[Weapon] Mac10 [wip]

Post by **requiem** » 2006-09-15 06:13

This was something I did just for modeling practice, going to try and finish around 8k, then add normals (low-poly is around 60% done). Gear up for next-gen

ahaha! whats the infa-red unit for? theres a reason why these puppies are nicknamed "housewives defence" they fire so fast and have such a hilarious recoil that they are designed more for extreme close quarters firing on your houses stairs, or close quarters bodyguard defence against a single shooter running in.

unless someones changed the gas porting since the time when i had them demonstrated back in the late 1980's, they aren't much of a battlefield weapon over 20-30m distance really.

now, the Skorpion sub machine gun would be something to introduce into the game, for engineers or AT, even giving the commander one come patch 0.4 so he keeps out of the main fighting and instead does his job, which is thinking over the battleground and ordering troops round on the fly

Looks fine. A lot of bad poly distribution though, and it looks like it could be achieved with 2.5-3k polies for the amount of detail.

Nice model there Req. I wish I knew how to do that. Id get straight onto an M14 DMR if I did.

Awesome.

Now we need the classic 2 stage suppressor for the Vietnam SF look.

Or, to actually put one in game you could model a Taiwanese T-77 (which from what I understand is a modifed MAC M11A1) and see if you can get it in that Taiwan vs China map that Griffon2-6 is making.

Anyway, MACs! Woo!

I have a funny story about one of those pistols.

There was this biker guy (long dead now) who liked to build all kinds of weapons. He went ahead and built a .45 ACP MAC-10 in full auto from raw materials; just like the one in the pic.

(The auto-sear, BTW, made it an illegal class 3 weapon. He could have legally built the thing without it.)

Now, what you are supposed to do with a homebuilt firearm is rub lipstick on all the action surfaces and cycle the gun; then take it apart and see if anything's rubbing where it shouldn't. He didn't do that.

Then what you are supposed to do to test the full auto function of the weapon is to put 2 rounds in the magazine and pull the trigger once. If both bullets are fired, try more. He didn't take this precaution either.

Instead the guy put a full 30 round magazine in the thing. He proceded to take aim at a drum of kitty litter in his garage and pull the trigger. He fired a short burst and let go of the trigger but the weapon kept firing. It jumped out of his hand and landed on the floor, spinning like a pinwheel and spraying bullets all over his garage. He had to jump up and down every time the muzzle came his way until the ammuntion was exhausted. With a 1600 rpm rate of fire I am sure this was a hilarious frenzy.

Later he had to try and explain to his wife why the washing machine and dryer were riddled with half inch bullet holes.

Thanks guys

Don't know about a lot, few parts, but the rest has to be silky smooth. It's going to 8k no matter what, nothing beats hot dynamic lighting on pure polies, not even a normal map

Post by **Katarn** » 2006-09-15 21:36

what about virtual displacement maps

Post by **requiem** » 2006-09-15 22:25

Those are like normal maps on drugs, pure polies always better

Post by **Bob_Marley** » 2006-09-15 22:27

anyway, give lovely, lovely ingram!

You know you want to. Go on. Put it in. It'll be realistic, honest.

From Emergency Broadcast Network - Shoot the MAC 10

With the MAC 10/11 nobody gets away
today from the spray of a burst of a thirty round box magazine
Is a clean little unit
Only weight eight pounds in a big ten inches
Highly efficient with a rapid rate of fire
At eleven hundred rounds per minute
Don't move, don't blink, don't laugh, it will cut you in half
It a killing machine
Nine millimeter fiend
Nice balance
Compact
Real easy to conceal
And it sells real well
All the way to Argentina
Israel, Yugoslavia, Murder Corp (unintelligible)
From New York to Detroit
All the way to the Hood

(I'll shoot the MAC 10)

Buck em up and down with MAC 10 (buck=f**K) (repeat eight times)

Yes there are factual errors in the song (poetic license)

when a gun inspires anecdotes & lyrics you know you're onto a winner

if that's a laser sight on the bottom, wouldn't a household flashlight give a better indication of it's accuracy?

Post by **Bob_Marley** » 2006-09-16 01:11

Right so, there's gunna be an Ingram MAC 10 in .45 with a two stage suppressor and 40 round mag in 1.0 for the SF class, right?

Gecko1969 · Post by **Gecko1969** » 2006-09-16 05:51

Can the .45 reach the ROF of the 9 mm? Not like you will be aiming anywhere level after the first rounds. Heh.

Looking real nice requiem mate

I think as an easter egg in .4, you should include a spork pick up hidden on one of the maps.

And if you have time, make a gangster skin for the player. Have them dual wield it too, and make it recoil so much that any player will die trying to use it. Just like the sword in PoE2 and the UFO that has no flares.
