SE: Let's Talk Gun Design

[ThirdChild_ZKI]

First, with the design of the Torrent Musketoon, thank you for starting to create long arm firearms with stocks. I'd love to see scopes integrated into future designs as well (you put a scope on a bow once, why not a gun?)

Now then, it might seem minor, but it needs to be noted that the stock on the Torrent Musketoon and the few other MCH weapons that have them are entirely too low. While these are designed to be fired with one hand, as we do, the stocks are built so low on the handle that they would virtually be useless in mitigating recoil or offering stability. Yes, it's not the biggest issue, but aesthetically, we're using poorly designed firearms, and I wanted to bring it to light, so that it may be considered in future designs.


As seen here in this list of long arm firearms (with #1, 10 and 11 effectively the only carbines on the list; 10 and 11 the closest to MCH weapon design), the stocks of these weapons do not sit so far below the weapon, and are effectively also part of the weapon's handle. This maybe difficult to design (maybe?) but that little touch of realism would go a long way in future weapon aesthetics. MCH is a fun and technical job, that really deserves proper weapon design to further accentuate what's great about it! Thank you!
