Here's the DECAP-R (Designated Elite Combat Armor-Piercing Rifle). Or Decapre, to those who know her .

The Sniper Rifle was originally designed and modeled by Matt Pugnetti , who also designed and modeled the Sub-machine gun and Machine gun for the mod. He also basically the equivalent of Lead Designer and a good friend of the project lead. He was not entirely happy with his rifle, and I took a crack at it so he could move on to designing other elements. (Incidentally, his design vaguely resembled a RAMO M650)

(Jargon sticklers: yes, it's an anti-material rifle, not exactly a sniper rifle, but I will refer to it as such out of convenience)

One thing that was required by the project lead was that the scope would some how connect to a socket on the player's helmet/face. Originally, there was going to be a cable/wire and the player would simply pick it up and manually attach it to his/her face. Since there were problems with importing animations (which in fact, were never resolved), I came up with a more jointed/mechanical solution.

The only thing I kept from Matt's model was the bullet round, which I think was supposed to be a .50 cal round, but never specified.

The Barret line of rifles are a definite inspiration. I can't remember where the triangle cross-section idea came from,although I think it was actually more of an X, before it was simplified down. The part I like was that the bipod and the ammo would be between this upside-down "Y" and rather convenient. Accuracy Internationals AS50 provided a source for those kind of "prongs" that extend out from the frame. Those long grooves on the side of the receiver/frame were more for just visual appeal, but I wrote it off as a kind of reverse picatinny rail if necessary.

The rifle is bolt-action, which I think is more a gameplay decision to limit rate of fire. For a time, though, it was going to be semi-auto with a reciprocating/recoiling barrel.

This does start to mark where my references start to get a little vague since I can't have a physical analog (aka airsoft or even the real steel) -- at least not any within my price range. As such, the bullpup bolt-action configuration is a bit of guess work on my part from looking at pictures of a Barret M95.

Maya (originally in 6.5, has since gone through 7, and now 8). Default Lambert texture. Rendered with Mental Ray and Final Gather.

(notes lack of trigger . . . . I must be getting tired . . .)
