Number of Polys for Weapons

Just wondering what would be a good number of polys for weapons, both H2H and Projectile weapons.

Most people recommend about 400 as the rough average for weapons. Though as always you should try to simplify your shapes and their polygons so that they are as optimal as you can make them.

You could probably make a very nice LOD for very close up...

I make 2 versions of mine. Usually I have the "PICK-UPs" which are as low as they can go and still look descent. They just sit an spin anyway. Then I have the second one that gets picked up. I usually make it look real nice and then have several LOD levels down on it. I have ahd them up to 800 polies in full detail and it really doen't make much of a hit. I guess it depends on what other things your going to have in the game also.
