A gun shading.

I just thought i'd post a gun i shaded recently...easy quick and may look good...but my taste seems really offf...here's johnny...erm...i mean the gun.

if the shell comes out of where the arrow is pointing away...

where's the brass ejector?

I know almost nothing about guns, yes, its sad. Can you please englighten the depraved Horus?
Whats a brass ejector?
If its not where the shell casing is ejected out of (using a very powerful spring mechanism), what are you referring to?
-Sorry to sound noobish :(

maybe you are misunderstanding horus. when you fire a gun, there is a shell which is tipped with the bullet. when the hammer strikes, it blows out the bullet, and the shell, the remaining empty case is ejected from a slot in the side of the gun

this should help things out with explain parts of the gun..,.

here's the text to the 2nd one copied from plykarbon
The handle should be wide and long enough to accomodate the clip. Pulling back on the slide pulls the first bullet out of the clip and into the chamber. When the trigger is squeezed, the firing pin (not shown) smacks the back of the bullet and sends the lead part flying down the barrel..the brass casing ejects out the top of the gun. The force of the bullet leaving slams the slide back and loads the next bullet into the chamber.

and carrigon, it would be the firing pin. not all guns have a hammer, the only to my knowledge that has a hammer, would be any revolver, desert eagle, and beretta.

and i think the barrel seems to be thick. like a 1.75 calibur...

Hits the gunpower equivalent right?
So yea, its ejected from the top. I knew all that, just i really have never heard of
Brass being the casing left over?
I think i am weaving myself in a web of my own assumptions...

the technical term would be call the brass but its mostly known as a shell

wow instant messenging using forums. neways
where did that picture go a second ago.

Yes, the trick with drawing a good original gun is too have it make sense. I see wire in the back of the gun, what's it for?

If you have a clip of ammunition, u certainly don't need that wire. If you want to make a futuristic gun that doesn't use bullets but superpower liquid oxygen, make it work that way.

>>I have learned a few things with this post
1. Create rough story for drawing. (HA HA)
2. Explain Inspiration
3. Create an elaborate explanation (not really eh?)

>> 1. This gun is the ASU 45, a predecessor of the more reliable SDU 64. The gun is created for close quarters combat, and is therefore desgined in consideration to size and efficiency. It is set on a semi-automatic mode to fire rounds of three with breaks for cooling. It IS EXPLICITLY stated that this should not be used as a MAIN battle armament in any skirmish. It's only downside is the unpredictable malfunction in the LTS (Lazer targeting system [the cylindrical contruct BELOW the main weapon's firing shaft]) which has been known to inadvetently jam the weapon by feeding it insanely outrageous targetting adjustment data. The gun has a thirty round clip, the last three of which are commonly replaced for:
27. Flare Round
28. Incendary Round
29. Shrapnel Round
This gun is compliant with almost all known imperial battle armor, and the systems, created with simplicity in kind, can intergrate with almost all miliatry processing units known to the techpriests of mars. The gun can withstand shock and and internal cooling system (*) is known to safely dissipate any worries of a heat overload caused weapon jam.
(*) The cooling system will need an external power soruce to function at maximum capacity.
The wiring in the back of this weapon can be integrated into any imperial made battle armor, and can, be used as a replacement for a lost limb.
Upgrades:
The 30 round clip can be exchanged for a belt fed system, and it is advised that
if this is done, the gun be atatched to the structural support system of a suit of battle armor. The firing mdoe cna be interanlly reset to both single shot and full automatic.
>> 2 40k guns rule man!, yea, so i do 40k, i pick up alot of influences from it.

Sorry to dbl post(you can take a post away formme or soemthing if an admin can be found), but you would never notice this otherwise:
Are you happy now The_Someone?
I wrote you a story, a long story, just to explain:
Thank you for listening.
-Horus. Watch for more of my semi noobish stuff in the future. Now if someoen would challenge me for that mechanical cosntruct thing...^_^

reminds me of a commiebolter....

or a mac10, for some reason, it looks nothing like a mac

:god_help_us: nah looks more of a combi flamethrower :god_help_us:

A mac uses the handle for two functions : holding the gun and storing its amunition clip (i think, at least, if i remember my years of cs at all)
Its int he 'bolter style'.

Can i pelase be directed to a PROPERLY shaded gun then? Its nice telling me this, but what will I learn from the comment?
