Souped up Nailgun

MeteoriteMuse

I've developed a concept for an Unreal mod, involving making a souped up nailgun that would shoot railroad spikes.


I'd like to know what silhouettes for the gun people like best, personally I'm leaning towards a rifle or shotgun shaped gun.

And the character to go with...


There are probably a lot of mistakes with anatomy, but this is just the initial scribble for it...

shotgun/rifle shaped is boring! I like the nailgun image right below reference G, a nailgun should be stubby and mean looking.

i disagree a rifle shape would work. G matches the characters style. try doing one that resembles a revolver that would work really well with this style of character. a tommygun would fit too.

You have to make sure people can see the spikes, otherwise it might as well just be a rifle. I like the revolver/tommygun idea, reloading railroad spikes one by one would send the right message! I would even suggest sawing off the front, make it a hand cannon. Since you're shooting such awkward ammo you know its not for practicality, really lay it on thick.

The character doesnt give me that "Railroad construction" vibe. Too scrawny not enough scruff, show me the chest hair! Pick ax for his melee weapon, panning gold when he has the time... maybe thats just me?

i like E and D. Since it shoots nails which are pretty crude in terms of ammunition, go for something short, stubby and burly looking. Just making a rifle shoot nails is boring and typical.

maybe get some ref for handguns and and even some Hydraulic tools
