an automatic rifle that fires plasma bolts, supplied by small canisters
it was originally supposed to be a sniper rifle based on a design from Roboquest, but somehow it spiraled into this
I still like how it looks, though
supposed to be an ammo counter of sorts, allowing the user to see how "full" the weapon is based on how much of the bar here is filled
there's a minor bit of texturing on the whole gun, primarily only to give the weapon a sense of dirtiness/heavy-use and to make the gun seem less like it's made of plastic or just came out of a factory
