..and this from Mark
"Why no scope or sights? The armor will not allow you to get a cheek weld. so sights and scopes would be useless. When I designed these I thought about that and decided they would need to use a retinal projection in the helmets or on from the rifle. The helmet with the flip down display was meant to be used on the fireteam leaders and is a digital map projector with the location of all the troops under their command."

Ahhh that would explain a lot. Nice idea to skip around it, I quite like that, imaginative!

I didn't say that.... ;) like the optics option.  I do think it needs a bipod.  That sculpt though,  not great and no real weight of the weapon translated in the sculpt. lovely pj though as ever.

Maybe its a really lightweight weapon?? Being futuristic and all. Still could use a bipod anyway due to the length mind you.

Equally we could assume that the powered armour is taking all the weight mitigating the need for a bipod

Zizi666, where did the picture come from that you used in "I don't think cammo would do it. maybe some material wrapped around the barrel to break the form like this : ".

Uh, just googled for images of snipers IIRC, so no idea where I got it.
