A young Mechanical engineer from Africa emailed me these CAD renderings of a rifle he designed while he was at college. He decided to become a firearm designer at a young age and studied mechanical engineering to achieve this goal but unfortunately was unable to find work in this field.

I really like the futuristic style. Personally I would lose the barrel shroud and increase the rail length.

The designer can be contacted at exoskeleton.a1@gmail.com
