NEED YOUR OPINIONS

[avalanche]

Hi,

you may have read my other posts about creating a new gun in product design. Ive completed the model and i need your opninions for the evaluation. Dont be afraid to critical as it all helps, any opinions on this model put it in the posts.

Are you planning on actually trying to manufacturer this in to a new marker, or is it just meant to be a wooden model?

 

[avalanche]

just a wooden model, but its suppose to be designed so that it could go on to be manufactured. But i need opinions on the model

 

[Liam92]

well i suppose its the right sort of shape! i can tell its obviously a rough design so can't be too harsh on it, but it looks like its well proportioned. the gripframe looks quite square so i'd maybe round that off to make it nicer to hold. personally for me that trigger doesn't look very easy to shoot. if you want to keep that sling style then i'd bring it a bit more vertical. otherwise go for a flatter trigger if you want the steep angle.
i'm liking the clamping feedneck though!

Thanks!!!! , that was very useful . Just need opinions from a couple more people.

You need to bring the weight down. That will weigh like 30 lbs.

Agree on the trigger. needs to be moved to a more vertical position or the shape changed to make it easier to reach.

Rounding a lot of the square edges would improve the aesthetics and ergonomics as well. Grip frame, ASA, front of main body (where barrel is fitted).

A wrap around grip would also help but is not crucial. It would be more comfortable with a wrap around grip instead of the current ergonomic wooden (will be metal) design.

Hope that helps

yep, thanks matj

Looks good. I think the pistol grip handle should maybe be a bit thinner to reduce weight but the colours are awesome. Nice one

yeah looks awesome but the trigger looks a bit uncomfortable but thats easily fixed
