| Post subject: | Smartguner Impression help, going to cheap way |
I'd like to ask you guys to tell me what you think of my impression thus far, I've been taking a fairy cheap way into making the rig, and I'm waiting for my mg42 body to come in to start on the gun itself briananim.kicks-ass.net:9...%20Marine/ I'll be building the gun using metal, welding, etc all myself, Nothing here was bought as-is and amost everything except the headset was home-depot stuff. the headset WILL and DOES transmit to a TV with sound/video if I want, and can plug into a phone/radio etc. PS: Please be gentle |

Well....from store bought items I think it looks awesome. Now I'm no expert on the SG rig but it looks great and I think the majority of people will think its great to. You always get the screen accurate police though, no names Jesse   Do you feel the rig can hold the MG42 body and accessories once finished and manuevre efficiently? I'm thoroughly impressed though. The headset looks great and transmitting to a TV? AWESOME!!! [img]http://www.colonialmarines.net/Banner.jpg[/img] |

Yeah, the rig is solid as a rock as ALL the weight is on the metal brackets you dont see behind the scenes. The arm itself is welded/bolted steel and is very sturdy |

Neat! Nice to see someone else planning a hardware SG rig. The arm looks great, can't wait to see the rest.

I think it's cool.. I'm a "I want it EXACTLY like the original" kind of guy but I realize when looking at yours that it's really cool... I mean it's cheap and it gives the same impression as a smart gunner so why not just pretend it's a predecessor to the smart gun and call it something else??? Or another squad using a different weapon with the same features... or whatever... Honestly, good work! Nice to see! |

Well the gun itself will be the same, it is just the chest rig that is different. I'm thnking of dropping a version 2 gearbox (aka m16-m4) inside the mg42 body when I get it with a flashbulb to make a lil muzze flash. |

Nice work! Although I do have to say the chestplate could be made a little more accurate...you should be able to do so using the materials you already used. "How lucky are the few who know where they belong." |

I'm having trouble getting accurate creces with this plastic, it kind of wants to fold how it wants to fold haha. When I get the gun in (and finished), I'll sow everyone the full setup and get final opinions on if I should re-d0 the chest rig (Note: The rig as it stands now is the black one on tho's pictures, I was going for a "RAID" can look, so black works well) After It's all said and done and I apply for the "charter" I want to get a sqad togeather for comic-con 07 to "patrol" around the con in full gear. |
