Beeeeeeefy!!
what caliber, mag capacity, and weight?
the trigger has three stages, single and auto, or is there burst?
How does one operate the grenade launcher?
...is that carry handle also a scope? it kind of looks like it but I can't see from this angle x.x
lol, short barrel! gonna CQB for eva?

Ask questions much? XD

x.x weapons are my thing...

I like the drum mag.

o.o Interesting.

Refittable with a Shotgun I pray? :3

Nice grip design. Practical for every digit. :)

loving the deisn of this one, though the grenade launcher may do well as a shotgun.

i tell you what, i really cant wait for you to open up some commissions, the way you shade metal is really cool, and i'm a sucker for technology.

shape of the sight ftw, reminds me of the famas, or a cross between the BR and AR from halo

I'd be more likely to say M4 and G36 cross.

well rather M4 carbine and g36c, owing to it's shortness :3 but yeah, i can see that

i <3 the shiney effect o:

Reminds me of:

Reminds me of alot of things.

Pretty awesome. I could see how a magazine on an M203 type underbarrel launcher would help, and looking at this, the forward-pump operation actually seems pretty feasible.

Wow, amazing looking assault rifle. Have you ever drawn a railgun before?

A visually interesting weapon that would look right at home in a mid to far future setting. I do have a couple bits of critique, but they're just practical things that would come up while using the gun.

I can't tell by looking at it how one is supposed to eject the magazines for either the rifle or the attached grenade launcher, nor in fact fire the attached grenade launcher.

While there is what appears to be a fire selector indicator there is not an obvious lever for right handed operation of it.

The magazine seems very large for an assault rifle caliber, while the grenade cylinder looks much shorter than a standard 40mm grenade (although the latter could easily be explained by future tech).

The upper line of the stock looks too high to use the iron sights.

How does the optic work? Is it a camera and screen type system? The line from back to front would seem to preclude conventional optics.

Thumb ring on back of pistol grip looks too small to allow for a comfortable firing grip unless it is mounted very far to one side of the gun, thus limiting it's usefulness for ambidextrous shooting. Also, this feature would make it possible for an enemy to break the operator's thumb during hand to hand combat.

Anyway, it looks cool and it is certainly a lot more practical than some of the stuff I've seen on book covers. Good job, and good luck in the future.

Well it's the only first real design i cranked out, not to mention the most old one aswell since this was nearly a year neglected when i etched up the first designs back in late 06 in which would explain some of the obvious visual flaws.

As for the scope, it's a two point camera system with the battery stored between the two points of the scope handle. For the iron sights the two joints along the middle base of the weapon remain when the scope is detached but since i can't show it at this angle how it would look.

Since designing a custom ejection method of the main drum would prove too troublesome not to mention a heavy handicap to the weapon, a simple 'insert & twist' procedure of reloading to ensure it would lock in place, but be ready to be removed when it's empty and light to be exchanged using the same way.

Grenade launcher is made that way to most suit medium range combat when facing entrenched positions or paving some quick fire cover with it's pump-method, also explains how they're launched for when it's been 'pumped' it locks the rifle into firing the grenade (which i will explain is propelled by a tiny gauss device) meaning more explosive packed into the round itself.

Reason why it's called the MAR's is cause it was built for aggressive non-subtle combat. With my way of military it's not all about the fancy tech and tactics. It's all about enginuity of making and utilizing a powerful weapon for it's primary purpose in war. It's also going to be a multi-custom-purpose rifle that can be configured to what most of the medium infantry will be issued for in the field. Which i'll get working on the alternative designs soon.

What do you mean by a "custom" ejection method? The magazine catch varies quite a bit between rifles, with the main systems all having strong and weak points. Are you saying that all weapons in your future setting have standardized on one mag release?

Could you elaborate on your 'twist and lock' system? Do you mean that the thing at the very back of the drum is a tab which can be rotated to unlock the magazine, or do you mean that the entire drum just rotates in and out? If the latter how is it held in the locked position?

Not dissing your design, I'm just a random gun geek trying to push you to make your weapons as realistic as possible.

Bah, forgot to make it a reply first time. Just read the below.

I ment due to it being a drum rather than a usual clip. It's removal would be a tad complex so that it wouldn't be too difficult to change for a fresh drum nor too easy for it to look like it would easily pop out of place, But looking back, i remembered that earlier i thought of just utilizing a magnetic lock on the interior of the drum feed area, which once correctly inserted would hold the drum in place. And when the time came for it to be exchanged it would be easily released via the red button.

So you've got a magazine retention device that relies on power to eject the spent drum? What if the battery dies or gets damaged?

Removal of a drum magazine isn't much more difficult than a normal box magazine given a reasonably convenient catch system. All things being equal you should probably favor simple solutions over more complex ones when designing items where high reliability is important.

Anyway, don't take this all too seriously. We are, after all, just talking about fantasy guns.

I. Want. This. Gun.

What kinda caliber does it use? Or does it even use traditional bullets? Also, how many shots does a single 'clip' actually hold?
