Alright, no more blabber. After the relative success of my original modular, of which I only ever designed one attachment, I wanted something more effective. About that time, a friend of mine got a recon, and the idea came to me. I bought a recon, some plexiglass, and all the supplies I needed were assembled.
The design begins simply with the LS. Cut off the bipod and everything up to the flat area on the bottom of the LS.
When this is done, pick up your plexiglass. you'll need a far amount of precision for this, so a dremel or plexiglass breaking tool is required. I used the thinnest plexi I got, it fits perfectly. Cut the first piece 5 3/4 inches long, and 2 inches wide. the second piece should be the same size. The third should be 5 3/4 inches by 1/2 inch. If, like me, you're impatient, you'll break the 1/2 inch piece, but that still works. Take one of the larger pieces and the skinny one, and find the long axis of both of them. Essentially, you'll be putting the skinny piece along the center of the wider one. Glue them together, making sure they are as close as possible to centered. Let the glue dry, then repeat the process with the second wide piece. When it gets done, you should have the two wide pieces held parallel to each other, sandwiching the skinny piece.
I used this design of plate to attach the Titan barrel to LS in my Prometheus design, so if you want more reference, go read it.
The two wide plates should sandwich the shell of the LS. Odds are you'll want to cut at least some of the plexiglass out to ensure clean movement of the dart tooth. When it's done, you have a very simple and effective plate to mount anything to a LS. But I designed this to be a modular rail for the LS, so onward we go. Form here on, it's quite simple. Dremel the top and bottom rails off the Recon barrel, cut them to length, and glue to the plexiglass plate. I used two rails side by side because I like mounting the stability of it, but a single row would work. Also this lets me put a larger weapon on the LS.
To finish up, take the clips out of the Recon's tactical attachments, an mount them to your favorite small gun. i was lucky enough to acquire several clips from a few recons, and with them I;'ve got a DTG and LS front gun finished, and an RF 20 almost done.
Anyway, I'll add more pictures to this when I get a camera, but these should do for now.

Yes, this mod is almost completley inversed of TailsChaser's modular, and I do like his. He and I have compared designs, both in IM, and in person comparing systems. We have agreed that his runs for stock guns, and I like it because that is true, while mine is more geared toward the mimimized versions of larger guns.
