Futuristic gun task

The aim is to create a projectile firing gun, my favourite gun type being sniper rifles i went on to brainstorm, after some research into the form of sniper rifles and the way artists interprit them i dug up an old love, the russian anti tank rifle 'PTRD-41', packing immense power and a fantastic form i went on to create some concepts.

I wanted the sniper rifle to have a lot of functionality, a normal stand, an optional scope; the rifle would feature iron sights and a camera and visor for the scope.
a third leg is featured if the user is having difficulty finding a good/steady angle, the leg would move smoothly like a joystick.
The rifle would feature a single bullet bolt action mechanism.
















3D model progress

Although I wanted to finish the design with mudbox I had no idea on how to use the software, I am still quite happy with the concept as it is a ridiculous sniper that could pack an immense punch.
