The model has a few issues

- noticeable z-fighting
- has some see-through bits

(See screeny)

The new Grenade launcher needs a trigger guard as well.

I didn't like how the new machinegun barrel turned out, so i've reverted it for now. It's a very messy mesh too since I used a crappy method to get it all symmetrical

If those issues get fixed it wouldn't be bad.

Also while your at it, why not fix the rail gun so the rail effect actually comes from the barrel of the gun and not the player's chest (In first person)?

The first person weapon model can be adjusted by making and animating a new 'hand' with tag_weapon, and i'll refigure that out soon (i forgot exactly what frames are firing, drawing etc)

While the new machinegun looks ok (though i really liked the old one),
are you sure about the new sound? The old one was great IMO.

I'm not satisfied with the sound either, though it's a bit closer to what I had imagined. The old machinegun sound was pulled straight from Nexuiz and didn't sound right anyway.

I'm trying to go for the least earbleeding firing sound for the machinegun like q3's had

What about making it look like Bill Duke's gun in Predator?

With the rotating barrel?

Too heavy caliber, as well as too conventional. We have a vulcan gun like that sort of done for "TA" already
