I kinda liked the old-timey flyspray can weapon. The new direction is a whole lot more generic. Why not go for something really interesting to differentiate from the mountain of other techy rifles which are already in development for this comp.
Techy weapons suck, they're sooo hawkprey. Screw the standards and do a toxic spray gun! They don't have to be totally cylinderic with duct tape/elastics. You could do a wacky post-apoc one with like mixed with a vintage shotgun.
OH SHIT- ya know, I never come over to "contests and challenges" and pretty much camp pimping and previews. I feel like I just a found a whole other layer of polycount. down the rabbit hole :P
I like the direction your going, nice clean thumbs. my crit for your current design is it might be a bit too front heavy from a design/look stand point.
maybe try adding some bulk to the stalk, or make a the front end more skeletal. (if that makes sense) 0_o
I still see the same issues I remember you having a few months ago, you see to just take the polys here and here and extrude/carve randomly, I don't see any flow in the way the details are spread (well the few you have modeled, I suppose it's still mostly blocking out stuff). or even a logic behind some of them, some look like aeration holes, but others just look like they are weakening the structure and were just put there because this area needed some details.
sorry if it sounds a bit harsh or anything, not meaning to, just saying what jumped at me at first.
lookin pretty sweet man, I dig the direction. biggest crit is probably a technical gripe. some of your small details might be a bit to small. remember its crazy key to push small details like that to the point where they might seem a bit exaggerated. make your inset bevels have a much more extreme slope so the projection rays cant miss em.
OMG HURRY 3 mor days.

cool stuff, now I wanna make a gun damnit!
Changed some shapes cause I didn't like how the other shapes were working.
Might drop the grenade launcher as I don't like it's shape or I'll just change it. We shall see.
