Since new weapons tend to be more OP than all weapons before we are only 2 ore 3 DLCs away from autoaiming-instakill-through-walls-weapons.
Gotta be fun :3

@Soja57 - That is indeed quite the slick looking design. Kudos. Now I need to do a bit of spot research on the XM8, and figure out what they'd call it the Venom (other than looking deadly). (Very) Minor note of criticism would be to add a touch more to the lower rail to draw a little more attention to it

@Soja57 - Well, if the name is up for debate, I'm sure I could come up with a better one (for the purposes of a ME weapon we could use in MP), I'd already been typing up a post to detail it. Worked in the name, of course, but that can change.
As for the lower rail, it was only because of how every weapon in the Mass Effect universe has the dual rail system, and those rails are almost always noticeable, I thought I'd mention it. Really though, as I said, its a very minor thing. Its a very well made design.

M-47 Venom Assault Rifle
Just wanted to share my design.
Key features of this would be that its probably fairly light weight (perhaps Phaeston or Mattock level) and a decent balance between rate of fire and damage. Perhaps a slower rate of fire than the Avenger, but stronger damage per shot, and maybe some inbuilt armor penetration (because we're all looking for that). A little less recoil than the Revenant, but smaller clip (maybe 30 or 35). Obviously Gold or Black rarity since it'd be, at this point, a meatier Avenger with armor piercing by default. Not sure (since I haven't had a chance to muck about with it) if that would make it very close to the Harrier, but ideally it'd be suitable for Gold difficulty when at X level.
Who/What class would want to use this weapon? As (and I'm not sure I like this idea fully) its more or less a direct upgrade from the Avenger, it'd be suitable as an alternative in Gold to the Cerberus Harrier, capable of dealing more effectively with targets in cover and armored targets while sacrificing burst against targets in the open. Soldiers and some Tech/Biotic classes who specialize in weapon damage would find its middle weight and Avenger-like accuracy a boon. Trading up raw killing speed for a more generous clip capacity and better impact against armor. Extended Clips plus Damage/Armor Piercing mod would make it a fine weapon for Turian Soldiers to use Marksmanship in order to chew thru the clip faster, and Soldiers could use Adrenaline Rush to push its damage higher when tearing into armored targets at mid-range.
Who/What classes wouldn't want to use this weapon? Infiltrators wouldn't find much use for it beyond a standard back up weapon, and Biotic/Tech classes focusing exclusively on powers would benefit more from a weapon design to strip layers of protection or force stumbles/stuns/dodge animations to allow for successful contact of powers. Vanguards, with cooldown concerns and very short duration weapon damage bonuses, would not benefit greatly using this. Without the full on weapon damage bonus provided by investing in powers which provide it, it would feel more or less like a slightly stronger and heavier Avenger or Vindicator, since the % increase adds damage to each already powerful shot, making a more tangible damage increase for those classes.
Tidbits about the name would probably reference that a common counter to armored combatants is envenomed weapons, as armor wouldn't save them from its effects once struck.
Alternative name could be something like the Pilum (since Javelin is in use) or the Gladius (a reference to the Roman Legions and their tendancy to use stabbing and piercing attacks over slashing in order to maximize killing power over speed, and also because the weapon looks like it'd be almost like a carbine). Recoil would be an issue, as well as accuracy on the move, making it a mid to close range weapon, with mods or disciplined burst fire to allow for longer ranged engagement (much like an Avenger).
I'll work on typing up something more formal looking after a bit of feedback.

If anything, the Turians would use a high-power Heavy Pistol; if you have to resort to your sidearm, that means you're about to be screwed and need to kill something right now. But what do I know, I've seen turians with SMGs and Shotguns.Soja57 wrote...
I've got a Turian-esque weapon in the works of concept design, using the same program as the M-47 Venom shown above. The design is similar to the Phaeston and the Krysae, but I'm undecided as to whether to convert it into a heavy pistol, submachine gun, or a shotgun. Or perhaps all three?
It also kinda' looks like the Halo Assault Rifle. Nice job, it looks great. Especially when you put it next to mine.Soja57 wrote...

That sounds awesome! Sounds like a rifle I would really enjoy using. M-47 Gladius. Great name and good description!
Freaking awesome, Bro. I love Gears of War.Soja57 wrote...
Turian Shotgun finished.
Shotgun that has an extremely wide pellet spread (wider than any current shotgun), but can charge up to tighten the spread of pellets for longer range engagements (minimum spread at max charge should = Eviscerator accuracy). Charging up does not equal more damage, but it increases the chance of each individual pellet to hit targets, therefore potential damage at range increases. Firing in default firemode decimates any enemy up close, but if you miss (though near impossible too) or use it for beyond close range, it should feel punishing. Undecided as to give it only one shot per mag or more.
For anyone who has played Gears of War 3, think of the Sawed-off Shotgun, except that it can charge up to equal the range of the Gnasher or even Retro Lancer. This is perhaps the easiest way to explain how this weapon works.
