Valid comments however Army made a nice clone of the recoil M4's (I've got one here that works a treat) and CYMA knocked out a recoil AK which was slightly better than the TM version because it took normal AEG AK mags straight out the box.
I still think TM lead the way as all the other innovations have either been expensive, failed or both. Systema PTW, ICS split gearbox, GBLS, TOP shell ejecting AEG to name a few.
Now it's unlikely TM will be reading this but just in case, hurry up and make a recoil G3 and stick a mosfet in the M4 recoil platform.

No, it's a copy of the original type 3 AK recoil from TM. It's a CM.046 if you want to check it out.

I like my VFC MPX AEG but I've never been a fan of the fat handguard. So off to the secret underground lair and I knocked up a version I prefer.

Looks good! Though I had to do a double take at first. That sling made me briefly think it had a thumbhole stock on it XD
 

thinking about getting a rail extension for my Scar so I printed a 3D version to see if I like the look.

I like it. it's a Striborg SPG9 which is unofficially known as the poor mans ARP9 but seems well liked by the shooting community in the US. I made a 3D printed version a while back.

did a couple of things 3D printer related. First up, as I'm an idiot I managed to break the stock catch on my Well PPK20. Well make the part replaceable but currently there aren't any parts available so I designed one and sent it off to be printed in aluminum. I got a few extras for when I'm an idiot again.
 

Next up I printed some of the impact grenades in a luminescent filament I had floating around.


and lastly I designed a ammo tin styled box for the impacts for no other reason that I wanted to use my laser cutter.

so good news and bad news. I replaced a few more parts and managed to fix the ECU. It ran for about 1 mags worth of BB's and died again once I did a bit of rapid semi auto.
 
*EDIT*
So I stripped it down again and luckily the motor connector had come away from the motor and once reattached the MP5 is now running fine. I'll give it a run out next weekend to see if it holds up.
 
It's looking like I fixed the ECU.

Bought the S&T HK416 PDW with the idea of stealing the front end for my TM 416C recoil but sadly the rail doesn't fit. Since that meant I was keeping the S&T in one piece I binned the terrible PDW stock with a HK marked stock I had floating around and stuck on some HK iron sights as well. turns out it's quite a nice budget AEG.

I just used a bunch of old aeg springs I have floating around. doesn't seem to need a M110.

update on the grenades, I had 3 break, friends steal 5, had one go off in my hand killing 9 of my teammates which was a comedy gold moment and generally they performed as well as I hoped they would. I'm going to knock up another load (and increase the infill on the parts that broke). 
 
they cost about £1 to make and I can't fault them.

Building a load of these impact grenades. It cost's about £1 to make and they work flawlessly. 

big shout out to the original designer (FULCRUMAIRSOFT) and the files can be bought here:

I found that by flipping the spring over (i.e. what was at the top is now at the bottom) fixes that issue.
 
I ended up printing 10 of them and I also found that my Quake impact deadly customs holder is a good fit.
