Another piece on the chain. Classic mag I replaced by two energy canisters on the sides. Canisters can operate independently. There is a way to use left, right or both at once They are mounted by pushing inside and turn 90 degrees. Opposite move will reject them out. Each side has display with info about actual conditions. These information is also transferred to digital red dot scope.
As usual I did it in 3ds max. Vray was my rendering engine. Model is fully highpoly. Concept and whole performing are mine.
I did 3+1 pictures: 1. Perspective: [link] 2. Left side: [link] 3. Front+Back: [link] 4. Art lines: [link]
Any opinion? (Tnx for comment if any.) (Pls, do not copy my work on other side.)
The design is nice but the ergonomics are seriously flawed, the picatinny rail is off boresight and the pistol grip looks like it only accomodates a miniscule hand. Also, the length of pull on the stock is tiny even if it extends as far as the design allows.
There is an actual weapon that is quite close in appearance. I am not sure what the designation is. It has actually been used in action by the 101st Airborne Div. There is work being done to build directed energy weapons at a couple of U.S. weapons research labs. The U.S. Navy is getting close to a shipboard weapon.
In reply to your message, the current shoulder weapon is designated XM-25 and produced by the U.S. branch of Heckler & Koch of Germany. It's still in development. To see a photograph, you will need to get a copy of 2013-2014 volume of U.S. Army weapons systems. This is a commercial non classified book.
As for the energy weapons and rail guns research, check the open web site of the U.S. Navy Research Labs.
