>That said: am I crazy, or does this thing look faintly ridiculous?

I collect 3D models rather than the real thing, and my weapons prop collection includes a few modern/futuristic guns that have every accessory you could think of. That's pretty much what they look like when you try to fit everything onto the basic chassis. Nothing "faintly" about the looking-ridiculous factor here... ;)
