OOC: my first try at weapon designing, Please give me some critics on it, I sometimes think that no-one is interested in me (e.g. because of no replies)
thanks already.

VDZ&VL JK-1a
http://tinypic.com/ac90tc.jpg
When the Grand Duke of van Luxemburg asked if he could see a weapon designed by the famous Van Luxemburgian weapon designers VDZ&VL. he thought: if Van Luxemburg could build Ships, they also had the power for their own rifle. a few years ago, research was started on a new weapon, which had to be High-Tech, had to be able for Firing underwater, Durable, low maintenance and that could be merged with the FELIN system. the outcome was the JK-1a. The JK-1a combines the best of several weapons by incorporating several barrels. this way, it's possible to fire normal rounds, .50 Sniper rounds (1 per load), Shotgun rounds, Needle-like projectiles for underwater firing and Balls filled with Gel Batteries (240 Volts and 260 Ampere ) which fit in 5.56mm weapons. the weapons can be activated by switches on the side of the weapon. it is not possible to fire two or more barrels at the same time. The JK-1a is standardly equipped with Infrared and Nightvision scope, it is waterproof ( Watertight chambers, cover for the barrels and scope) and is very Robust and light because of it's Titanium hull.

The Battery-Balls

An Innovation of size are the Battery-Balls, which carry an Electrical load of 230V (Adjustable). this is carried by Elektrolyt Gel, which is charged within the weapon. the soldier carries a small accu on his back, optionally connected to a Solar cell, which Charges the BB. after firing, the BB will go to active, glue to it's target and give off their deadly 240V (or higher, or lower)to whatever is hit, after 0.1 seconds, the BB will stick into the flesh. the BB cannot be used again because of safety Measures.

The LCD screen on the right side can be used for secundary communication ,
as second scope and to show vital weapon information.

(OOC: I thought of this actively, and this was surely the best option to combine the weapons I needed. my theory about the Battery Balls is possible (I hope) but it could be impossible. I'm not a great person with paint, so you'll have to do it with this picture, unless anyone else offers to redo the weapon.

It indeed looks like one, I modeled this one with the FN F2000 in mind, which also looks like one. Thanks anyway!
