DESCRIPTION: This is a small replacement skin for the first-level RED Team sentry built by the Engineer class. It adds a sharkmouth to the barrel of the gun, making it more menacing, and it is slightly easier to see which direction it is pointing.
***This part contains Half Life 2 spoilers!***
My inspiration came from the part in Episode 2 where you meet up with the rebels and defend Alyx from the hordes of antlions. One of the rebel sentries has a shark mouth painted on it. This was inspired by American P40 pilots in the Pacific Theater of World War II, who painted the design on the fronts of their planes.

COMMENTS: Thanks for checking out my skin! If you have any suggestions for the BLU Team sentry, shoot me an email as I don't have any real ideas for how to give it the awesomeness the RED one now has.
I'm not sure what claims of copyright I hold to it, if any, but consider this to be a formal request to not share or upload this skin to any website for distribution. I encourage spreading it amongst your friends, but I request no other form of wide distribution other than linking to it's page on Halflife2.filefront.com . Thanks.
