Looks good, the fur and shading turned out great as well.

It only appears that sergals would have trouble using human sights only because the sights normally don't sit high enough or the stock is two short. If a sergal wanted to use most firearms, they would only need to adjust it so that they are comfortable with it.

Sergals would definitely would have trouble using a shotgun properly without a custom sight because I have trouble using the sight rail, but a M4 carbine would easy for them to use because all M4 carbines have adjustable stocks and the iron sights sit high on the weapon.

It's possible, but I don't think sergals would like firearms because of the noise... But one could always use a suppressor.

Thanks for the informative comment.
I considered those options but assumed that a stock adjusted in a way to allow comfortable aiming for a Sergal wouldn't be able to properly deal with the recoil and would become to unwieldy.
My knowledge about firearms is only theoretical though.

You do have a good point, but recoil is handled in many ways.

The weapon itself absorbs most of the recoil through its weight and automatics use the recoil to cycle which reduces some of the recoil. Automatic weapons also have a device call a recoil buffer which depending on its purpose can greatly reduce recoil.

When it comes to controlling a weapon it is all in the operator's stance and hand placement. Each weapon and operator is different, so I cannot accurately say the best placement for one's hands, but in my experience it is best to keep your hands as close together as possible.

With that said I actually believe sergals would have an easy time handling firearms because their bodies are more angled and overall more stable. Also their arms are long enough to place their hands anywhere on the weapon.

I'll keep that in mind.
Things like proper stance and hand placement are going to be a challenge.

If you are going to draw the sergal using the weapon, I would suggest having both elbows at 90 degree angles (1600 Mils), the knees should be slightly bent and the legs should be in a triangular formation with the feet both facing the same direction. The sergal should be leaning into the weapon with one hand on the grip and the other should be at the end of the stock closest to the barrel just slightly behind the edge.

That is a proper rifle stance.

My friend is also working on a sergal that will be wearing a combat uniform and an artist's rendering of the rifle I am currently working on.

Good luck.

Funny. That rifle looks close to one I'm designing, but my design is still quite different.

Good work.
