I'm going to use this thread as a place to show works in progress for weapons made specifically for server use. I probably won't update this often, but I'll be happy to take feedback.
First thing I feel like showing is a new model for the ballistic shield.
The stun hammer is pretty crappy looking but I don't feel like making it any better. Azarael can spiffy it up all he wants after I am done getting this thing animated.
Current colors in no way represent the final appearance.

Looks good so far. I worry about the lack of visibility however!

I think due to the very nature of it being a shield, visibility is sure to get obstructed, but I believe azarael can tweak the view offset to get the best visibility, and I expanded the window a bit more just to be sure.

Also I'm concerned about the hand. I play with a robot skin which has three metal fingers, therefore to see a human hand when I play is very immersion breaking.

Well when its centered on screen it probably won't show much of the left arm at all, but, um, don't most weapons show the hand anyways?
An example of how it will roughly be positioned in game:

Looks cool, I suppose the shield coverage will be sidewise (diagonal to the shield) and not frontal.

Likely that this new shield will use Block in a similar fashion to JW shields and melee weapons. When not blocking, it will cover the player at an off-angle.
The blue part is translucent, btw.

Any block would be on Weapon Special.
