G36 - las gun how would you do it



Who's the bigger nerd: the nerd, or the nerd who's on the internets reading a nerd thread about how to turn a toy gun into a toy space gun? :P

*Ahem* Death to the False Emperor?


Mostly dying for the Emperor.  As above, I was super paranoid about being accused of hit dodging due to the armour, so I was calling myself out to hits from ricochets, gun hits (to be fair, it's a big target), and even just when people were pointing in my general direction.

Great fun was had though, and it was interesting how many folk sidled up in ones and twos during the day to quotebomb, mention their chum who makes 40K cosplay gear, their own plans for producing bolter conversion kits, or one chap offering to just gift a spare purity seal for the toy space gun. ;)

Because Guard don't live long enough to get corrupted.

Nah, next up is to sort out the soft kit, and glam up the lasgun up a bit.  I might throw some LEDs into the M4 magwell converter and switch to red tracers - the little Lighter-S can only really handle greens.

Then I might laspistol my AEP, I rather missed having a side arm in (very) CQB.

This was only intended to be a one-off, but it's all worked out so well that I might make it a regular bit of dress up.

I can donate some test red tracers if needed. 

You carry the Emperor's will as your torch, with it destroy the shadows.

Neat, thanks.  If I get the magwell LEDs in, it'd be great if I can pew a few reds through it to see if they light up OK before I buy my own.  Hah, I've just bought 5,000 greens as well.

Don't suppose you know the colour temperature of the LEDs in your tracer unit?

Urggh Corpse Worshippers....


The Emperor protects.

I mean, apart from the billions who die in His name.

Yea no worries can understand fully wanting to test before you buy some.

Unfortunately I do not know the colour temperature but if I wanted to use greens I am supposed to change the tracer unit over to green mode instead of red mode so it must do something different with the light to make reds work to a good level.

If your life is given in service to the Emperor, your death shall not be in vain.
