i want one!

it looks really good. the only thing i would suggest is where the three barrels should have their opening up by the front, i don't see any. i just see the three tubes jut into the holding piece on the end, but nowhere for the bullets to come out. i think if the barrels stuck out a a little bit further than the holding piece, it might look a bit more functional.

i want one too

only crit i can make is theres a few very harsh highlights that draws the attention way from the unique design and texture of the model, other than that very nice

it looks like the dark texture destroys the normalmap completely:/

In my opinion it's always a good idea to paste the ambient occlusion into the diffuse with an opacity of about 30%. No matter how next-gen your game is, standing in the shadows will always kind of "deactivate" your normalmap...

which is logical because the light is supposed to bring out the details.
But if the texture is so dark that you cant even tell it has a normalmap..

Actually, i did overlay the AO into the diffuse. It just came out a bit too dark. Thanks for the comments!
