Welcome aboard mate

That post simultaneously gave me the Benjamin Button disease and turned me to Alcoholism. I'm now a 70 year old toddler who goes through more boxes of whiskey than nappies.

Looks good Capt. Really like the mixing of DPM and MTP, looks bad ass!

Have you never seen Pulp Fiction? I agree it would be cool but unless you were Travolta or Jackson you'd look like a twat in a suit trying to do an American accent...

You win this thread,Russel.

Theres a good few of them for sale on Zeroin secondhand, sure I've seen TM versions too

Visited the M72 today, did a bit of hacksawing albeit crooked due to the shitey poundshop hacksaw holding the blade askew. Going to crack out the jigsaw tomorow and the dremel, Then pop up to wickes for some conduit. Should have something remotely resemembling a LAW by the weekend!

I dont think that last bit is correct. Its the purchasing that is the offence, ownership is perfectly legal and requires no defense. Regardless, many law officials have announced the VCRA un-enforcable and most officers won't have the first clue what airsoft is let alone the laws regarding it. As long as he's using the RIF for airsoft and airsoft only I dont see why any police would get involved or know he even owns it lol.

UTJ, what about mocking it up in MDF, making a mould from that and then having a company cast it in ABS?

Could you not buy a cheapy pair of hinges out the poundshop, some fibreglass filler out of halfords, apply it and then shape it to look correct mate? I aint got a clue what the hinges look like but if they're particular ones that might be of some help! Ian mate, I'm not familiar with the mortar shells but im assuming they're eletrically set off? If so, I think I remember reading about someone using a 9v battery, so I've come up with this (sorry if it comes across as patronising, you've probably already come up with it yourself but you never know!) The green bits are contacts to complete the circuit upon depressing the original firing button. I reckon with a bit of fibre glass and a dremel it might take you an afternoon or two at the very best? I'm aiming to fire nerfs and such via m203's so it's a bit hard to get it right without the fugly rod thing sticking about the back that everyone is happy with. I'm thinking of cutting a trap door in the top to breach load it, then have a spring loaded firing pin behind the shell which is connected to the firing button. Its a simple enough theory but I just need to think of and make A) A spring loaded firing pin, don't fancy adding that to my search history a way of recocking without having to add the ability to open up the whole damn thing. Probably deceptively simple but I can't really get to the bottom of it. I've also toyed with the idea of using a 9v to power a small hobby actuator but I think the time between firing button pressed and that fully extending to press the back of the '203 could be between 3-5 seconds which well its a bit useless really.

Yeah I was thinking have you had the GB apart? Might be a little bit of foreign matter in their or something getting knocked loose so that when it rattles about during the day, it'll occasionally obstruct your piston making full contact, so that shot will have less power and dribble out? Then once the FM is hit with your piston head, it flys out the way and your next few shots are fine until it repeats?

Alright Lads, we've all done it, ideas of grandeur abound we've decided we're gonna make a tank/rocket launcher/custom gun etc. so ran down to the nearest DIY store bought a metric f*ck tonne of PVC,Plywoods or Aluminium (choose your vice see what I did there...) started for a day, then never had the time/skill/money or motivation to return to it or even start it in some cases! What are you guilty of? I myself am "in the process" of making an M72A7 LAW (I've sawn a 2m drain pipe in half and haven't been near it for the best part of 2 months). I honestly do have the intentions to finish it, I'm just biding my time till I a) have enough surplus cash to do the thing justice B ) work out a perfect locking and firing mechanism as I'm a bit of a realism junkie and want it to look perfect, and function perfect. Both of which have pushed me towards looking for a real one for sale (fat chance!) so I can just stick a mechanism inside it and be done with it, but I can live in hope! I'm also pondering building an AR-18 and .30 cal MG (then its .50 bigger brother) but again money is restricting my ingenuity. Post up your projects that you're stuck on, we can all have a good laugh and maybe even help each other! Cheers lads Teddy

If you're suspecting beebs giving you a dirty hop you can wash your bb's the night before in diet cola but be sure to use diet to prevent adding sugar to them, and give them a rinse with dish soap to get it all off. Leave them in an old sock on the radiator to dry I've read of snipers doing it and apparently the increase in accuracy also is good. Have you got a good air seal in the gearbox?

UTJ You make me proud be Irish, top f*cking man.

Could you not just wrap the opening bit of velcro'y stuff round your pistol grip and then the clip onto your belt? thats what I assumed was the intended use of it anyway

I've reloaded my TM with a speed loader whilst being shot at, you just need steady hands. Keep it lined up with the shell hole and keep slamming the reloading road till they stop going in then move on to the next one lol.

I just love how you make it look so easily wiedable! Aside from the muzzle break, which in all fairness suits it, I love it! Thats what she said?

Ian, must you make it so easy? I was well behaved this time and stayed away from the war crime pictures, as hard as it was to do...

Go all Green Mountain Rangers and rappel down an elevator shaft at your local. Or, use them to fix trip wires to thicker trees maybe for pyro or thunder B trip wire mines.

Is your picture from a recruiting advert Will? I'd be interested in seeing the kit those guys are wearing, looks my cup of tea!

That's a real gun lol, Burmese EMERK based on the L85. Ed... You can't even get mad... You have to accept that one in all its magnificent beauty (or lack thereof).
