So, I downloaded a few vids yesterday, namely the live-action vids for "Landfall" and "We Are ODST". Can't get enough of those live-action sequences lol



Anyway, while I was watching the "Landfall" vid, I took notice of the targeting laser the wounded ODST used to "paint" and track Sierra-117's incoming trajectory/LZ near the end of the vid.



I found it pretty kewl to see that the targeting laser was largely based on the HALO 3 SR, albeit with a few obvious design changes. Would make for an easy alteration to an existing SR, I think.



Since I'm still in the process of obtaining enough reference material to draft the HALO 2 SR, and am still working on Psycurve's HAZE weapons, I decided this would be a fairly simple and quick personal project to do on the side.



I've already copied the bottom/rear portion of my HALO 3 SR schematic, and have started figuring out the size, proportions and details of the laser assembly in place of the forward receiver and bolt. I have the side profile view mostly done, along with the details for the front of the laser.



Oh, and I even managed to find a hard plastic rifle case on eBay that looks similar to the one used, so that would nicely complete it. Just slap on the UNSC lettering on the side, and I'd have all that's shown in the vid.



Don't have any pics to post yet, but it would make for a rather unique build, imho
