Awesome!! impressive ... very impressive, apparently between you and Inyri Forge we're gonna replace every godda... weapon in the game ... NOW I'm beginning to realise which sonic pistol I DO have in my hands ...

I'm liking specially the 1º, 3º and 5º models here. Thanks for the hard work!

PD: oh and I'm waiting for a reduced vibrocutter, if possible ...

[Dark_lord_Cheez]

Personally, I don't think the "heavy sonic pistol" looks quite 'heavy' enough. But fantastic job, nonetheless. I agree with GeorgNihilus, I can't wait until every weapon in the game can be replaced with individual models. ^_^

[e-varmint]

I may revisit the Heavy model if/when FileFront ever comes back online. The existing model may make a good specialty (ie NPC-specific) pistol.

The vibrocutter is in the works. I have kinks in the new double-blade version to work out.

***Replaced w/V1.1 to correct an invisible texture issue***
The Dashade Sonic models were partially transparent. See the OP for the replacement download.

well done, nicely executed, & finely crafted . They are all certainly more inventive and interesting than the original sonic pistols.

The only thing bugging me is how my brain wants to make some of them look like a mundane kitchen appliance or hair dryer (stop it Brain!)

Back during the Mandalorian "unpleasantness", most of the Republic's senior weapons designers were at a convention on one of the rim planets when several nukes were....accidentally......deployed by a clumsy maintenance worker. The resulting series of flawlessly timed blasts left the Republic in a dire situation. Fortunately, there had been a recent glut of home appliance engineers, and these individuals were conscripted to aid the major manufacturers in their quest to crank out hand-weaponry.

So dude, by all this you mean all these designs are Republic's?

As part of the Master Services Agreement between the Republic and the major weapons manufacturers, certain key design positions were occupied by military personnel to ensure that the products included in in the Critical Munitions and Ordnance Procurement Act met certain minimum standards.

Thanks!!! Sorry that I've been absent lately, I got sucked into the DAO vortex. I have a couple of improvement ideas for these that I'll try to work on later this year.
