M249 | Ammo Box

Initially, I wanted to create a military-themed skin, and I was inspired by the Sawed-Off|Fubar skin. After a while, I got the idea to move the ammunition box to a model weapon.



Going over the weapons, I decided that the MAC-10 and M249 would be the best option. They have large square shapes similar to boxes of cartridges. After some time, I came to the result that I have now. Each detail on the skin has its own meaning, such as the batch number or the type of ammo related to the weapon.

The main idea for the M249 was to paint the magazine in a way that makes it look like an actual ammo box. In the GIF, you can see how during the reload animation, it feels like the box is functioning as both the container and the magazine itself — as if you're not reloading a mag, but simply pulling rounds straight from the box.



I’m happy with how it turned out and also made a version for the MAC-10 in the same style. There, the idea of turning an ammo box into a weapon design is also clearly visible. You can find the MAC-10 here.
