[WIP] Pulse Rifle

[Celice]

As shown in my pictures most G36 (GB assault rifle) have semi Clear magazines, if that's what your reffing.

Naw, I meant something more like this:

I apologize for the lo-res MSPaint skills I employed, but this is the more or less the gist of what I was suggesting. The clip sorta "locks in" to the mechanism, and when it's being removed or inserted, one could look through the magazine area, not the magazine itself. And then the handle-ish thing towards the top, but one can't really diagram a handle as nicely with a touchpad :/ Suffice to say, something like a bar sticking out, if the weapon is going to be a tad large. Largely not in that exact location, but on a side or so--left is what I though, being naturally right-handed myself.

Wow, that's actually a pretty good idea, and the diagram worked just fine :). However I would really like to see it released as soon as possible, and have the cosmetic changes wait until 2.0 or something.

 

Jester whats the status on this thing, can we expect a release anytime soon?

Ok heres what you do, If not already make that area its own Region, then assign a clear material to it, or just play with the Occlusion. What program are you using to model I use 3ds Max 9 and 2009

[Celice]

Oh, that's not my model. I just took the general shot by the first post and modified it to show what I thought was cosmetically appealing--though, maybe this will help the guy out if he didn't already have an idea of how to do this, if he wishes to and realists aside, good looks are what gets the mods downloaded usually

 

The gun really reminds me of the Plasma Rifle from the shooter TimeSplitters 2--that's kinda why I'm interested in this weapon more than simply to play with. Looking forward to release of any kind though ^^

I like the general look, but it's missing the retrofuturistic vibe. Look up EM-2 on world.guns.ru to get my point.

 

Anywhoo, since you asked for lore assessment, I can say that pulse rifles from Aliens never were a part of Fallout. Energy-based Yuma Flats YK32 Pulse Pistol and YK42b Pulse Rifles were.

Thank you - good points!

 

Currently the magazine looks like the images below, but I really like the frame idea, so I think I'm going to change it. Please note it now has a trigger and sights!

 

 

 

 

 

Also, dead right about the name - I'd forgotten that there were already pulse rifles in Fallout. So - any suggestions? I'm still pretty attached to the weapon description - 5mm, rapid 3 rnd bursts (a bit like a G11, except that that only manages a single fast burst before falling back on slow automatic fire - something I can't do in the GECK) - so it needs something that brings that to mind.

You know, the frame mag makes it look too much like a Lancer from Gears of War. How about a horizontal mag in the front grip?

 

Anywhoo...

 

Prototype Assault Rifle

 

Item desc:

 

A 5mm ACHILLES Assault Rifle. Rarely seen before the war, quite probably due to it still being a Poseidon Energy prototype.

 

Full desc:

 

The ACHILLES was supposed to be the next generation assault rifle, developed specifically for the Enclave by Poseidon Energy research and development labs. It's innovative horizontal magazine resulted in very high magazine capacity while it's sturdy built allowed for a high rate of fire and reliability. The ACHILLES never saw deployment, as the nuclear war of 2077 obliterated any and all methods of deploying such a weapon.

I like the name. The problem with moving the magazine is I want to use the standard assault rifle / Chinese assault rifle reloading animation. Needs to have the magazine in the same place.

 

I'm having a little difficulty getting the frame idea to look right, probably just needs some poking.

[KalinSaast1981]

I am a massive Aliens fan, i think your idea is brilliant. The picture looks good but i think it would be alot better if you tried to keep the pulse rifle as accurate as possible.

( M41A Pulse rifle 10mm Over , and under 50mm Pump action grenade launcher.) I know it would probably be a lot more work to get the grenade launcher on as well. Ive already seen a couple of mods here on nexus with interchangable ammo. So it definately sounds possible.

 

Good luck with the mod. Will definately be downloading this one. :thumbsup:

Well, the M199 rifle (supposedly the mainstay of the US Army as listed in the Museum of Technology) never shows up anywhere, so this could be your version. Heck, make it "experimental" (as in unique so the 5mm ammo is somewhat canon-friendly instead of the 5.56 ammo I think is the norm) and go from there. Of course, if that weedy assault rifle that is found lying about everywhere is the M199, I'm going to seriously wonder how the US kicked any Chinese keister out of Alaska, much less straight back into mainland China.

 

Yes, your new piece looks quite good. :thumbsup: Especially if it's somewhat beefy and rugged and looks like a proper-sized gun for power armor. It should be smaller than a flamer, but only by a small amount. IMHO, of course. :whistling:
