Mordern Tommy Gun

Greenmutze

Hi guys

I want to share with you my Tommy Gun wich im currently working. i mixed a Tommy Gun with a Scar. little things are still missing but when im done with the concept i will create this baby in 3d

Please give me some feedback and thanks for looking

I almost wish the clip was a tad further back. And the hole for the trigger finger feels a bit too bulky or large.

I like the stuff man. I really want to see the 3d.

The grip at the front is a little too similar to the main grip I think. I don't know shit about guns though. I just think it would be more aesthetically pleasing to have a bit more variety in the silloette

Greenmutze

@jeremiah_Bigley, yes the hole is to big. i will make it smaller, then i can put the clip/barrel a little bit back

@Selznog, i know what you mean but the front grip of the original tommy gun has the same angle as the back grip. maybe i will change a little bit the shape of the front grip

thx for the feedback

Avast my Hearties
here the new version and a second pic with some ideas



Please give me some feedback and thanks for looking

is that the bullet eject slot above the drum mag? aren't those typically on the right side of the gun? also you need some sort of cocking handle.

ok so the cocking handle is on the left side and the bullet ejcet on right? is that correct?

This isn't going to work right now. Interesting ideas, but you need to apply some scrutiny to your design.

I think the drum magazine is way too small. What kind of round is it firing? Bullet + cartridge + some kind of mechanism has to fit in there. Eject port's in the right place (above the magazine) but again, it's too small. And the barrel length is pretty tiny, the whole gun is fairly confusing in terms of scale. How does the firer hold the fore-grip without the drum magazine obstructing his grip? How does the firer use the stock? What function does all of that space on the receiver behind the eject port do? Is it just a slab of metal?

What I would do to keep the compact, PDW look you have, is haul the magazine, grip, and eject port way back along the body of the gun. Attatch them back where the stock meets the receiver. This will make a lot more ergonomic sense and it will nearly double the barrel length. Also consider mounting the scope a little farther back and higher up.

Try to think more about how guns are put together!

Joseph Silverman brings up a lot of good points. The first thing that caught my eye is the stock. It doesn't look functional to be honest.

My other concern is that the FN SCAR fires a 5.56x45mm, whereas the Thompson fires a .45 ACP. Which are two very different caliber rounds. What would this gun fire? The SCAR is classified as an "Assault Rifle" and the Thompson as a "Sub-machine gun". They are two different weapons for two different roles. Combining them doesn't make sense to me.

Why does your gun have a drum magazine? It would make sense to me if it was a weapon meant for a support role (Such as an RPK) but if this is an assault rifle it would just get in the way. My point is, what is the intended role of your weapon?

P.S. You should have a compensator on the barrel of your gun to avoid muzzle climb.

Start slowly are interested in this.

There's a show on the History Channel called "Sons of Guns", they made a tactical upgrade to Thompson for a local sheriff, here's a link to the picture linkage

^ that's pretty awesome right there.

Justin_Meisse: Damn thats awesome. Thompson is one of my favorite guns.

Greenmutze: interesting take on modern tommy gun. but rite now it looks a bit futuristic instead of modern, might be the yellow thats throwing it off. not a fan of the trigger redesign, but thats just my opinion.

Greenmutze

maybe i should rename the thread -> Sci fi rifle with a tommy touch ^^
