Just a small complaint...something that's been irking me. Is it just me or doesthe T21look like the most top heavy gun in the galaxy. It's not the length so much as the way it is held. Looks to me like my character ifs firing a pistol. I'd like to see a stock put on that sucker. One of my favorite things is watching the kick of the stock in my shoulder as I fire my bowcaster--but we all know the wonderful damage a bowcaster does. Ifa weapon like the flamethrower has a stockon it, I'm pretty sure a rifle--including thebiggest one--should also have one. ITS NOT A PISTOL! I'M A RIFLEMAN DAMMIT!

you do see 21's on walls and in some static dungeons with stocks.. unfortunately when built with stocks and scopes added, the actual weapon model is still being displayed as a standard T21. Only the Laser rifle seems to display stock and scope addons correctly.

Shame as the T21 really does look like crap without the stock.

This is however at the bottom of the current rifleman fix list

i wish the barrle wasnt so fat,i want it to look more like a sniper rifle

Its a T21 Light Repeater. Its supposed to have a fat barrel to help cool the weapon down. Its like a laser machine gun. I like how it has the little monopod, a bi-pod would be cooler. I do agree a stalk would be nice.

Stocks are available but to add them makes the weapon WORSE hence why weaponsmiths don't add in those optionalcomponents except for the occasional muzzle

It's not a monopod, it's a bugged barrel end. It points straight down instead of out - look very closely and you can tell.

Scopes on laser rifles are also bugged, they're half embedded in the gun and point up like some kind of weird handle.

This bug was reported months ago and still hasn't been fixed.

i recently bought 2 new t-21s and the mono-pod/barrel bug thing appears to have been corrected. anybody else notice this?

Yeah, I noticed that the other day; some have them, some don't. I haven't bought a new one in the last month, so maybe the new ones look better now?

I just don't understand why an energy weapon has a kick?

Plasma (which your shooting) still has mass and therfore accelerating it requires a force and that force causes kick back. Now the real question is how much force do you really need to shoot plasma and how come plasma isn't affected by gravity...

"Only the Laser rifle seems to display stock and scope addons correctly. "

is that why the scope on my laser rifle goes right through the body of the gun as opposed to along the top it?

"Its a T21 Light Repeater. Its supposed to have a fat barrel to help cool the weapon down. Its like a laser machine gun."

then why does it take so long to fire a single shot? i want some of the drugs you are on

"Plasma (which your shooting) still has mass and therfore accelerating it requires a force and that force causes kick back. Now the real question is how much force do you really need to shoot plasma and how come plasma isn't affected by gravity..."

are these plasma rifles? or laser rifles? do you know the difference?
