    that skin will probably have difficulty wrapping (as it is only one side of the object), but does look really good. I'd say keep it up, a good skinner is never something people hate to have around.

    lol, i know their not 9mm's but i thought the clip looked more like a pistol clip tho if it were it woulda be quite a long clip <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif' /><!--endemo--> bleh, still looks pretty tho <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Clips dont look ANYTHING like that and the gun is F.U.B.A.R.
    I shoot a glock every week or two so I know what it looks like, the slides WAY bigger, the grip indents on the back go to the top, the shell discharger is right at the top overlaping to the side part.

    Buts its cool.
    Keep going.

    I don't think he was going for accuracy, just for practice. Note the 7.62s in the "9mm" magazine. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    It surely have been already said but these are conical high-pressure ammo that is generally used for rifles (the only pistol I know that uses this kind of ammo is the FiveseveN).
    there I have an image for you, it's a 9X19mm bullet next to a 30-06 bullet

    It looks pretty nice, but I think the clip is lacking in some areas- I think you should narrow your highlights, use scratches to emphasize it more. Also the transperant part doesnt seem transperant. The backround behind the 'glass' should be considerably more different from the rest of the clip. You need to emphasize that the bullets are under the clip more. Also, I'm not sure about you highlighing the glass to make it seem round, it half-way gives the impression that you are trying to make it pop out, but you dont continue to make it stand out. Personnally it looks like it should just be a flat surface.

    These are just my views.

    Two more things to check:

    1. Make bullets bigger, they are supposed to be as long as the magazine is wide. They're only half-size now.

    2. make a follower and a spring in your magazine under the bullets

    3. Don't touch the glass effect, it's perfect! <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Very nice! I kniow that there is a luger pistol that had a window like this back in WWII. I'll see if I can find a picture of it. (The windowed lugers were/are very rare & expensive, so I could might find a picture from a luger collector's collection.)

    [edit] No luck with either altavista's or google's image search. Drat.

    You can also put the bullets in 2 columns for higher capacity...

    woah, very nice! The glass is much better.

    Just touch up on the text abit more, you might want to try an engraved effect for better results. Also, I think you should redo the arrow or something, I'm not sure about how you lit it. By the way, very nice holes. Keep up the good work.
