Hiya.

I'm doing a shootout-ish scene with a cute young Poser woman (modded V4) heavily armed, but still flashy and "too pretty to blame". What I need now is weapons, and lots of them. One little thing though ... they have to be free since I'm not entirely sure about the concept yet. Couldn't find any good ones in this site's Freestuff area, and Google didn't really help me a lot. Gimme anything that fires a bullet, be that auto-rifles, handguns, bolt-action rifles, revolvers, shotguns - yeah, even some grenades would do good.

Thanks in advance :)

Cheers,

Thomas / A-Spot

Porsimo, who posts over in the DAZ General Freepository, makes really nice weapons and there are quite a few scattered about on ShareCG.

Thanks, folks.

I have a little problem though .. can't seem to find Porsimo's stuff. Can anyone link me to it?

Open web browser of choice.

Go to Google search field.

Type "Porsimo"

Left click on the first search result.

Left click "Sci-Fi Props"

Left click "Sci-fi props part 2: Assault rifle M309 + poses for M3"

Left click "download"  -- located below  the item thumbnails

Got it from there right?:tt2:

Your Search Fu has become stronger by 1. Advance to the next level.:lol:

Seriously though that one is a good choice because the poses will take only a little adjusting if used on other DAZ characters, much easier than starting from scratch.

Porsimo also has a WIP thread going in the DAZ General Freepository forum at the moment.

Bob65 from over there has three 19th century firearms, two pistols and a double rifle, posted on Sharecg.

two things to bear in mind. One is if you are planning to make commerical renders a  lot of vendors have a 'not for commercial render" rider in their EULA, or sometimes they merely say you can use it for commercial if you credit them, so if it is a commercial project then free stuff is not your best option. Secondly I once spent literally a couple of weeks (admittedly I was pretty new to poser) trying to make the girl hold the gun in both hands and still look good.

My favourite stuff is by panko here in the MP who has many guns and poses to match.  The guns shoot bullets and discharge the empty shells, you can cock them and put up the sights etc, and one of his machineguns even has a bullet chain as well.  For what you get it is well worth it, and there is even his vietnam set that has some gear/clothing as well.
His stuff is also available at vanishing point and I know they were having a sale recently.

His stuff works like this usually.  you zero the poser person and load the gun and zero it too.  then apply a setup pose to the gun and to the person (all provided with the gun), then you parent the gun to the hand via parent figure menu item, then apply the shooting pose or standing holding the gun pose etc to the poser person, and one perfectly positioned poser person holding the weapon.  Once the gun is parented to the hand, other people's poses applied to the poser person also work quite nicely with it too on the whole. 
Love esther

These are for the Stephanie character, but you may be able to adapt them to V4.

Here are some for Vicky: I'm not sure if it's V1, 2, 3. But I'm sure you can get them right with a little fiddling.
