Description This gun was something I originally designed as a silhouette for my design and color class. A few days ago I got it back, and put in the details for the gun. Over winter break, I plan to make a 3D model of it. I drew the gun from all the sides I needed to work, but I slapped it all together here along with notes so others could see.
Normally I don't like to pat myself on the back, but I'm quite proud of this realistic, but highly unethical gun that I would never carry into battle. Hope you like it's unique design as well.

By the way, I'm not a gun expert, so if there are parts labeled with incorrect names, I apologize ahead of time.

While I plan to work my butt off making this over my break, don't expect to see the completed 3d model for quite some time. That takes a lot of time and effort, so you'll have to be patient with me.

Wow, speaking as someone who can't design a firearm, that looks amazing. How long did this take?

Um... When I made the silhouette, it was actually an accident and took about five seconds. We were supposed to have several silhouettes about only an inch big and of the 6 pages I did, this one was my favorite. As for making the details... that probably took 2 or 3 hours plus a few more for thinking before I started drawing. The modeling will take even longer, but so far it's promising.

Very nice... I like the heavy look and your notes are quite useful. If you'll take a suggestion from someone who knows quite a bit about firearms the "Not sure what this is" part is in the perfect place to be the rear sight, most likely what is called a dovetail, forming a V to line up the front sight post in. Especially if the latch that needs to be pushed to open the cylinder for reloading has a grove running down the barrel to let the two sights line up.

Thanks! I'll be sure to take that into account when I start modeling.
