Barrett m82 Sniper Rifle

[Aterr]

Actually just a bit over 11k with a decent scope and BORs. (Not to mention, the ammo is still a bit pricey on the Civilian market)

Heh, i didnt mention the fact that youd need to buy some good optics and ammo because in all honestly, just having one of those things in my hands would satify me enough. I can imagine in any arguement i find myself in, holding a weapon like that to my opponet would result in immediate compliance, loaded or not. I doubt anyone would "feel lucky" staring down the barrel of a .50 BMG

Oh wow, Nice. Too bad i dont have blender i have a student copy of autodesk maya 2008 (But college work keeps me from taking the time to get a good model like this out):confused:

Oh, stop the excuses. ;) You can download Blender right here on the Nexus. It is free and easy to setup. If not for anything else, you could use it to view the model or export to OBJ format to be imported into any other modeling program.

 

It looks very nice, can we get a few detail shots? Id like to get a better look at well, all of it. From what i can see it has a very solid and accurate design. I think its the textures on it right now that are throwing me off a bit however (though i know that theyre probably just default materials)

As already said, there are no textures. They are just solid colors applied to the objects. There are a LOT of objects as this was designed as individual pieces, meaning you can completely remove the bolt as a single piece even though you only see a part of it. Same for the barrel and other pieces. Before being put in-game, many of these unseen verts need to be removed for performance. As I said above, just download Blender and you can take a look at it however you like, wireframe and all.

 

It looks extremely well from what i can see hammonds, great freakin job! :thumbsup:

Just for clarification, it was not me who created this weapon. I found it on a modeling site a long time ago. The author did not include his name or a readme in the archive and that was before I started documenting the author and source location of the models I download. I really wish people would include readme files in works they upload. :blink:

 

EDIT: It would be cool to have a scopeless version too, for when an Iron Sight mod comes out. And we all know that will be here eventually. And yes, the M82 does have Sights on it.

That would be painless to accomplish. The scope is a separate object (as mentioned earlier) and there are iron flip-up sights already modeled onto it so it would not require additional modeling...just simple modification. ;)

Well, there is the problem of mobility. If your "opponent" is close enough to see the weapon, they are already too close for you to use that weapon. That's when a Remington 870 Express shotgun would come in handy. ;) There is just something about the chink-chink of a shotgun pump that demands compliance as well. LOL

No really, Im in a class called Character Design and Creation, and the final work is due sunday at 9:00 AM. So its really crunch time for me right now. (though i have the model finished and textured) All thats left is rigging it into a pose and finishing off the loose ends with the minor tweaks.

 

If no one else steps up i can have a go at this model, and seeing what needs to be done. Mind you, i am no texture artist, or rigger/animator. All i would be able to do is optimise the mesh for Fallout3 (which if you dont mind, leave me a PM or post the average poly count of weapons in fallout 3 here). I MIGHT be able to tweak the UV a little, but I dont expect masterful work with that.

 

In other words, I alone cannot make this dream a reality.

No no Friend. You forget a SPAS 12 has much more of an "anti aircraft cannon" look to it if you are going to go with the shotgun catagory, which is another weapon ill request at a later time when it becomes possible to have tube fed and pump action shotguns in fallout3 :thumbsup:

Aye, tactics did indeed have a .50 BMG sniper rifle.

 

And..

 

 

Nooooo! Why must everyone insist on using dirty guns? :( You just don't let your gun be dirty. In a post apocalyptic environment I can accept almost anything being dirty rusty and grimy, but never a functioning firearm. Dirt, grime and rust cause wear and problems with the actual functionality of the gun (jams, misfires, etc). Nicked, dinged up, scratched the heck and back yes, but don't let your gun get dirty.

 

I admit that there are some guns out there that you can drag through the mud, pull it out and then fire off an entire clip, but the owner of that gun is not going to just leave it like that.

 

A clean gun is a happy gun, do not make gun sad. u.u;

Aye, tactics did indeed have a .60 BMG sniper rifle.

Well, Dirty guns break like you said. And in Fallout3, Guns break. SO Dirty and rusty guns it is. :wink:

 

You also have to think: EVERYTHING in fallout3 is dirty, rusty, and run down. So how did that barrett survive abandoned through the holocaust without some visual degradation? Chances are that it wasnt vacuumed packed in an air tight chamber box.

 

And on top of that, going off the fact that everything in fallout3 is rusty and dirty, imagine someone wearing any outfit in fallout 3 and brandishing a sparkling new weapon. Not only does it not make sence (i guess im a purist or a lore junky) But it just plain sticks out like a swore thumb. Take Alex Scorpions 10mm pistol retexture. It is GORGEOUS. But, its way too clean and just really doesnt look right, given the surroundings that gun is put in. :confused:

Because a good owner will keep it clean so it doesn't break lest it blow their hand off. >.>

 

Seriously, if a gun is going to survive 200 years and actually work, it can't be rusty. Rusty guns are not something you want to test. If you find a gun that's been sitting in an environment where it has become rusted, after 200 years it's going to be useless, no matter how much you clean it. Any guns that you find will have to have been sealed from the elements, passed down or stolen from other people, and if those guns are going to work for 200 years they are going to HAVE to be cleaned regularly. If not, by the time you get them, they are going to be almost completely non-functional. The more complex a weapon is, the less likely it will work if not maintained after 200 years. Even a muzzle loader that you've dug up all rusty will be more dangerous to you than anyone else.

 

200 years is a long time. We're not just talking about finding an old vietnam or korean war era firearm, we're talking the difference between something left to rust from 1808 to 2008.

 

To add a little bit of logic behind it, rust weakens the structure of metal. If you only give your gun minimal maintenance and don't clean the rust off of it, then it will eventually blow up in your hand because the structure just couldn't take the explosions any more. This is why you see people completely disassembling their weapons to make sure it is absolutely immaculate inside and out and why you will see a soldier whose fatigues are caked in mud but his weapon is practically sparkling.

Okay well. point well made. However, on the other hand. 200 years IS a long time between when the manufacturers where making these firearms and now. So the weapons that are out there would be dull and old looking at least. So my own point of a weapon shouldnt be shining new still stands. visual wear and tear should be present as those who are maintaining these weapons arent getting new parts from the manufacturer, because said manufacturer was blown up 200 years ago. :confused:
