Still working on it :P
About this image
Ok, I finally solved a major hurdle for me...I got the transparency effects working for the glass tube at the muzzle.
feeling pretty boss about that.
anyway, the rifle is nearly done. I need some suggestions and criticisms about the gun. hit me with your best and worst :P
The idea is a tougher and beefier plasma rifle. I always felt the original one was just too fragile looking for combat use. This is a weapon which can be dropped and picked up again and reasonably be expected to still work fine :P
I'm thinking it needs something right above the MFC assembly. not sure what though. even if its just a vent or something, it needs to cover that crap left behind by the tubes.

also, that pulse cannon is freakin awesome.
I may have to try and make my own similar weapon.
Thor is probably the one you mean.
Pulse Cannon is one from a Russian. It has a pretty awesome nuclear explosion.
And then there's Murdelizer and some other random Laser Guns that I have downloaded, either from Nexus or from modgames.net.
Any updates on this beauty by the way?
its totally in character for a military designer to make it use polymer components instead of wood
I'm considering retexing the foregrip to something more synthetic looking.
not gonna add a scope to this gun.
so where'd you get the guns you use anyway? I'd been looking for a decent tesla thrower for ages before I built my own.
The weapons I use in my screenshots (which aren't my models btw) don't have the Tesla Armor Backpack neither. I use Tailor Maid
Anyway scopes are always a bad idea, because no one will ever use your gun in third person then, and they won't appreciate the awesomeness of the model.
its good enough, but a bit minimalist.
that said, the gun isn't by any means a weapon for marksmen. its powerful and fairly accurate, but a scope would be fairly useless. I'm thinking I'll call it done. perhaps bundle it with a plasma pistol variant I made earlier today.
any thoughts on where to find prototype plasma weaponry in the mojave?
I'm wondering where Repconn do their actual lab work, since its obvious that neither the Repconn HQ nor the launch site are really intended for it.
perhaps a test lab could be found in the out-buildings near the HQ?
it'd explain what they're for.
Also, Firemans, just took a look at your stuff, that tesla gun of yours....totally different models, but similar effects to mine, lol, I totally failed to think of using the tesla armor backpack on mine....feeling a bit stupid about that.
