Description
Modeled and rendered in LW, with dummy surfacing only. 6,551 polygons and about four hours of mucking about pretending to design.
This one is dedicated to all the weapons experts and afficionados out there. This should make you shake your heads and say, "this guy has no idea what he's doing". You're right. Presenting the Weaver BG Mk.4... full auto sniper rifle! Shown here is the bare metal finish model, also comes in lemon blue and watermelon camouflage patterns.
This model joins the arsenal of props I am creating for the project I am working on with Franky, Obiwan, billy-home, laughingnome and gps. I'm not a warmonger of any sort, but these are fun to model. Besides I can't model organic stuff anyway. :o)
As always, your comments and criticisms, input and suggestions are appreciated. Thank you very much for viewing.

I don't know anything about weapons, but this is a way cool model.
criticism isn't needed.... as always (again), Good model! (again), its totally moebius, so we can't blaim your for any of our dislikes. lol. (do u guys have a site for the project?)
Im not too good on weapons either , but I can safely say Im very impressed! Nice job mate xXxXx
Hey Moe, organic modeling is overrated anyway! :-) And who cares when you can do kick ass work like this! Nice job!
Cool work, as usual lol even if you dont know what you are dooing, it looks very functional to me ;)
Rockin guns. Well done. Can I have some of these, can help me get a seat on the subway.
nice I am around guns at work and your model is a breath of fresh air you should make the magizine a banana clip O you should make a spiffed up version of an elephant gun
nice work. What happend to that promissed tutorial?
Hey, great job. Love the texture as it is. Do one thing though, put a little bevel on the pistol-grip. It looks too sharp-edged to me to feel comfortable, and it's gotta feel comfy, right?
Looks very cool... like an overpowered military air rifle from a Gibson novel or something.
Thank you very much for all you comments. Thanks, pixeltek - I will modify the entire pistol grip to make it look more comfy. dick_longly - as soon as I can figure out how to model a banana clip, I'll replace this one.
Very nice again, 1 question tho.....does it come in ferrari red?
stunning as always from the moe man : )
This is way cool. Unusal design, man!
Very, very cool! I'm really looking forward to this!

Unique craftmanship design. Love it Moe!
Comments...you asked........did I ever mention my Pappy was a gunsmith ^_^ If a long range weapon can fire in full-Auto mode it is not, by definition, a sniper rifle. Judging from the ammo capacity on this my guess is that it is a "Battle Rifle". A large bore trooper level battle field weapon. The German G3,American M-14 and the old U.K. standard FN-FAL (all in 7.62mm/.308) are good examples of this. Sniper weapons also avoid venting to much flash or gas ....and this weapon has a perferated muzzle shroud, which means it no doubt has serious heat issues....judging from how advanced this tech is, I would say that thermal imaging tech is probably abundant ...which means this sniper would be dead meat. Also magazines mounted on top of a weapon in the real world useually indicate feed issues....or fairly large calibre. It(the top feed) like the streight pistol grip, barrel shroud, and simple stock assembly suggest a fairly rushed design and manufacture...like the Russians manufacturing and issueing weapons un-blued during the battle Stalingrad. That's how the PPSh-41 became the clinker built PPSh-43 ....just so that soldiers would have somthing that went "BANG".........okay, I'm going away now...I'm guessing this was not what you had in mind when you asked for comments ;O) Did I menttion...........this thing is cool!
Same here, I am a friend to the vast family of guns, and regardless of title, it sure looks awesome. Full auto sniper rifle is an oxymoron in and of itself, but then that's what the guys in the field could call it, just to make fun of it!
