Just seeking opinions on a rifle... seems like it's missing or needing something to me.

It's modified Pitt Infiltrator. I wanted to give it a lower, more balanced stance than what the stock weapon had.
It uses custom 5.56mm explosive tipped rounds with high impact.. very deadly.

Looks great to me. I don't think theres much else you can add to it, except maybe some things for the sake of looks. Maybe a laser sight or acog on the top so you have a scope. :thumbsup:

Thanks man. Yeah I kept going back to the lack of scope and all that, but the default infiltrator along with a different version of this gun both have the nice default scope.. this is supposed to be more of an iron sights grunt version, low tech and messy kills. I think maybe my issue is my eye keeps telling me that the stock should be higher on the back end. May be it's just me..

Nice job.

I did some work on a Tommy Gun that didn't come out nearly as well for WMK, adding the knife is a nice touch. Wish I could switch between "Gun" and "Melee" with it!

... speaking of which, I wonder if it would indeed be possible. All you would need to do is take the same model, duplicate a combat knife item and replace the model with your rifle there. It may or may not look strange, you can likely adjust some of how it looks through how the weapon is flagged. Then you could have a hot-key or button that would switch combat modes (it would actually switch the rifle-version out with the knife-version or visa-versa), which would give the appearance of using the weapon in two modes...

Now I'm just dreaming - lol - need more coffee!

Thanks

Actually that was the original plan for it. If equipped and ammocount = 0, auto-remove and add/equip one that is classified as equiptype: melee weapon, WeaponAnimType: TwoHandMelee. Then if equipped and ammocount >1, auto-remove and add/equip the original. The melee copy is already made. I figured to have them swing it by the butt like a sledge and slash with it, just haven't tried wrapping the brain around how to set up the grip/anim type/attack anim yet (if it's even doable), and whether or not I'd need to offset the root node in the nif to do that. It kind of got moved to the back burner, but would be sweet if pulled off decently. A nice 2-handed bayonet anim would sure come in handy here.

that's pretty dang good. nice work!

the only thing i would suggest is to make it look like the combat knife was just lashed on using some bits of metal and rope/tape, so you might see the grip of the knife. maybe extend the knife past the barrel a little bit so you might get some more range from it.

imho i like the look of having just the iron sights as opposed to a scope of some sort.

Thanks

Hmm... a more improvised look like that could work. The left hand grip is real short, they hold it over the first 6 holes on the texture.. I could edit the mesh there and shorten up that fat grip part, and also move the end of the barrel back and knife forward a bit. That would expose the handle that could be lashed over. Thx.
Hehe could go really ghetto with it and give it an iron pipe stock, taped on bent nails for sights, and a homemade beercan silencer too

Edit: Nah I can't, lashing the handle would iterfere with the reload lever on the other side.

Pssst......
Here's a little http://webpages.charter.net/biscuit1/Chop.jpg and http://webpages.charter.net/biscuit1/Slice.jpg for ya.... so you don't have to wonder any more :hubbahubba:

This is the out-of-ammo version that drops the clip automatically and changes on its own to its melee self. Also have an unscripted version for hotkeying.

That's great man, I hate running out of ammo and not having a melee weapon
