This is something I've been meaning to do for quite a while now.  Anyone who's been around with me for a long time will know that I've been steadily improving my 3D capabilities over the past several years, and am only pushing further with each new model.  Give a warm welcome back to a returning design; the MG-32 Battle Rifle, which was the second original rifle design I came up with.  The only major change I've made is to the action of the rifle; from a roller-delayed blow-back to the more common gas piston and rotating bolt design.

    Not much else has changed except for the poly count and the render engine.  Do look forward to seeing it in a full 360 degree view once I've finished writing and bug-testing the C.H.I.™ Showcase Engine.  I'm on a mission to remodel all of my old fighter aircraft and firearms designs in full detail!  On a side-note, I FINALLY managed to get VRay to pump out renders at a larger resolution than 1920x1080 which I'm very thankful for.

Any and all comments are welcome, feel free to tear this apart down to the finest detail.  I can't get better if I don't know what or where to improve.
