M60 Machine Gun for FPS Game

pixelalp

Hi everyone!
I have modelled and textured a classic beast for GoodKill of Gamegine. GoodKill is a rail shooter FPS game that you are a U.S. Army helicopter door gunner in Vietnam War.

About 1.5 year ago I posted my first topic in this forum to get feedbacks and I feel like my career has reborn that day. The critics were intense but I feel like improved thanks to them, hope you like it!

Software: Blender, Substance Painter, Marmoset Toolbag

Had trained in the 1980s as an armored reconnaissance Assault Troop section gunner M60 7.62 NATO among other roles within my unit alongside various Vietnam era weapon systems as well, so I think your modeling refs may have been of a later variant which btw a weapon still in service today. 

Anyway, main crit is wear and contact damage these things were prone too because manufacture included stamp metal components plus polymar - feed cover extension & carry handle.

You have my respect sir. I will pay double attention on the next assets to be sure about true references.

I noticed those polymer parts' weakness and tried to emphasize them with surface bumps especially on stock. But as I learned some components tended to worn too much like barrel, feed cover, forearm etc. were changed with the new ones as maintenance regularly, is it true? Because it is the reason I didn't exaggerate edge wears and surface dirts of those parts.

Btw if you notice any misunderstood assets&details about my works or the game's itself please let us know, we will be glad @sacboi

Recall barrels being 'shot out' due to worn rifling then immediately switched with a replacement when in operation (bursts of fire) for an extended period but as long as the weapon was serviceable i.e. able to perform it's task for which it was designed and manufactured, then despite routine wear and tear - scratched surfaces or minor dents picked up in the field on exercise, to my knowledge was the only component regularly changed.

Anyhow linked wikipedia image is pretty much how I remember an ex-Vietnam war M60 would look like.
