<div class="IPBDescription">could be ported from cs</div> this is a cs gun model, i think it would make an awesome lmg or hmg or both!!!!!
if someone could port it over, or rework it that would be awesome.

*EDIT*
Screen shots are from clan of the dead goat gun shop.. also the model can be found there
still, looks pretty cool. sorta.
The top half is the part that contains the enhanced optics, and the semi-automatic 20mm grenade launcher (m203 is pump action) the unfortunate problem is that it weighs about about half as much again as an M4/M203 combo, and the fact that it has no iron sights, which means if the optics fail, you dont have any precision aiming. apparently, its going to cost around $10,000 per gun, and its due for its commercial release in 2008, i think.
what can i say? i like guns!
Gecko.
well anway, the OICW is supposed to be part of the US army's Land Warrior project
its a souped up infantry that costs lots, but is highly effective
yes, it's huge, it's exspensive, it's got a toaster built into it...what else would you expect?
----
as soon as i figure out why i can't COPY anything from one MS3D file to another, i'll start to think about modeling/converting one of those....
Microsoft & Bugie work close together on the Halo thing , wy do you think Halo for the pc is thaking so long? hint : Microsoft = X-Box= big losses , needs a few good games only avaible on x-box so that some gamers wil only buy a x-box to play halo.
many things were left out; ie, minigun, flamer, sword, etc
and notice the reuse of level elements
halo PC will be the version that bungie inended it to be with all the extra fixins
to my knowledge anyway
SUYF Microsoft didn't make the gun. Bungie did, and Halo owns j00!

You dont know jack about guns do you? That is possibly the finest peice of millertary equipment EVER made.
It has a 15 mm barrel ( im almost 100% positive it is) and 20mm grenades. Its going into the united states army in 1 or 2 years and may possibly see combat testing in the war with iraq.
The OICW is a next generate weapon. The ammo actually has a computer on-board. You thought smart bombs were cool. Well, this gun takes smart weapons to the next level. Imagine being in a sniper fight with your enemy. Both your enemy and you are hiding behind heavy bullet proof shelters. But you have the advantage. You have a OICW. Your weapon has a built-in range finder. Now that you know the distance between you and your enemy, for example 720 feet away. You don't need to directly hit him if he is hiding behind something. You point your gun over his position or behind him. The gun actually programs the ammo to explode at 725 feet which will blast shrapnel all over. With the OICW, line of sight is no longer a rule for sniper fights!
The Ammo that knows when to explode and become shrapnel. When you don't have a clear shot. Switching to the 20MM explosive round. Each round of Smart Ammo has an on-board computer and costs $25.00. The OICW holds a clip of 6 x 20MM smart ammo.
Experiences in peacekeeping in Kosovo and other places, sometime not so peaceful, have provided the Army with the need for a weapon with a little more versatility and, according to the articles, lethality as well. With a tracking laser site, a selectable, above-ground bust capability, and supposed increased precision, the Army might just have something.
A Marine's Opinion
When I review all the information, this weapon appears to be a marriage between the lower receiver of a Shoulder fired, Man portable, Assault Weapon (SMAW) and an M16/M4. Although this weapon is based on the M203 most infantry units carry today, there are some huge differences.
Advantages
First off, if looks could kill, this stocky, tough-looking weapon would win, hands-down. Thankfully, the Marine Corps has never relied upon looks alone to win, but I think this weapon might fall right into our line of thinking anyway.
Take, for instance, the 20 MM grenade launcher capability. I consider this the to be the preeminent part of this system. This weapon uses a laser range finder to pinpoint the target range and delay burst fuse which will place the bust directly overhead of the intended target. Talk about making something grunt-proof!
I can see the Squad Leaders of the future saying, "Look, Joe-bag-of-doughnuts, just point the range finder at the enemy, hit the 20 MM button and watch for the pink mist." And to top that off, you can do this in the day or night thanks to a fancy, rocket-scientist, "uncooled IR sensor technology for night vision," at twice the range of the current M203. How's that for some stand-off distance?
Additionally, this weapon's sighting system boasts the ability to track moving targets and to identify the closest enemy threat for you. Next thing you know we will be mounting this thing on unmanned tracked vehicles, sending them remotely into the battle area while we all sit in some protected rear area with virtual reality helmets on working this whole battle like a video game.
Now, really looking at the weapon statistics, I see that the recoil is a little more then the current M16 recoil, which is no big deal. It is still a whole heck of a lot less then the M14 or automatic shotgun. I really could see the advantage of a system such as this. It would provide increased stand-off and more precise detonation of rounds, therefore creating a more efficient use of ammo, meaning I would potentially shoot less, but my kill ratio would not suffer. I was worried there for a moment.
Another advantage I see immediately is the ability to separate this weapon system. (Yes, I know you can take the tube off the M203, but then your forward hand guard is gone for support). This weapon breaks down into two logical weapons that would allow one Marine to pick it up and attach it to his weapon without having to loose his personal weapon in the trade. The disadvantage is that it appears you can not fire the 20 MM grenade launcher independent of the rifle. Now that would be good to go, but, alas, they didn't get that far.

,cause the mechanical disaster is practicaly non existent.. this weapon is tested now for so many years...(even longer than the real mechanical disaster called m16 <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> .. the real test comes later and was called vietnam)
