Description
Made in 3ds Max 2009Textures made in Adobe Photoshop CS3
Modeling Time - 4 hours
Texturing Time - 4 hours (approx.)
Inspired by the weapon from the game "Half-Life 2"
INFO:
The Overwatch Standard Issue AR2 Pulse rifle, or simply refered to as the Pulse Rifle, is the preferred weapon of the Transhuman Arm of the Combine Overwatch on Earth. The rifle descended from present day human assault rifles. But due to its different working mechanism, the design is significantly altered.
AMMUNITION:
While conventional weapons rely on the kinetic energy of solid projectiles to damage targets, the Pulse Rifle employs "dark energy plasma" traveling at high-speed to burn and incinerate enemies. The plasma is stored inside compact casings called "energy plugs". Each plug as enough dark energy plasma for 30 pulses.
FIRING:
The firing pin, a leaf-shaped piece of metal which is positioned outside the main body of the weapon, hits the detonator of the energy plug to release a portion of the plasma inside. Under normal circumstances, this plasma would burst out in all directions. But when contained within the gun's energy barrel, the plasma is directed in a straight line towards the unfortunate target. This firing mode is fully automatic and can discharge an energy plug in seconds.
Since the ammunition is plasma, the firing trajectory is perfectly flat making the weapon almost 100% accurate when fired in short bursts. However, automatic firing for prolonged periods causes the weapon to wander around due to the powerful kickback caused by the detonation of the energy plugs.
SPECIAL ADD-ON: Dark Energy Orb Launcher
Almost every issued AR2 are equipped with an underbarrel launcher which fires dark energy plasma orbs. These orbs launch at high speeds and bounce off inorganic matter. But when organic matter is struck, the orb passes through and vaporizes it completely. The only people known to use this special add-on are the highly-trained Combine Elites and the rogue physicist Gordon Freeman.

Holy crap, this is nuts. Before I zoomed in I thought it was a real model. Nice work.

Very good texture dude! other than the color is a bit blue-ish instead of grey-black and the combine logo wasn't there in the original model it rocks.

Impressive is an understatement, i was looking for a description on how the ar2 worked, and found that, and so much more!

Freaking awesome man.
Looking at it closely, and your description, made me wonder why it isn't just like a pistol? O__o It seems like half of the rifle is just useless as the barrel is only like a 1/3 of the length of the gun

well actually in Half life 2 the designers made the mistake of making Gordon Freeman hold it with only one hand [link]

Yeah I noticed that a while ago. It seems much more easier for it to be a pistol, so maybe thats where it started and then developed into this..?
Well actually I know that probably isn't true but can you blame me for cutting them some slack lol

maybe Freeman holds it with one hand 'cause he's just kickass that way

It has to have a power supply for the firing pin and other mechanisms and needs to have a stable buttstock to manage the high recoil.

i don't think it has a burst setting so the switch over the trigger would set to the launcher

I wonder how you hold these things... Ok, so I guess you put one hand on the handle thing near the trigger, and the other one behind the thing with the combine logo on it.... hmm. Good work btw.
