The 10 best normal mapping skins on the workshop

CS:GO's recent addition of normal mapping is bearing some seriously good-looking fruit.

A shading technology that makes engraving designs deeper and more realistic looking, normal mapping has opened the door for designers to create skins that were impossible to fully realize a couple of months ago, as well as update older ones.

Here are the 10 normal map weapon skins currently on the workshop that we're dying to see make it into the next case.

10. Veteran R8 Revolver

Maker: Hexeth

Admittedly, the Veteran R8 Revolver has a little much going on, but it all happens to be awesome. Roaring flames? Check. Crosshair sigil? Check. Bandanna wrapped around the handle? Check. Skulls galore? You bet your ass.

9. Dragon Coil AWP

Maker: Kitch.sb

It is a truth universally acknowledged that dragons are friggin' bad ass. As such there are few things more satisfying than blowing people away across the map with a gorgeous red and gold AWP bearing a majestic, serpentine wyrm. You may never get your hands on a Dragon Lore, but the Dragon Coil is a worthy option.

8. The Unicorn P90

Maker: katzeimsack

Somewhat in the vein of the previous entry, blowing away the opposition is so much more satisfying with a brightly colored weapon bearing an improbable mythological creature. In this case, a pink P90 decorated with an angry looking Unicorn. The only thing more magical than friendship is a warm gun.

7. Demolition Derby AK-47

Maker: Hexeth

Similar to Hexeth's Veteran R8, the Demolition Derby AK-47 is further proof that less isn't always more. Featuring an intricate design filled with overlapping patterns, symbols and, yes, skulls, this skin has got all excess and dumb fun of a monster truck rally in one machine gun.

6. The Mosquito PP-Bizon

Maker: katzeimsack

Perhaps not as majestic as dragons or unicorns, katzeimsack's Mosquito PP-Bizon absolutely oozes personality. From the smiling shark along the grenade launcher to the kill tally above the trigger, this gun has a cool Vietnam/post-apocalypse vibe, in particular with the battle worn versions.

5. FAMAS Future Police

Maker: G-99Factory

Big Minority Report fan? Nab some pre-criminals with this sleek, futuristic FAMAS skin. Mind you, if you stop to read them their rights, you'll probably get fragged.

4. Prototype P250

Maker: SjiZzZle

Though light on pretty colors, the Prototype P250 sports some excellent, futuristic detailing. You take one look at this astonishingly realized design and you exactly how it would feel in your hand.

3. The Golden Victorian Sawed-Off

Maker: katzeimsack

"Less of a random killing machine, more of a personal statement," as Q would put it, the Golden Victorian is a more civilized weapon for a more civilized age. Utilizing the depth normal mapping offers to its greatest degree, the Golden Victorian's engravings and overall texture make the weapon as elegant as you can expect a shotgun to get.

2. Mac N' Cheese

Maker: your small asian companion

There's nothing better than a well-realized pun and the "Mac N' Cheese" MAC-10 delivers hard. You see, it's a MAC-10 with a thick smothering of cheese. Hence, the Mac N' Cheese MAC-10. Get it?

1. FAMAS Pants

Maker: enzYm

Behold the bearer of 80 percent polyester death. The FAMAS Pants are an amazingly detailed, gorgeously textured skin that combines the Fusil d'Assaut de la Manufacture d'Armes de Saint-Étienne with your favorite pair of pants.
