My "experimental" weapon (to test some things related to texturing, skeletal meshes and so) is almost done.
Needs to fix some scripts, add some effects and so.
As i said, code will contain some features i want to implement with UTRP, so, probably, playing with it you can note me, which stuff is good to add and wich is better to remove.
When i drop "ready-to-play" file i'l also add list if implementations.
About whole this work..
All models are skeletal. Yup. Even pickup and 3rd person model.
You maybe ask why i didn't used .3d format for pickup and 3rd person mesh? Answer is pretty easy - i wanted to see model as i can see it in 3D editor. Too small model converted to .3d snaps vertices to grid, and make it square and horrible. If it is too large - vertices getting mirrored in UT's bounding box and also makes model horrible (like a cube full of polygonal garbage)
While skeletal meshes doesnt deform in any causes (except you made something wrong when attaching bones)
Models made, rigged and animated in Blender. Converting them to psk and injecting into UT was a real nightmare, which took few sleepless nights and headache. Another nightmare appeared when 3rd person model repeated animation that 1st person model have
Textures - Adobe photoshop and some base for them from internet.
The blue core is an animated Ice texture.
Thanks to method i posted in Development School section, i made it as i wanted - visible if even no lights around affecting whole model.
Unreal. Alter your reality..forever...
Anyway there is already a RailGun from Q3. 
Keep working, you are good at it.
