So yeah, based on the PC gamer shots we got, T-Ray's 1k follower tweet is not the Beamer. This would explain why it looks too big and has what appears to be a forward hand grip (noticeable by the color change). Though looking back, the beamer has this as well....

Too big and I didn't want to scale them down, so you'll have to open two tabs. Deal with it.
Unless they changed the way they wanted the beamer to look drastically, it would seem we have a possible machine-pistol/sub-machine gun pic.
This issue is that they look very similar, but the T-Ray pic one is considerably larger is scale. Especially if you look at the spacing for the trigger finger.
