/3/ - 3DCG

An 18 kg difference in weight isn't semantics, anon. I wasn't hyperbolic when I said it looked like it weighs 30 kg; and that's just the upper frame.

The wear and tear on the metal is consistent with how thick slabs of metal would look, not slim, laser cut gun frame pieces. Compare it to this picture and see the difference.

Even if a large caliber sniper rifle is unavoidably going to be heavy in the end, you still want to keep it as light as possible, and the metal material used makes that thing look several tens of kilos heavier than it should be. It'd look better with a sleeker metal with less edge wear. More consistent with the sci-fi aesthetic as well.
