Alien syringe
Danimal:
yup, didnt refresh, answering:
1- Since i dont have info on it, i took as a base the syringe was to take blood or whathever samples, or inject drugs or nanos..., so making the vials bigger was not neccesary (you are getting a bit not half a litre).
Regarding the handle, i think it is good, just look at the hands of the sectoid/grey alien, it fits there nicely.
A needle really doesnt need any strenght to pierce, and this piece of equipment seems more rigth into the hands of a medic or scientific than an alien soldier.
2- I agree with you, im not really happy with the body either, perhaps making it a bit wider and adding some tubes will both make it more alien-like and interesting.
About poli count, ill try to discover it :-X <---Blender noob
Danimal:
Here goes a revamp-draft for the syringe, please have a look at it Winter.

The syringe isn't there for taking blood, it's there for -depositing- blood, even through armour, by means of a pneumatic ram. It's discussed extensively here: http://ufoai.ninex.info/forum/index.php?topic=2031.0
Telling me that you know better about these things . . . doesn't really work when I'm the one who came up with them in the first place.

That's an idea, worth a try.

That looks much more like what we had in mind. Keep in mind, the vial can have a larger diameter than the body, that would help make it a bit more interesting.
Danimal:
I read your concept post (sorry, didnt notice it, you should put links to their conceps in "To Do" post)
should the vial be double, one with his inner space split in two (one side for each liquid) or just one? and following that, i could do the vial to be actually larger than the gun, thus leaving a hole in its back (gun back) from wich dispose the empty one and reload. I dont see how you can have it be of a bigger diameter than the actual gun.

The concept post is actually not by me, and the actual implementation we want doesn't completely match OrderlyChaos's proposal.
There is only one vial. The vial should be quite large, a little bit larger than it is now. It should also be easy to reload, either from the top or the back.
That is all.

Winter
