The VSF VS-26 Sniper by Tensha Heavy Arms. Designated as the Coyote. The Coyote is a high powered anti material rifle built from the ground up to support Kelvian AP rounds. In trials, the Coyote proved to be a superior rifle compared to the current standard issue sniper rifle, however, the design is flawed. About 2 months after standardization into special ops units, some of the soldiers reported feeling ill and after some research, the cause was found to be Kelvian radiation poisoning. The Coyote's flawed design didn't fully contain the Kelvian radiation and as such, the snipers using the rifle became sick and eventually became unable to fight. The Coyote was recalled back by Tensha Heavy Arms and is said to be back in re-production. 84 of these rifles were made, 82 of them made it back to T.H.A., the other two remain unaccounted for and are currently drifting around Vredden somewhere, probably the black market.

4-5 hours of work. 30 minutes of procrastination.

Interesting concept, but one of the things that bothers me when I look at it, is the placement of the magazine well and magazine. Although it is a concept and the internal workings can be far ahead of our time, it just feels weird. There's just no room for the bolt to slide back and load another round into the chamber. Another thing that bothers me are the red and green lights? Those would give away the sniper's position.

the RIS rails dont seem to serve a real purpose being so far forward of the gun.

The stock/body itself needs to be streamlined. For example the space between the trigger and fore grip don't serve a purpose at all as there should be no working parts there.

There's so much more I could give critique on, but that will be up to you if you want to message me.

I agree to some extent with the magazine and bolt, but that's why it's a concept. :D

As for the lights, it's canon. This rifle was in prototype phases and wasn't ready for action yet. The green lights on the handle are for lock confirmation, as the grips can be interchanged to suit the individual user and also contain user information and other mechanics that prevent use from another user. The red lights are from a prototype AI controlled scope and their color status represents a successful AI link and/or problems with the connection.

The front RIS rails are meant for optional equipment which were to be tested on the prototype, positioning of the rails for the prototype did not matter and were only placed on top because of the forward grip.

As for the space between the grip and the trigger, that area houses general electronics and computers meant for weapon security and AI usage.

If you got anything else though, please by all means share. Always room to improve. :D

There are actually several weapons that have magazine that far back [link]

Huh, that's a rare thing for me, a gun I haven't seen before. Nice find and thanks for bringing it up. Funky little thing.

I'm generally more interested in classic sporting weapons (Fox Stirlingworth, Savage 99 etc.), but that site is an excellent resource when I want to look up military arms.
