Cylon question

[gopostal]

Hey guys. I'm working on a Cylon for a private 2K4 server. I have the monster code set up and today I'm working on the sounds (Cylon sounds are kinda hard to find ) I'd like your guys opinion of what weapon to give it. Maybe alter the default gun like skin it black and shiny and make it more of a "blaster" or is there some other direction to go in? It needs something besides a default weapon. This is a screen I took today as I was adjusting the size they are:


This is a somewhat loosely based on a real Cylon from BG, so some poetic license is allowed on weaponry. Thanks for any advice you might have.

Oh and Bio, I see constructor maps are making a comeback

Man that's a BIG weapon compared to who's holding it...it looks bigger then my redeemer.
Anywho...
I know nothing of the game or the weapon but I would streamline the weapon
if at all possible and when fired it would have a high pitched sound.

I've never seen a Cylon before (looks like a cyborg), but I think the gun should be a laser gun:
the primary fire shoots a laser beam, the secondary fire spawns a temporary force-field, and you should be able also to charge the primary fire up to 5 seconds, which generates a more powerful laser beam.

Summarizing, something like the gun of this old videogame you can see at minute 5:37

I'm pretty sure there's a force-field pickup in some Unreal1/MonsterHunt maps.

Ahh...you lost me at old...and that's what it sounded like...old.
I would go with something sharper/faster but deep in sound.
A sound that would scare you to death before it hit you.

I don't know about sounds (could they be Star Wars sounds?), but the primary fire should be the shock rifle beam, the primary fire at full blast should be the Instagib beam (something like the GES BioRifle but applied to a laser gun) and the secondary fire should be the Unreal1 force-field. Yeah I've invented a new weapon.

[Edit]
Here are plenty of laser sounds:
