This "Sawed-off | normal_gun" is one of the weapons from the normal_gun collection.




The idea behind creating this skin and the collection as a whole is very simple and comical.
As usual, I am working on creating my new skin from the name "Sub-Tick collection" - which you can find on my workshop page.

What was I talking about?! Oh, yes..
When working on a workbench and trying to inspect my finished skin on a weapon in the game, I made a mistake when specifying the path to the final file.
I saw the usual blue-purple skin and, after correcting my own mistake, I continued to work.

On one of my usual days, I enjoyed playing CS2 with my teammates.
Looking at my skins and the skins of my teammates, I remembered my mistake.
And I asked myself the question - why didn't anyone create a "normal gun"?
Literally - a normal gun. The idea is both simple and brilliant.
After that, I started creating a skin, turning the idea into reality.

The first thing I had to do was make a choice about which category of finish style I would use for the skin.
The choice was between: Gunsmith or Custom Paint Job. - What should I choose?
After creating the first skin, I began to test and select the finish style on the workbench.

The decision to choose the finish of the skin came to my mind very quickly.
It was - Gunsmith. Yeah yeah yeah..
The one that glitters and shimmers with all the rays of the sun!
I was happy to see how beautiful the skin looked with blue-purple shades.

After that, I started experimenting and creating my own unique design for weapons in the game.
When designing and publishing the first work of this collection, I realized that I had created a wonderful skin.
When inspecting weapons in the game, it became clear that in different lighting conditions, the skin looked like mother of pearl.
This will be a distinctive feature of this skin and the collection as a whole, I thought.

Voices in my head (matchmaking situation):
The start of the round.. Freeze time.. Voice chat..
Your m8: "Give me a drop"
I: "What do you want?"
Your m8: "Drop me a normal gun."
I: "No problem, bro." (press B; selected: accepted skin | normal_gun; press: G)

Just imagine that this skin will be added to the game?! That's cool!
Ehhh.. dreams.. dreams..

As a result, a couple of days later, I completed the design and work on the first skin and published it in the workshop.
Special thanks for reading my description - sooooo many words;)
See ya!;)
