DIY railgun "Rita" assembled by engineer Kulibin on the basis of the old MTs-255 hunting rifle owned by his father. In the standard railgun design, the booster rails run continuously along the entire length of the gun barrel, but in this design (due to technical limitations) the rails are segmented into individual blocks. There is a small charge of gunpowder in the cartridge cartridge to give it an initial impulse, then it is accelerated by the discharge of high-voltage capacitors that feed the rail blocks. The dart penetrator is accelerated by a series of successive pulses. At a range of 800 meters, the dart will penetrate 70mm of Rolled Homogeneous Armour (RHA), with considerable secondary fragmentation behind the plate. The high velocity produces an exceptionally flat trajectory. The vertex at the 2000 meters range is only 800mm above the line of sight.

Hi! At first I conceived this rifle as one object, but then I thought that since it is homemade, it would be nice to add tools to the scene, and so everything else :)
The rifle and assets were modeled in Maya, the butt of the rifle was made in Zbrush, baked in Marmoset Toolbag, textured in Substance Painter (PBR Metal/Roughness), and the render itself in Marmoset Toolbag.
