OK, I don't know if anyone has posted pics of all the Sharks before, but we really should get the Shark looking better. I think very few people like the MK 6 model, and the moniker 'stick' pretty well explains it. Now that they seem to have the mechanics of the weapon down, lets get the looks too. I'm suggesting we vote here and our profs can hunt down FC and get them to change the model to something we actually like and would like to look at for the next year or two.
So, the pics...
(The first two have dark models, it was rather dark in Borealis when I shot the pics, and they don't contrast well with my armor parts, so look close! Or find a better photographer.)

As you can see they did some very excellent work on the models, but its so sad that no one will ever see them! Really those are very excellent models, and the first 4 look like high tech modern weapons. The MK 1 and 2 look like modern high tech assault rifles, and MK 3 and 4 look like high tech bullpup assault rifles. I think those are all well done.
I personally do not like mk 5 or 6 at all, though. They don't look like assault rifles at all--even futuristic ones--more like sniper rifles, but without a stock or scope they just look strange. And I think everyone wonders why that thing is on top of the mk 6 gun. But the detail is excellent in any case.
I personally like the MK 2 model the best. Not only does it look like a shark, but it is the beefiest model there, and definitely something that when you look at it, you think "that is an assault rifle!".
So have a look and hopefully we can get the Shark mk 6 looking good.
