I havent drawn it but i have the idea..... start w/ a dark blue metallic and fade it into a black w/ metal flake. then "spatter" opposite colors on each side w/ a polished oil cap. possibly polish the bottom lip/edge of the VC to match. sleek and sexy.

i almost said there was no FAMAS in MW2, but then i realized i was an idiot...
I personally like the ACR or the M16 better.

But the artwork is nice regardless.

You know what else would make it look better? Taping off the areas that weren't suppose to be painted.
