<div class="IPBDescription">some inspiration if youre stucked</div>I've been a sportshooter for some years and always adored the look of modern competitive-weapons.
Here are some pictures/links of europian weapons(manufacturers):

apart from that, those guns, though they look light, don't look too sturdy and would probably be unsuitable for a combat situation. the marine weapon concepts we've seen so far have been streamlined, but also <b>solid</b>. so far I think I like the most recent marine weapon concepts; actually, I'd like an update on those <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad-fix.gif" />
I'm fairly confident charlie and max will be able to find or have already found the best fitting weapons.
I like ns 1 gun models (a part from the HMG) but the sounds good do with more umpth. For me the weapons need a grittyness tied with some high tech (like the ammo counter for example) Something that looks like an industrial damage deliverer rather than a sleek assassination weapon.
Right. And I said that not only did I not like the style, but excluding that, I don't think that style would even be suitable for NS2.
Personally I've always thought compact weapons, particularly submachine guns, maybe carbines and bullpup firearms, of a style similar to for example the FN P90, would be suitable for NS. (Check out the FN F2000 and SAR-21 too ;p)
*also, check out the fictional Seburo Weapons: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seburo" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seburo</a>
I reckon a corner-shot system would be pretty damn cool for marines to have at their disposal too.
Having said that though, I do like the already compact look of the more recent marine weapon concepts. I want more concepts though <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad-fix.gif" />

how do you get guns to look insectoid?
-> why?

Why insect-like? It shouldn't be a surprise at this point, because it's a big part of the marine design. They talked about it in detail in videocast 1.
How to make weapons insect-like? - No idea, since i'm not an artist. If i understood correctly, Cory's (lead artist in NS) method is that he looks at many (insect) pictures and gets inspired by some of them - then he takes these unique components and puts them into his designs.
My guess: the gun might look segmented in some areas. General shape would be curvy rather than blocky. The bottom concept weapon is much closer to what i'd imagine to be insect-inspired weapon... Again, i can't begin to imagine how the weapons will look like, but they'd have to fit in with the rest of natural/insectoid marine design.
The <b>marines</b> yes, even their other technologies, indeed. But the weapons? Doubtful.
I agree with local:

They all ready have a rather distinctive look. The very bottom lmg looks bug shaped but doesn't really match the TSA weapons IMO.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
And even if the 'why' was answered, there's still the matter of 'how'.
