Hello this is my first time posting on Polycount, and I'm modeling a weapon that I concepted. While I was concepting this gun I was heavy influenced by Halo 4 and 5's UNSC Weapons my model so far is fairly different from my concept in terms of some proportions and details but the overall silhouette is still pretty close to my original concept. My idea for this weapon is for it to be a Heavy assault Lazer Rifle that is used as a mid ranged weapon to mow down enemies or used as suppressing fire, but since its a lazer it can also be fired accurately at distance. My reasoning for a side grip was to make this weapon standout, give it an interesting POV silhouette and to make it more comfortable to fire. In my experience of firing weapons like the M4 and the M249 SAW I found that if the weapon was on the heavy side I would like to use more shoulder muscles to help me hold it up for extended periods of time.
Im open to any feedback
Older progress of the weapon along with real world examples of the side grips
