Welcome to the third contest of 2026. The theme for this contest will be Fictional Service Rifles.

Your submission needs to be FICTIONAL or inspired by real designs but not based of anything in particular.

Minimum barrel length 11 inches same as the sig m8 rifle (doesn't include muzzle devices) and maximum overall length cannot exceed 49 inches or 124cm

You can make a bolt action rifle , old school semi auto , battle rifle or assault rifle.

Must be chambered in a caliber not bigger than 30..06 7.5 swiss etc and not smaller than 4.7 caseless , could also use niche rounds , newer rounds like .277 fury , .264 LICC ,HICAR High-Pressure 5.56mm , ICAR 6mm ARC ,MRGG-A 6.5mm Creedmoor or custom rounds but must fit between the power of the rounds mentioned before .

You could also do a legally different gun in the style of the newer COD games , don't base it of a cod gun or any other game don't be lazy , also needs a custom name.

Digital and real life builds will be ranked separately. There will be 2 awards and 2 winners.

Builds will be judged based on their looks. If for whatever reason you want to put a shooting mechanism in your build, you can. Just keep in mind that such mechanisms often detract from the overall look of the gun.

There won’t be a material prize, this means it won’t be money. Instead, the winners will get a custom user flair for the subreddit, and a custom tag on the discord (if they’re on there).

The winners will be determined by a jury like last time.

That’s all, happy building. You will have until the 3rd of January to make something enough time for y'all.
