Harrison Krix, aka Volpin, is a master craftsman. We've featured his work here on Kotaku before, whether it be related to Portal or Fallout 3. But this Mass Effect 3 gun is on another level.
At first glance, it's no more impressive than his other guns. It doesn't blink, for example. But a look at what went into the thing, and then at the detail on it, and it'll take you (and/or Commander Shepard's) breath away.
These pics are just a sample; to see the entire gallery, from designs to moulds to completed rifle, check out his site below.
