I've started designing a machine pistol AEG using a custom gearbox. I'm currently getting accurate drawings of all of the existing parts before I can start drawing up the 3d printed and laser cut parts around them. I got fed up staring at a bunch of parts and mocked up a rough layout of where everything is going and how it should look. I'm really excited to get more done on this.

If youre truly going ground-up, make the cylinder v2 spec. I know several people who would love to HPA one of these, but to do so the cylinder and piston area needs to be v2 spec. Also, though im sure its due to simply being a rough mock-up, but add rails (probably top rail, with optional Mloc or Keymod so people who like attachments can add them) and a threaded barrel. If possible, use existing magazines (Umarex UMP or Echo 1 MP5 straight mags would work well). Stock options would be nice as well - either a MP7-style collapsible stock or a simpler MPX-style that attaches to a rail would be easy to configure, and could easily be run with or without a stock. Im curious to see how youre going to implement the trigger - theres not really any room for a trigger board or contacts with the mag and barrel right there. If you get seriously into the build, make a post about it - Im sure there are plenty of people on here smarter than me who could help you out.

I have a post in the custom guns thread on here but that's a low traffic thread. I also have a Facebook page, Project Peregrine. That's got a post that goes in depth with my design, why I decided to make it and why I came to the design I did.

Short version is I wasn't expecting people to be as into this as they have been so I only ever planned on making one using cheap second hand parts wherever possible. The mags were a cheap bundle and the gearbox someone had laying around for spares. 

The gearbox design uses an ICS split gearbox upper with a custom gearbox lower using standard V2 gears and a short style motor and cage. That's going to be made from laser cut steel side plates and 3d printed infills. This makes it easily converted to HPA as long as you can resolder the trigger to a remote microswitch. The trigger for this uses a BTC Chimera with a remote trigger module and microswitch in the gearbox. 

The body of the gun is going to be largely 3d printed in at least 6 pieces. I will also be using laser cut steel rails down the sides to add some much needed rigidity and a standard 200mm AEG outer barrel.

Mags have been tricky. I got the Uzi ones because they were cheap and available and already had a fitting for an uzi style mag release. Other options I'm looking at for potential future versions are some of the PCC Glock style mags that use the Glock mag catch but I'll consider anything that's reliable, available and not too expensive as long as it has a mag catch design that would work in a pistol grip. That means mp5 and Evo mags are out. 

The plan for rails and stocks is to make a working gun first but leave replaceable parts of the gun like the forend and rear plate to be modular so I can swap them out with new parts as I design them. I am looking at an MP7 style stock and forends with different rail options. 

This is all very early days, we haven't even drawn up all of the off the shelf parts and we still need to get our hands on a classic Army X9 mag and/or an Ares m45 mag to get dimensions to know where to put the motor

 
Its here its here!

Brand new SRS 16" Covert. Installed the fast hop and the 150% SRS spring and is currently at 449 FPS or 292 FPS on .48's. Not sure if thats normal or a little low, but pretty happy with this anyway! Its very solidly built.

My G&G RK74-E painted in Patrizan/SS Leto camo.

My first attempt with rattle/spray cans.

Used the Landscape-camo stencil kit. Unfortunately not an exact colour match to my chest rig.

The tan/sand colour is a little too light  but I'll dull it down and dirty it up to match and the green is slightly darker on the gun. But I'm happy with my first and only attempt at this sort of thing.

That is gorgeous! Very striking. 

 
Heres my PTS Masada DSG with a distressed red cerakote finish.

Has a real EXPS 3 and a dummy peq box for battery. Wires from peq box are routed through the hole where the front sight sits and connected to the BTC Chimera in the handguard.

Barrel is cut down from the standard 11.5" CQB length so as to accommodate an acetech lighter bt while keeping overall barrel length at 10.5". 

Took the better part of 6 months to source all the required parts and the poor internal design of the masada made the process all the more challenging but glad it worked out in the end.
