H-Tech ARK1 prototype - presentation sheetby *Hyshinara

Designs & Interfaces / Game Development Art / Game Concepts & Illustrations / Weapons and Items

H-Tech Defense proudly presents it's newest creation of military small arms: the ARK1

=========
Type: Close Quarters / Mid-range Assault Rifle

Weigth: 1.8kg
Length: 745mm (extended) / 487.5mm (collapsed) / added lenght of suppressor: 180mm (925mm total, extended)
Barrel length: 228mm / 9in

Cartridge: H-TECH 5.7 x 42mm
Action: gas operated, rotating bolt
Muzzle Velocity: 785 m/s
Effective Range: ±300m

Extra functionality: fully ambidextrous, with the exception of folding buttstock <rumoured to be fixed in production model>
=========

The original concept of this rifle was the merging of the best of both from the AR (M4/M16) and AK families.
It's main inspiration can be found with the KAC PDW, AK-74u and H&K UMP (folding stock).

The chosen caliber (H-TECH 5.7 x 42mm) is an in-house rifle-lenght adaptation of the famous FN 5.7 PDW round.
This round has the same qualities as the original FN 5.7, but with a bigger punch on longer ranges.

The magazine is a rock-in type, however the locking mechanism has been redesigned, thus giving it the ease of reloading of a rock-in, with the sturdiness and reliability of a mag-well type.
(A technical drawing explaining this mechanism will be provided in a future update)

The ARK1 was purposefully designed for shoulder-switching manouvres in Close Quarters environments.
It features a rotating charging-handle, which can be rotated over-top to both sides, providing the user his preferred configuration at all times.
At the moment, the rounds are ejected upwards, an idea borrowed from our good friends in the Czech Republic.
However, the production model will most likely feature a rotating ejector, linked to the rotation of the charging handle.
The result will be that the round is always ejected -away- from the user and his cover wall.

All works regarding the ARK project: (more to be added later)

Critique by ~Baconwaffles Apr 12, 2012, 1:22:44 AM

You can tell appart many details of the gun and that's always very nice, and the fluff is great. It looks sort of like an HK417 with a UMP folding stock and a classic CompM2. So definitely falling on the realistic and modern side I see. It doesn't strike me as very original for the same reasons.

The optic seems to be a bit too far ahead and the round sounds a bit underpowered. AFAIK, the 5.56x45mm used in AR-15 pattern rifles like the M4 and the M16 is already being considered underpowered as a rifle round (That's why the army was looking into 6.5 Grendel and 6.8 Rem. SPC), a 5.7x42 round would have similar issues.

What do you think?

I find it interesting, that you insult Pascal Eggert, who designs weapons for Crytek, and you're mashing pre-existing 2D images together.

*Hyshinara Oct 20, 2012 Student Digital Artist

Please first read the reply I left you over on iPeg's THOR A1 deviation.

After that, I'd like to add:
It doesn't really matter who someone is or where they work: if the design is bad, it's bad and it should be said.
I've seen many of those cases in mainstream games / movies / ...
But like I said in the other reply: this is clearly not the case for Pascal Eggert / iPeg.

PS: the above work is actually all drawn/painted, not a mashup of images.
And it surely isn't perfect, but I'm still a student.

I love the simplicity of these designs. It clearly speak to the reliability and utility of these weapons. Personally, I would petition for a 7.62 variant, but otherwise very well composed and considered.

*Hyshinara Aug 17, 2012 Student Digital Artist

I bet H-Tech would eagerly oblige if you were to place an order of at least 10.000 pieces.

~9MR-SELF-DESTRUCT Aug 28, 2012 Student General Artist

Haha. I do believe the price tag for that venture would be a little steep. Arguably worth it, though.

~96blackarrow Apr 19, 2012 Digital Artist

nice designs , I like

~ranisdeguery Apr 15, 2012 Student Digital Artist

This is some sort of PDW, right?

*Hyshinara Apr 15, 2012 Student Digital Artist

It can be used as a PDW, although it's primary role would be for use by people like SWAT or SAS.
