Weapons of the Far Future - Drop Pod Trooper Tactical Compact Battle Rifle

Another weapon from the Far Future!
This one was made from a lot of parts that just fell together while I was looking to make something else and also some parts I'd wanted to use for a while. Making a weapon that's both interesting looking and believable is always the goal, no real reference here though. The "drop pod trooper" theme is also one that I really enjoy in all sci-fi, the concept having so much you can do with it (from Halo to Warhammer 40K and Helldivers). One of the most fun parts of the project is making the skins and camos to jazz up the end product, I end up with a boat load of them but try to narrow it down to around five or so.
Always a blast to make another blaster.
Thanks for taking a look!
