just posted this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Germa ... ne_Gun.jpg

Erm, the MG08 on lav_coyote25's Picture is a license-built Maxim-Vickers MG replica. So much for the great resemblance of both weapons. Both are water-cooled and both feature no silencer. The tube along the barrel is a cooling mantle. A silencer, as opposed to a cooling mantle, would be mounted either on the muzzle, which is clearly visible with both the Maxim/Vickers and MG08. For the look of silencers, compare the pictures here. Or it would encase the barrel as an internal silencer like the HK MP5SD (sorry, couldn't resist using this pornesque picture ), but this design also leaves the muzzle invisible and was never employed for a machine gun. In fact, there are no silenced MG out there. But, curiously enough, Hiram Maxim, designer of the Maxim/Vickers MG, was also the inventor of silencers, both for firearms and combustion engines.

The only weapon with a silencer that looks a bit like that is a russian special-purpose subsonic large-caliber sniper rifle http://world.guns.ru/sniper/sn72-e.htm It's called VSSK Vychlop.
