SMG is a tough one to replace really. It's firing mechanism is so specialized there is not much room for new ideas. Just new designs.

I've already decided I'm not going to go invent a new kind of weapon. Passive weapons such as the razorback are boring, and jarate is a one of a kind.

Which leaves me with SMG replacement design, which also what I have planned. Same gun, new looks.

I dunno, a bear trap could be cool ^ ^

Throw it down once only, requires resupply and when thrown down again, the other is destroyed. Could be used in much the same way as a claymore in more modern-themed sniping games, to get people that might be approaching your position. Maybe a loud clang, some damage and a slowdown? I dunno :3

You can't do that for this contest. It has to be something that replaces the current weapons and their functions

I like 1 the best, I don't like the really pale colours very much, though I agree that the colours should be distinct from the original rifle.

And so far I have a hat done!
-GLORIOUS PICTURE OF A STOLEN SCOUT'S HAT-

Anyway. I need names for these! I suck at naming, and also coming up with stats.. I just don't have that kind of imagination :)
Luckily that isn't a requirement in the actual contest.

I might have a few suggestions for naming the hat:

-The Lucksman's Listeners
-The Hunter's Headset
-The Huntsman's Headphones
-The Dispatcher's Drowners

Those are probably some of the best names I can think of for your hat.

As for your double-barrel sniper rifle, I would suggest:

-The Brain Cleaner
-The bolt-action brain cleaner (if you decide to make the weapon fire one bullet per click much like the Force-a-Nature)
-The Corker

Hope this helps. Great models by the way!

Not everything has to be team coloured...

Loving rifle texture 3, really helps set it apart from the current sniper rifle.

Texture 2 for sure. Btw, i am stunned about how amazing your model is, especially since this is your first ever modeling thingie.
But then I remembered your name is Ravidge.

Make a Jarate Replacement, COFFEE! When thrown the Enemy goes 20% Faster But Gets Burnt!

1) Gameplay is not part of the contest. All items should be skins of an existing weapon.
2) Pyro's job.

The Sniper needs skis in my opinion. For skiing. It makes him move 80% faster in Viaduct.

Brilliant. I can see it in my mind and it's just flawless.
