excellent drawing.

Compact? What's going on with the top half of it?

Also, not too sure about that mag placement. MIght go in ok, but it does look like the structure rear of the pistol grip would get in the way of a clean, easy insertion.

It's a bullpup. Not entirely uncommon in gun design to have the magazine back there.

I assume the red handle is the latch release for the top-mount grenade launcher?

I'm not complaining about the bullpup configuration (not unfamiliar with them, though I've never fired a weapon in that config), I'm just pointing out that I think the current configuration in the vicinity of the mag would impede easy and rapid insertion of a new mag, which is not a good thing.

Ooooo more weapons!

I can't quite tell all the details, but that's definately a good-looking (And seemingly well-designed!) gun. I want one. :>

I don't really see any case ejection ports, so I'm guessing it fires caseless rounds. And is that a top mounted grenade-launcher?

After looking at the butt of of the rifle, it could probably house a Kriss like reciever system.

Why you always make the good stuff? X_X *rolls away to find some money to buy this offa you*

Breech loading grenade launcher on the top?
Opens at the back while hinging at the front?

Huh.. thats what I had been thinking but I kept thinking it couldnt be because it wasnt mounted on the underside like an M 203. Looking at the M203 design though I could imagine that this might actually be easier to aim.

Hmn... I see an aim-point, I believe. Bull-pup design. ROF selector. Not too sure what the larger top-mounted barrel is supposed to be, though. But could possibly be a shotgun, grenade launcher, or something as simple as a torch. That's about all I can distinguish this early in the morning.

Actually, the optics on that are very close to an EOTech holographic sight, not an aimpoint. You see a fair number of them in the sandboxes these days, from the photos I've seen.

Hmn, I'm not too terribly up-to-date on weapons technology, so I said the closest thing I could think of. But from looking, yes, you are correct.

Interesting design. Seems fairly functional, but I can't quite identify some of the features' uses. I can only speculate really. Either way, I'm sure there's an internal design that completes this.

Hm I lived in DC after college so I've never been able to own a gun, but I'll give a crack at it ...

Bullpup, short stock, short barrel -> close-quarters combat. + short grip = attempt at concealability or easy transport/carrying for mobile infantry. Selector has auto/semi/safe/canister, with a 50mm launcher slung over, so that'd be an anti-personnel; especially with the small caliber, I'd say it's designed for high-velocity rounds (assault rifle duh?) in an attempt to get through light armor ... but I'd expect to see radiators in that case, and the short barrel is a big compromise with small-caliber ammo.

I expected some indication that the stock telescopes, or else this is for a species with really short forearms. Which doesn't quite line up with the grip, which looks like it's designed for hands that are 2/3 as tall as the gun.

The ghost ring sight sort of goes against my short-range feelings since it reduces visibility at short range, but it's hella cool and I'd always add it on my loadout in COD4 anyway.

Rails in front of scope = bad news?

I thought that the hole in front of the slide was the case ejector, but ZeroSeven got me thinking about it, and it is quite short for AR rounds. Between this and the small caliber + short barrel + short ejector, maybe we're talking a scifi propellant?

Curiosity piqued.

well, it looks bull-pop - very steyr-aug

(stares at it) ok well it's got a bullpup design that's for sure. it looks like it has a breach loading grenade launcher on top and a telescopic stock. oh and a free floating barrel... oh and this model looks like it's left handed too

Hmmm. No ejection port that I can see, so I'm assuming it fires caseless ammunition. Bullpup configuration with fire select switch featuring semi-auto and full-auto fire modes. Position on the fire select switch for what I'm assuming is a top-mounted breech-loading 40mm grenade launcher, which is released by the small red switch on the side. Range-finder/scope attached to picatinny rail on top of the weapon. Appears to be a groove on the rear of the pistol grip to aid guiding the magazine into the receiver.

wheres the flame-thrower on this gun?

spiffy. Looks like an amalgamation of all the futuristic new weapons being developed nowadays.

U know that looks similar to a Tar-21 yours is just a little more compact ^^
Very nice tho

This looks something like the defunct OICW project a while back. The one that split into the XM-8 and XM-25.

It could also take a page from the FN-2000 or the Tar-21. Probably the FN-2000's frontal case ejection if necessary.

Bullpup firing caseless ammunition? Anyway, loks damn nice ^^

Bulplup design...

Sweeeet...

stock reminds me of the FN2000,looks very functional can't wait to see the specs from the designer's side

Move the charging handle forward, too far back needs to be at least even with the pistol grip

Cool! Looks like the pulse rifle from Aliens!

Looks like a mix of a FN P90 and an L85 SA80. I love both. =3

Awesome :3 You draw guns so well XD

Really like the perspective on it, also I really like bullpup clips, and lastly I like how the barrel for the main gun is on the bottom.

Kinda looks like an Aug, shotgun and an m203 had an illegitimate love child. Intersting would be one way of putting the results. Though do i see some Tavor influence in there?

give this a look see. been playing around with it a bit myself and it's kinda fun. http://pimpmygun.doctornoob.com/app.html

Very similar to an Israeli Tavor Tar-21, no? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IMI_Tavor_TAR-21. Legal here, I've fired one.

Awesome Rifle man! Would love to have that in my collection. ^^

Sounds german, or at least european.

Now, admittedly, I don't really know the first thing about weapon design, but from what I've seen, the port where spent casings are ejected tends to be on the "outer" side... typically on the right, for right-handed users. Not seeing one here, I can guess this one can be either adjusted for left-handed users, or goes with caseless ammunition...

But I'm just guessing, honestly. I don't even know what the bright red bit on the side is for - though I'd guess it might be a release for the grenade launcher mounted above it...

That is amazingly awesome! What weapons were you looking at at the time. Looks like an F200 wixed wth a few other things to make perfectness.

obviously select fire, and very compact. bullpup design.

not much else to gather from it seeing the outside alone.

although i do see something above the barrel. integrated flashlight? maybe a grenade launcher?

ah yes! i see the selector switch for grenades.

overall i very much like this design. thumbs up to you

is it left handed, forward ejecting or ceaseless?cause with no ejector port on the right hand side it would throw cases at a right handed shooter. the sling loops on top are a nice touch no good for marksmanship but really good when you need to carry the thing ready to fire on a sling.

i want one slap a 37mm flare launcher on it and it would be legal. with out class 3

market it as having a built in signaling device for emergency's

Woooooow, SUPERB :3 :3 :3

I assume the grenade launcher is top-mounted so that the sight is fixed to the launcher; requiring little calibration, but I would have to say that having a separate selector position for grenades is dangerous, as it essentially disables the rifle's primary function, meaning that if someone attacks you from close range, you have one shot to incapacitate them if you want to avoid CQC. I would suggest a foregrip with a separate trigger assembly for the grenade launcher.

Of course, I can only suggest. In the end I don't have any real say.

As someone mentioned before, it appears to use caseless ammunition, and though I can't see the other side, I would hope both the action and the grenade launcher latch (assuming I'm right on what that is) can be operated from either side. And I can't say for sure, but I would hazard a guess that the butt has some sort of recoil-reducing mechanism. It appears to be gas-operated, though I can't be sure. Not entirely sure on the sight; it seems to be an advanced red-dot sight; I would think it has other functions as well.

A very nice weapon overall, but without knowing more details, I couldn't say it's an excellent field weapon.

I want one, can I have one?

Good aesthetic, so far as I can tell. As has been mentioned prior, the extractor usually pumps to the outer side, though for all we know this could be the left-handed configuration of the weapon.

I've only got 2 complaints with it. The first is likely due to it being a 'compact' rifle; the charging handle is uncomfortably close to the magazine well, which would lend for a very small length between it and the receiver. With most modern designs, the handle is usually set either far up and forward of the magazine well or just far up from it; you don't want your machining to be smashed into a small space, as you're likely to have more field failure of the parts in the weapon that are harder to replace. I'd of put the charger between the two bolts on topside of the stock m'self, and though it'd harm the aesthetic, you'd have less wear on the pieces interior of from recoil action and rough handling.

My second complaint is the way the grenade launcher looks to be reloaded; if it pops upward along a pivot towards the front, then the sight and sight railing (red dot or otherwise) pop up with it, which risks a required field siting to keep overall performance in line with the user's abilities. Now, that's on the assumption it goes upwards to load into the breach of the thing. A shotgun flip on the left side'd keep me at bay on this one.

On a last, side note, having a selective switch to go between automatic and single-shot firing is usually only found on weapons with a burst fire in between the two. It may be better off to have a selector switch to swap between standard fire and grenade, mechanically speaking, with a 2-stage trigger to decide whether it's shooting 1 round or many. That or and a burst fire, though such is only needed if fully automatic fire doesn't have enough recoil compensation for the user to deal with on a whim.

Cheers!

-VV

Very nicely done!

Fire selector switch looks like it would be hard to work, specially when being shot at.
Also appears to be a left handed weapon.

Caseless, since there's no room for top or front ejection of brass. The grenade launcher magazine doubles as the buttplate, safe/single/auto/grenade, no burst fire, though it's probably an option with a different trigger group. I don't see quick flip-up iron sights for when the launcher is removed, but then they might be hidden.

Eject is possibly on the other side of the weapon, thus why I called it a left handed weapon, but why isnt their a thumb switch for the fire selector. I want fast and easy on a rifle, not something I have to remove one hand from the weapon in order to operate. :p
As for iron sights, this appears to be a mostly fully integrated weapon, somewhat like the OC-14 Groza. And I say this cause it looks if you were to remove the launcher, you'd possibly need to change the external casing of the weapon. Its also possible that the iron signs are simply under the mount for the launcher.
Heres a second question, how do you load the launcher, unless their is a place for that on top, or the other side of the weapon. (possibly the area where the sight swings up for tube loading, looks like it mite pivot at the front of the weapon.)

I could speculate alot on this, but honestly, my only issue with it is the fire selector. It looks hard to operate quickly.

can't load the launcher from the top, because the loop for a sling is there. That said it has to come in directly from the back, OR, it's a single-shot or roman-candle type launcher , and the whole launcher barrel pivots up from the front to load from behind with a new grenade or barrel. The angle of the front of the launcher housing suggests it might pivot like that. If I had to guess, i'd say it was a fully integrated single shot launcher that pops up to reload. Decent ergonomics and keeps the weapon's weight down.

The fire selector may not be ambidextrous, and there may be a larger flange on the left side for thumb operation, but that would force it to be a caseless rifle.

The fire selector may not be ambidextrous? Why would you even have an indicator on that side if their wasn't a control for it? So my team mate can tell what fire setting I have no matter which side of me he/she stands?
Its called a design flaw, which if thats the only one it has, thats very good, and easily corrected. Or heres another idea, if the gun is electronically controlled, you may hook this weapon to a small computer and the fire selection would be made in the software, the dial is only a direct visual indicator.

Again, speculation. Rather pointless too, I'm going to bed.

This thing kinda reminds me of a mixture ofthe FN 90 and the FN 2000...
Anyhow cool rifle design^^

AND DONT LET THE BELGIQUE GET THIS XDD

Replace the pullstick above the magazine with a shell breach and put the pullstick on the other side. This makes the pullstick more easily assessed to the more common right handed.

reminds me of a famas, or a bullpup with the clip behind the trigger, great for urban close quarters

Hm... =/

sexy gun. what does it shoot?

Very nicely rendered.

Obviously inspired by the British SA80 series, which I've always thought were some of the ugliest MBRs ever created. Ugly - but damn effective, and that's what counts.

For one, I'm happy to see that it seems to have an ambidextrous fire-select. To a left-eye like myself, that's a big deal.

Kudos!

D.O.P.R

I think the butt. i think? should be a little softer, not as boxy.
but the compact design is niiiiiiiice.

nice man, resembles the ASP rifle from F.E.A.R.

I am not going to stoop to assume i've seen this anywhere.. god i can't stand that.. AWSOME WORK AS ALWAYS.. your mechanical design is flawless, and i think it's awsome. please keep it up.. i watch religiously.

Okay, wild stab in the dark time...

First guess: Electronic trigger. Kinda has to be if it is going to operate the gun *and* the heavy module on top. And I say 'heavy module' because I can see that being a grenade launcher, shotgun, targeting laser, high powered camera (etc) as the mission requires it. This woudl replace several mecchanical failure modes with the single worry about power - whicch is not any kind of worry at all when every gun shot can recharge the battery in the same way it already 'recharges' the gun's hammer. The sight also looks a little too baulky for just a holographic display. I assume at least some computer function.

Second guess: It don't use NATO bullet cases. Possibly caseless (though that magazine makes it unlikely) but more likely semi-combustable cases, similar to the ones used in American tanks. That red thing is also the case ejection system. (Not the grade catch, that seems to be just behid the sight.) It's forward enough of the face that it wouldn't matter to a leftie using it. Or possibly you've just arbitrarily decided the race that uses this has no left handed members.

Third guess: Metal storm system for the grenade launcher. Only real reason that the tube needs to be that long. And possibly steyr ACR feed mechanism for the regular bullets? and that butt plate might not be made from ordinary rubber, but I'm reaching at this point.

Hmm.

Looks like a PP-19 and a TAR-21 Mixed.
