Flashlight might be nice, but too much crap would make the gun uninteresting, IMHO. Nobody in real life uses a "Swiss Army knife" gun.

You're right, but which would you use more openly?
A flashlight? or a Laser pointer?
I honestly think a flashlight would be more practical, but if a laser pointer would suit the Union more, then I guess that'd work too.

Arrite arrite arrite, here are some choices in attachments. The first image is various combinations of attachments with long and short barrels, including High-Visibility Scope, Flashlight, Laser, and Grenade Launcher at the top.

Image One

The second is the basic working design as of now, featuring short barrel, high-visibility scope, and both a laser and flashlight.

I like the current one.

Also, Gobo, a flashlight is worse for stealth, while a laser pointer is a discreet (even if noticeable) way to aim in dark places. It's a covert op kind of gun, which was what I had in mind for this.

Yeah, I'm just talking GP though.
Overall operations, not just stealth, but I see what you mean.
I like the second gun though as something that represents the BDU as a whole.
Great lookin' so far, FZE.
:D

I've gotta agree, stealth missions are the best way for this union, hence my choice of the laser sight.
On a side note: High-Visibility scope + short barrel? lol?
I vote for a slightly longer barrel, somewhere between the short and long. But hey, what would Demonite know about guns.... *shifty eyes*

Well, the high-visibility scope is more along the lines of an ACOG, being more magnified than a red dot or holographic sight, but not as magnified as a long-range scope. To the tune of 1.5-2x magnification, affording targeting at longer ranges than iron sights, but not approaching the ranges of a rifle.

Also, the actual length of the barrel is 80% of that of the rifle, which is the inherent advantage in a bullpup design. Compare this to a traditional format, which only achieves a barrel:rifle length ratio of just over 1/3 in a carbine-length barrel.
