Nerf Recon M4, Not really functional, but aesthetically pleasing... Options

[goongala]

I haven't seen this anywhere else on NerfHaven, probably because it does nothing to the efficiency of the gun. It does, however, make the gun look a lot cooler in my opinion.



Basically it's the Longshot barrel extension (I did the frontgun integration, and therefore didn't have any use for the extra barrel) put in the Recon's extension shell. As I said it does nothing for efficiency, it actually makes the gun fire shorter than it usually does. But the close-in fighting my friends and I do makes range unecessary. And it sorta looks like an M4; at least I think so. I have made a shorter extension since I took these pictures so I'll be posting more pictures shortly.

Oh , the fore grip is a longshot scope's rail attachment, with a peice of 3/4" PVC pipe epoxied to it.

EDIT: More pictures. The short one is the "commando" variant. Basically just a cut down version.


And the insides (of the smaller one, one of the screws is damaged on the bigger one, so I couldn't get it open).


It seems pretty self-explanatory. I would do a complete write-up, but I don't have anymore extensions.

An M411A1? I have no idea what that is. But yes I do think it looks like a M4A1 SOPMOD, or a G3.

I quite like the grip attachment. Seems like it'll finally give me something useful to do with that POS iron sight.

Sweet.

Gives me an idea... How about making the foregrip linked to the horribly placed cocking mechanism (kinda like how slug's LS shotgunesque foregrip links to the orange cocking bar on the LongShot), so one can cock the gun by pulling the foregrip?

Recons suck anyways, but I think a functional foregrip would be pretty cool.

been there done that, or at least I should say I modded that... Here's a link to something along those lines

Whoops, was thinking of glock .45s at the time.
Yep, I meant to say M4A1.

you could totally make the bad company M416/HK16, just cut down the longshot barrel, add the flip up sight on the fronnt piece, make a curved clip (try legos) and add back sights.
