[BW] SGFE50 Bison - Box

Finding good-looking automatic shotguns for a sci-fi setting is actually pretty hard, with the marketplace mostly featuring pump-actions shotties. Grabbing this was a no brainer.

However, even for RP purposes, it's a little tedious.

Gun works fine. Shoots and all the commands work. I wish it sounded a bit more aggressive, but that's not something that has impacted the rating of the product. What HAS hurt the rating is:

In the manual, it says that if you want to change the skin, you need to enter the 'provided UUID'. I searched everywhere for the UUID and I couldn't find it. I just wanted to change the skin of my weapon to the simple black shine that the advertisement shows, but I couldn't find that. I had to dig through my inventory for a similar color or pattern to make it work, and that extra effort just to get a black weapon was kind of meh.

For what it's worth: it's cool that you can change your weapon's skin to whatever texture you want, but... the lack of a provided UUID and making me have to work for it has hurt the final rating. Not everyone is going to have a texture to get that black shine they want, so the UUID for that appearance should at least be included in the manual for future buyers.

The second issue I have with it is: when you attach the weapon, or you load into SL with it attached, it will always automatically draw itself. I'm sure if you're a dedicated SL combatant, having it automatically drawn is convenient... but even if I detach the weapon itself and only try to use the slung back item, the back item disappears as soon as I put it on. And since it's no mod, I can't remove the script to just keep the weapon in place there.

No modify disallowing removal of scripts, lack of texture UUIDs, the extra effort to get a skin that looks good, forced to rely on a resize script, and having to type sling every time I log in or change avatars... the experience has made this weapon feel pretty tedious overall.

Sadly the bullets are capable of going through every single part of a sim. If you're doing combat, this thing is really bad on it, but is a amazing looking model.
