The two problems I have with the model is that it's BIG, kind of looks weird when tilted (looks pretty cool in the second shot, but not the first one) and I'm not sure about the texture. I think with a little work it could look really bad ass though.

well, i got a flash of inspiration, and went though and totally reworked the entire model, and this is what i got.



ok, i confess, it's inspired by halo. BUT ONLY A LITTLE BIT! lol

i know it's radically different, and if you don't like it, i can go back to something more similar to the one before.

your thoughts?

Could be nice, try texturing it in a way like the current laser is (And make the white energy parts red like laser).. Also perhaps make it less tall/shrink it slightly.

The new model is good, but I think that the damage part should stick out instead of being retracted like that (like a taser, the farthest part from the handle is the prongs, which jut out and are not "protected").
In addition, making a melee the laser secondary is a bad idea, for all those players who have muscle memory "secondary laser = last gun"

Tell those noob players to bite my shiny metal ass.

Wait, do you seriously not have that ingrained in your instincts?

[Flying Steel]

Not really, no. I just use the scroll wheel or the number keys.

Actually that is a huge concern for me, as I USED to be that way (But now I just use the shotgun bind) --- But players who aren't used to this will be a bit annoyed. Meh.
