I’m thinking about making a gun in blender, semi-realistic. If anyone has any pointers, enlighten me, if you would 
…
What style of gun are you looking to make, will it be somethign from the old west? or something current, or something futuristic?
I recomend pulling some refence images and then working through making the gun component by component
Nice, I’m going to do that sometime too. http://www.modelguns.co.uk/ has nice reference pics of lots of types of guns!
looks like you have two meshes in the exact same spot, try scaling one of them in/out or join then together and move the verts on the interior of one to the outside or merge the verts so you have one contiguious shape. If that dosen’t work post a .blend and I’ll fix it for you.
Ok, could i RemDoubles?
nvm, I’ve got it…I’ll give an update either later tonight or tomorrow…
best and only advice i can give on guns (seeing as i only a few, and only a few of them looked half decent :o ) is to make them in parts, gives it that put together look and shadows are in teh right places and yadda yadda so on. oh and bevel it.
Bevel? Oh, and I really like your siggy…stupid humans…Oh, I have a question on the barrel nub- how cani make a tube thicker, you know? I had 2 tubes, 1 bigger than the other and i tried to make a face, but all that did was make a face inside the tube…
Here’s something of an update…I know it isn’t great, I haven’t worked on it more than half an hour (if that)…I won’t be back for a week unfortunately, I’ll post a .blend file for anyone who wants it, there are many problems to fix…I’m planning to put another barrel below this one and then a blade coming off the bottom, so there it is…I’m not sure how to make the handle, so that’d help a lot…maybe I’ll make someone to hold it (like the futuristic samurai guy’s)…yup yup…

Uhhh…how do you put a .blend in???
Put a link into your post to some website where you can download the .blend file from, like www.savefile.com.
Thanks…
