Looks like Chakat Bombshell is ready for a night out on the town. Bodyarmor, check, pistol, check, bullpup assault rifle, check.... Lots of ammo? You better bet on it!

chakatbombshell A camo Chakat, I jsut couldn't resist drawing hir. I'll probably get around to coloring this over the next week or two. Things have been busy as hell between college and work. Hasn't left much time for drawing, time to dive back into it though and knock the rust off my skills.

Cool :)
So, what I noticed is you have some lines on the inside of the ejection port of the handgun that look like an extractor on a bolt. Now, some handguns do have that feature, but that's usually with an internal bolt.
The pistol design you have there has the ejection port forward of the grip, which usually indicates that the whole slide moves in operation, in which case what should be showing through the ejection port is actually the side of the barrel. This is usually the case in most modern pistols, and in those it is usually flat with the caliber of the barrel stamped on it.
Basically, it looks like it's the claw that grabs the base of the brass casing and pulls it out of the chamber, and it's typically attached to the part of the gun that moves back from the force of the gun powder expanding.
Depending on what you are modeling the pistol after, you would want to do one of three things:
1: remove those lines and optionally replace it with writing (legible or not) which would indicate the caliber
example: http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/File:Colt.....nmentModel.jpg
2: as 1, but additionally put them on the slide rearward of the ejection port
example: http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/File:SIG-....._GSR_M1911.jpg
3: move the ejection port back a bit so it is above the grip, I don't know of any pistol that uses an internal bolt and an external hammer, but it's an alien gun model so who cares?
example: http://www.ruger.com/products/markI.....ages/10104.jpg (it's not visible in this picture, but the magazine follows the angle of the grip, and its top is lined up with the ejection port)

I see what I did wrong, I own a Ruger P95DC which I had just glanced at while drawing this, it has the extraction behind the ejection port as you pointed out. *nods* I'll keep those in mind when I'm doing futuristic guns. *blushes at such a mistake* I usually use refs, but only when I'm going for a specific gun. Thanks for pointing it out for me.
