New TR weapon - Page 2

It certainly looks a bit alien for a TR gun. And assuming this is going to be the bold action class that keeps your eye in the scope for your follow-up shot, off balancing it by putting the magazine on the side doesn't seem like good gun design to me for such a supposedly accurate weapon.

Holy crap that looks awesome

I love it. Finally something that looks appropriate for a game set in the 29th century. A lot of art in this game feels very archaic, from the Vanguard to the Prowler to most of the TR arsenal.

I really hope the two new concepts hint at some sort of aesthetic upgrade for all Empires in the future, because when this thing gets released it will look way more high tec than anything in the TR arsenal.

I also seem to recall T.Ray expressing interest in some sort of alternate default armor look for all the Empires in the far future, perhaps sometime next year, and all of this could be part of the plan.

People are mentioning that it looks more VS than TR. Remember that the TR look is "refined and rounded", and it looks quite rounded to me. VS has more carapace and scales.

It's a sniper rifle by the looks of the stock and the sight

My money's on it being a TR Lasher

i'm pretty sure they were going to do that as a cert for bolt action snipers.

a trade-off imo for sniping through the scope would simply be a longer bolt- action-pull-time.

Nobody puts magazines on the side since the STEN, and we all know how great that gun was. (it wasn't)

Looks kinda cool, kinda VS-TR mashup. I think they could make it a little more rugged looking and it would be TR all the way.

Can we get a new hat with that?
