Considering the size of the rifles in
terms of how it scales with the characters, the rifles are overly detailed. To
stylize the weapons more various changes have been made that reflect the rifles
characteristics and makes the ergonomics fit the characters better. The
defining characteristics of the SMLE are that it is a compact fire for the time
with a magazine and rugged nature. To bring this out the model has been made
deeper increasing the overall size.

Other details that have been changed include the rifle band
that has been greatly emphasized in terms of how wide it stretches and its overall
band thickness which has been done to both rifles.

Reasons on emphasizing the magazine is that it is a unique feature to the SMLE and was not a common feature for other service rifles of the time.

Above the new model is at the back with the new model in the front. Below the new model is in from with the original behind. It is apparent that specific features have been made more noticeable with shape of the stock being slightly changes to have a flat butt. The bolt handle has also been remodeled to consist of a single piece of geometry rather than two (the bolt handle and bolt) which will make it easier to animate in the future and simplify the pipeline.

The Gewehr has undergone the same process being changed to reflect the characteristics of the weapon. The rifle was renown for being a precision accuracy rifle with great range. Reflecting this is the length of the rifle and its far less chunky and streamlined design with prominent sights. An enlarged bore has been given for intimidation highlighting the deadly nature of the gun.
