These look like the model shots you see for the weapons in computer games!

Great stuff

#3..BAR, air-cooled, gas operated, magazine-fed, shoulder weapon. My shoulder started to ache at the sight of it. Nice photos and a thanks for the memories.

These come up as pretty dark on my monitor.

Of the three images, the BAR is my favorite by far. The entire frame is filled with the weapon, as opposed to the others which end up with unused space that doesn't seem to serve an immediate purpose.

The sling on the second image (M1 Carbine) is something that I would show all of, or none of. The sling on the third image could also be smoothed out to get rid of the twists.

I do a lot of weapon work (both use and photography), and I think a clean image on a white background has a lot of appeal. I like the layout, angle, and lighting that you have used with these.

Very nice! I only wish the wood grain wasn't quite so dark.

Nice. I haven't seen a BAR in that good of a shape in a long time. Was the stock a different color, or did it just look that way.

Nice job, like the lighting.

The stock was a different color. I gives it a little character :)
