Proper chortle.  So, after posting my pic (above) to Facebook's Airsoft Heretics group (worth a join), this chap was inspired to make his own Astra Militarum gear in one 40-hour week constructing frenzy.



Have I started something?  After all this blows over, I'm half seriously wondering if it might be possible to put together a squad of the Emperor's faithful at some national event or milsim-lite.

I mean, it is milsim, just from 38,000 years in the future. :D

I'd be well up for something like that, especially running as a heavy bolter team or something

 
that would be very cool... considering getting out my resident evil stuff... coronovirus and such... suppose i could stretch to a guard one at some point

 
MMy brother has a commissar build wip, (I have told him this places exists) here is the beginning of his lasgun or I will load it soon...

 
Wew, after deleting like 100 attachments, I can finally post one again.

Remade my cz grips and base to look more slick:

Nothing has been made yet but I've drawn up my initial sketches of a custom AEG machine pistol. It's going to use my own gearbox design using an ICS upper and a lower made of 3d printed and laser cut parts using standard V2 gears and trigger contacts and a short type motor and motor cage. It's using the same method as @Hangtight with his custom bullpup gearbox but keeping the manual trigger contacts, modified to attach directly to the trigger extension. I want it to use either Glock style AEG mags or Mac 10 AEP mags feeding into a standard M4 hop up and 6" barrel

Currently making an IPSC style target, fortunately our back garden is big enough to shoot pewpew in and not overlooked by neighbours ?

Just got to make legs or a stand for it and will try it out tomorrow 

the aluminium in the top aiming area is angled to reduce ricochet , and deflect down the back of the target

a successful “hit” rings off a nice little ching ?

Two new holsters. Havent bothered making them nice and neat as the only leather I have right now is covered in scars and defects and I cant get more. They do both work perfectly however and are mounted onto plates which allow me to use them with molle. I can also change the angle they sit at quite easily.

Just knocked up a new belt, thicker and stiffer than I’d normally make, used three layers of webbing for the main belt, meant there were five layers to attach the adjuster webbing, that’s a workout for the machine. Also added Velcro which is a new one for me, hoping it helps with the rotational stiffness.

Nice, although you could have gone for a 2 belt system, one inner lined with male velcro and one outer (2 layers) with female.

Just like the FRV one.

This way you can still use the outer belt as a standalone (female velcro is the loop one, so it doesn't shred your clothing) and there will be zero rotation as the whole system grips on your trousers belt loops :)

 
Yeah, I know the type. I prefer single belts, the tendency for single layer inner belts to roll and the finicky lining up of the two layers has always  kept me from making them.
 

Also, although I’d never recommend it (I even actively discourage it), the slim possibility of a belt having to be body weight bearing always makes me use the strongest construction possible. 
 

I learn to live with having to thread/rethread fairly regularly. Makes me much more focussed on what goes where and why. That’s also why I use the 38mm buckle, it’s the same height as the 2” webbing so the whole belt works in the same belt loops.

Finally got around to putting an actual hop unit in the f2000.

Modded an old king arms unit with an stub of inner barrel and it seems to actually work.

Of course it being the f2000 it'll go from firing every shot with a 1fps deviation at home to feeding 1 shot in ten about 100fps under on the field.

 
Cranking handle on my speedloader changed its mind about being a cranking handle for a speedloader.

So I made a new one on the lathe out of some spare brass stock.

Annoyingly I did find some pre-made metric screws, but I couldn't find the metric tap and die set. So I made both a new screw as well as the handle using BA thread. Added some superglue on the thread for good measure.

A friend of mine done a thing, not a bad thing but a good thing. This thing was done for me too so it’s a bloody good thing!!

We both have Scorpion Evos and the carry case and love the bags for their versatility and pouches on the front so I bought one for my TM MP7.

I was talking about how cool it would be to be able to attach them together so he took both my bags and added straps on the side so I can clip them together to make it easier to carry.

he also added a shoulder strap, a stronger carry handle to be able to carry both as once and even a velcro panel over the scorpion branding.

I can’t wait to use them, I have managed to get all of my skirmish gear in both bags to make things so much easier on a game day.

excuse the crappy pics
