For my final year project I wanted to do weapons but I wanted to have a context towards a already existing game world at first I wanted to do Fallout based weapons as I felt you can be very creative with it, but it's very common so then I thought about sort of semi futuristic style which led me to Crysis, guns which are based upon real hardware.
So I had the decision to choose real life guns to base mine on and although I do have a favourite gun when playing first person shooters I decided on 2 based off one of my favourite games of all time Metal Gear Solid, in which you are given a standard arsenal of weapons, but importantly the SOCOM Mk23 Handgun (pictured above) and the Famas assault rifle.
My third would be an emplaced weapon as experience with Crysis 2, I hjave knowledge of these which can also be portable. so I had to decide on a type which was also influenced by a game and is one of my favourite sci-fi weapons, A railgun which I have loved since I played the Command & Conquer series.
