    To me the pistols in the Sci Fi Pistols set looks the same as the ones in the Sci Fi Firearms pack. But it could be that they are simply just similar, or it could be that those that only wants pistols and not the rifles should be able to buy that. No idea to be honest, but it's the only guess I have :)

    No idea why the link to it says rifles, when the product is called fire arms pack though *shrugs*

    It's the same, but with different Readme and Support files.

    Aye, and for me they look the same Cho.. seriously, I can't see a different between the pistols in the fire arms pack, and the ones in the pistol pack :/ Guess this is a freebie I ain't picking up.. as I don't really need two versions of it. It IS a nice product though.. just feels a bit.. strange

    As I said, it's the SAME as the pistols in the Firearms pack with different Readme and Support files.

    Here's a diff of the two content directories:

    A diff with a -s (show if identical) shows that the actual pistols-related files are indeed identical.

    Files Content-SciFiFirearms/Runtime/Geometries/SciFiPistols/valSFPBeamPistol.obj and Content-ScienceFictionPistols/Runtime/Geometries/SciFiPistols/valSFPBeamPistol.obj are identical
    Files Content-SciFiFirearms/Runtime/Geometries/SciFiPistols/valSFPBullpupPist.obj and Content-ScienceFictionPistols/Runtime/Geometries/SciFiPistols/valSFPBullpupPist.obj are identical
    Files Content-SciFiFirearms/Runtime/Geometries/SciFiPistols/valSFPElectrolaser.obj and Content-ScienceFictionPistols/Runtime/Geometries/SciFiPistols/valSFPElectrolaser.obj are identical

    ... and so forth.

    I agree the pistols are the same, but the rifles are different. :roll:

    Don't think there is any rifles in the pistol pack though? or is there also a rifle pack plus the fire arms pack? *confused*

    no the rifles are in the other pack.

    I have confused someone, Oh good. I like confusing people from time to time.

    I have had it proved to me that the pistols are indeed the same, but the other pack is still only similar, not the same, as it has rifles as well.

    Is my story and I am sticking to it.

    If you won't wear that as an excuse, then blame it on a senior moment. :coolsmile:

    Simple and easy answer,
    http://www.daz3d.com/new-releases/science-fiction-pistols is a pack of just the 4 pistols from http://www.daz3d.com/sci-fi-rifles

    Four Smart Propped Pistols for M4 (.PP2 and .OBJ)
    Electrolaser
    Bullpup Pistol
    Beam Pistol
    Machine Pistol

    If you want the 4 bigger rifles, then you'll need http://www.daz3d.com/sci-fi-rifles which has all 8 guns.

    That's apples to oranges. The 2nd to last on the rifle pack, are, well, the rifles, and the last one on the pistol pack are pistols.

    The last promo of each product is what shows the pistols.

    Actually the rifle pack used to be called firearm pack.

    I looked in my runtime. I actually bought the 'rifle pack' when it was called 'scifi firearms' It includes all weapons now being sold in the pistol pack already. The name has been changed to rifles, however in my product view it is still listed as scifi firearms- NOT rifles.
