Space-grade m16 from the "for all mankind" show anyone?
^this is good and fits to "nasapunk" theme that starfield is going for, besides there already guns from earth like VSS, AK, 1911, so i was thinking why not have this barebones m16 with white paint or coating?
however for all realism nerds out there; i see two big issues with this, one is that scope is too tiny, when you have such a big distance between your eyes and that tiny scope you'd barely see anything through it, so maybe this gun but with a bigger scope or just plain iron sights with the iconic carry handle? In addition, since the gloves are big and bulky you'd need a larger charging handle or one of those things thats attachted to the charging handle which makes the charging part of reloading easier, also a magazine pull with large holes in them may come in handy, other than that maybe a simple adjustable stock aswell.
i'm aware that m16 and m4 mods already exists, but they all have picatinny rails on them, which feels out of place for the retrofuturistic style of starfield.
