The scourge of Chaos arrived on a new world: Ziongane. This world was very close to the planet Ultramar, home of the great Space Marines chapter, the Ultramarines. The Imperial garrison on Ziongane, the 51st Battalion, were no match for the daemonic forces, and thus evacuated the planet before the Ultramarines arrived. Viewing the situation from their Battle Barge called The Impetus, Admiral Jaenus, along with Inquisitor Vanri, decided that there was only one way to cleanse the world of this taint, and thus the world was decimated in atomic fire. Deep in the Daedalus System, a home for the Zionganeans was found. The planet, Tirea IV. They moved there post-haste, with Admiral Jaenus in lead of the escort. However, this system is far from peaceful, and the new Tirean populus began creating the Emperor's war-machines again. At the same time, Admiral Jaenus received a distress signal from the Imperial Lunar-Class Cruiser, the Argus. It is the 41st Millenium, and there is only WAR.
The Space Marine Bolter, model by Kiory.
The thumb position on the grip seems to be a bit too far in (Though maybe that's just the shadow making it seem that way), maybe move it back a bit and make the grip slightly thicker.
Also, it's mirrored... The ejection port should be on the right side.
Besides that though, it looks awesome.
Actually, boltguns have adjustable ejects for righties and lefties.
Well, truth be told I wanted the ejection port on that side because you get to see it working, not only that, ejection ports in guns generally were put on the right side to stop bullets flying in your face.
If you think about it, space marines wouldn't particularly be bother about that, what with all their power armour.
Plus, all the references I used had the ejection port on the same side as you see now.
1 more thing, I did not mirror this model. There is only 1 ejection port.
I see marines being ambidextrous tbh...so yeah :D
Great work on the bolter guys!
Alright
Standard Bolters have the ejection port on the right hand side, like standard small arms. Thing is they have another ejection port on the left hand side. See the one on the right hand side is so the Space Marine can **** it back and load the next bolt. That is what the large square thing is. The eject on the left is for when a Marine switches his bolter to use in his left hand. The bolter is connected to his mind so can switch which side the casing ejects from. However the cocking know is still on the right.
A few other things I hope you guys are taking into account. A Bolt is a 75 mm (ish) High Explosive Rocket Propelled Grenade. It is rocket powered meaning at very short ranges it is actually less effect since lossing time to increase velocity. The casing holds compressed air that pushes the bolt out of the barrel where the rockets then kick in. The casing is then ejected. A bolter has a single shot, 3 round burst, 4 round burst, and fully auto setting. However a marine using anything other then single shot unless necessary is usually chastised for it.
So its not a machine gun, its an RPG with a life form like computer inside it that can do everything except shoot itself.
This is very informative indeed, we will take this into careful consideration and see what we can do in terms of effects, such as the projectile leaving the casing and such.
Thanks for the information!
uum.. It's .75 cal not 75mm, this vould make it about 19 mm. But some sources say it's 40mm, this because the Imperium have a diffrernt systsem.
sorry for bad english
Yes I would agree, .75 cal would seem more accurate, although, it seems to be quite a bit larger than a .50 cal so I'm not sure. :S
