Hello! In SimplePlanes, my passion is building firearms, and I’d like to share my experience with my fellow players. In this tutorial, I’ll provide all of the necessary tools needed to model a modern pistol-caliber carbine (PCC). Everything here is completely free for you to use; There’s no need to credit me, either! Have fun!


Components have been color-coded for your convenience:
1. Dark blue: Upper receiver
2. Blue: Lower receiver
3. Light blue: Magazine
4. Pink: Stock
5. Purple: Handguard
6. Red: Barrel
7. Yellow: Accessories


The receiver (Dark blue, blue) is the most complicated part of any gun. Coincidentally, it’s also the section with the most detail. I’ve already added two important moving parts, the trigger and the magazine release... Don’t forget about the charging handle, ejection port, and the fire selector. If you don’t know what any of these parts are, a quick Google Image search should do the trick.

The magazine (Light blue) feeds bullets into the receiver. The most common capacity is thirty. Depending on what type of look you’re going for, you can use a curved magazine, or a straight magazine.

The stock (Pink) attaches to the back of the receiver. I’ve included two, a fixed stock (The top stock), and a telescoping stock (The stock on the bottom).

The handguard (Purple) attaches to the front of the receiver. Again, I’ve included two, a compact handguard with removable Picatinny rail segments (The top handguard), and a longer handguard with M-Lok sections (The handguard on the bottom). Each handguard is hollow, and the barrel (Red) is located inside.
