very nice man!

[hummermaniac88]

Im in for sure, how much did this cost you?

[v82slo]

Too cool. Blueprints and details please. I'd love to try to build one or at least know how to.

[Rumpel Felt]

That, along with anything hicap style, ruins Airsoft's realism.

I'd be ashamed to use that.

[the end]

i do agree that it ruins the realism, but you cant ignore the fact thats its just plain cool
good job man

:tup: yeah i really wana see the blueprints it would be very much apreciated, I want to make a machine gun conversion to my g36c but then box mags cost soo much!.. this might be the solution ive been looking for! :mrgreen:

Just whipping together the next little info. jpg.

As a response to Rumpel Felt, you don't have to put in 4000 rounds, if you are going for realism, count out 90-120 rounds and stuff that in. With some lead weights, this will come close to accurately and realistically representing a high capacity box magazine for a real M16 regarding weight and capacity.

I think a realistic weight drum mag (Approx. 3 Ilb?) would fall right outa your aeg, or break some shit inside the mag well when it wobbles around. The G36 has a better clipping mechanism than the armalites, and i find 3 mags MAX is putting enough stress in there.

Also, if its "copyrighted" why are you giving out plans? LOL!

That thing looks sweet though! What electric motor did ya slap in that badboy?

[porry]

im sorry to say, the idea is good. But the mag is just ugly on the outside.. .WAY to freaking huge for an armalite. It just doesnt look like a good combo.

[Daes]

Ha ha ha, good point Dozer_01, the jpg is copyrighted but not the plans. As porry stated, the box is huge, so if you modify my plans, then... :-D

These plans are mearly a stepping stone for people to learn from, I am sure that many people are much better craftpeople than I am.

Come on come back from work, Im so anxious to build this thing, going shopping tommorrow for the materials!

I'm surprised the gun didn't explode when you let 2000 rounds through it in under 5 minutes..

Hmmm, should it? This is a near new stock M16 A2. There is very little spring and piston resistance. The pistol grip, "where the heat sink for the engine is for those who haven't seen the m16 :nod: ", was barely even warm. I would be very disappointed if my TM airsoft gun could not handle this kind of use. Mind you, point taken, doing this every game I play would really strain the mech. box but I was only testing it...

The test was into a target box from ~12 feet, 2500 cheapo .12 gram BB's. Shot through nearly all of them before the carboard box began to fall apart. Kinda neat cutting shapes into the cardboard box. Maybe if this was with .25 gram BB's it would be a different story, but it is a neat idea for someone to test the differences.

For those of you who don't believe that a TM gun can shoot for a sustained time, goto HERE and check out the 1991 promotional video. The gun completely chews apart an apple with a TON of BB's for over 20 seconds straight. I did mine in ~10-15 second burst with a short break between each. It took about 5 minutes to go through the 2000. Quick math, at a slow ROF at 600, I would go through 3000 rounds in 5 minutes, realisiticaly I am firing at, according to HERE, at ~750-850 per minute with a max of 4200+ in 5 minutes. That means I can fire for 15, take 15, and empty 2000 in 5 minutes with less strain to the mech. box. I heard that the V1 mechbox is strong, I am sure that a V2 mechbox can also take it.

Well now, back to work I go... Going to redo the handle tonight to an underside straight one with a trigger type system... going to do some more modular trigger system :-D
