VA G6A2 Tibre

This is an image of a weapon that I have conceptualized in Blender 3D (v 2.59). I entered this into the contest going on over at Fictional-Firearms. This is one of the most beautiful guns I have ever created. Not to be boastful, It just looks awesome!

The VA G6A2 Tibre assault rifle is based off of such firearms as the Scar-H. It features:

-An ambidextrous charging handle at the top of the weapon. The charging handle will not prevent accessories on the top picatinny rail from sliding across the section above it.

-An ambidextrous fire rate selector. The fire selector can switch between safe, semi-auto, and automatic.

-Interchangeable barrel system. The barrel can be swapped out for a longer barrel, or a shorter one. In the original Beta testing, the gas block would be removed along with the barrel. Now just the barrel is removable.

-Flip-down iron sights. No tools required to flip the sights up or down.

-The 5 holes on the sides of the weapon are designed to minimize the total amount of muzzle flash.

-The top picatinny rail system can support any optic compatible with such a system.

-Flashlight and laser pointer included. Especially useful in conjunction with the black model for spec ops missions.

-Ambidextrous magazine release. This allows for complete mobility when removing a magazine.

-The weapon itself is made of an aluminum fiber created to be lightweight, waterproof and durable.

-Although the weapon itself requires a few tools to completely disassemble, the barrel is easily removed with just 1 hand.

-The standard bullet type used by the G6A2 is the 5.56, however it is found to be better when using 7.62x39mm rounds. The magazine can support 30 rounds, with extended magazines extruding out to as much as 60.

-Fires at a rate of 700-950 rounds per minute, with a muzzle velocity at an average of 3,000 meters. Carbine version has an effective range up to 800 meters. Sniper version has an effective range up to 1500 meters

-Colors avaliable: Urban (shown), Black (shown), digital (shown), red, desert, woodland.

This concludes the description of the VA G6A2 Tibre.

There are two images I created to show off certain stages of the weapons progress. Those can be found here: [link] and here [link]
