Hey there. Just gave you a bit more describing thread title.
I will dig up a few good ones that helped me out when I started out.
Here we are:
Creating a weapon for Source "Glock tutorial"
Part 1: modeling the weapon
http://www.moddb.com/tutorials/creating ... for-source
Part 2: unwrapping and texturing the weapon
http://www.moddb.com/tutorials/creating ... rce-part-2
Part 3: rigging, animating and importing into Source engine
http://www.moddb.com/tutorials/creating ... rce-part-3
Alternative modeling vid "Beretta tutorial"
http://www.moddb.com/tutorials/beretta- ... o-tutorial
Small beginner vids. Anoying video player but some good ones for beginning and understanding 3ds max.
http://www.video-tutes.com/packages/3d1.php
Other than that I can recommend using autodesks own tutorials. they have some long .pdf's on a lot of subjects.
General questions and problems are frequently asked here in this forum so feel free to post pics and ask if you run into problems.
Good hunting

Seeing as it's a LAW under another name, most of it will be the tube (Cylinder) the ridge down the back, whihch can be done with manupulating boxes and whatever else is on it. I find the easiest thing to do is to take primitive objects then change htem

The IDF has a LAW:
https://www.realitymod.com/forum/f193-i ... f-wip.html
it is also ingame.
If you want to make your own I think it will be a good idea, if you want to pratice modeling.

The Zolja looks a bit different from the M72 LAW... its a bit longer, and the M72 LAW is 66mm and the M80 "Zolja" 64mm

M72 and M80 are really different...using the M72 might be a placeholder until the M80 is done

very nice for 1 hour
Also, put in backface cull and dont make it a tube waste of tris, noone will see it, only time you'd see through it would be when youve shot it and its on the ground
