That looks perfect for the bottom of a longshot! On a side note, would it be possible to use a SM3k and make the attachment semi auto, if you used one of your air tanks?

Oh, almost forgot, amazing job as usual

P.S Any update on the ‘Arr’ (forgot how it was capitalized).

1. If you used one of the semi-auto 3Ks, yes.
2. If there were they would be in that thread. It's not at the top of my to-do list right now.

Slug, do you use a strip heater for curves, or cut from something pre-formed?

(And if you do the forming, I'm asking for a peek at your toolset for it)

I didn't bother thermo-forming anything. I just cut the strip from really thin polycarbonate and strong-armed it into shape. I could have made it out of ABS or PVC and then welded the grip together if I wanted to make it more solid and under less tension.

When Slug mods a gun, he always makes sure to kick its ass first.

It cuts down on unruly weaponry.

I'm even more impressed that you didn't thermoform that grip. Thanks for the template too!

My favorite part is seriously that trigger. Just hawt. What did you use to space the pieces of polycarb?

Small piece of polycarbonate same thickness as the top half of the trigger. Super glue was used to join the halves of the bottom half of the trigger.

FOR THE SWEET LOVE OF GOD!!
If for any reason you are feeling you are going to EXPLODE with boredom...
PLEASE MAKE A FULL TEMPLATE!!!!!!!!!
Or #2 make a simpler gun for the attachment rail.
I really love seeing the +bow become more and more destructive. this pretty much kills usage of my Desemator.

And before anyone asks, no I do not want to make another one of these.

That's really amazing, I was thinking of how it would be possible to do something like this, but I never thought of machining it precisely enough to still use the auto-rotate function. I can't imagine how many measurements you must have taken to get this to work.

Thank you for the turret spacer template too, it's been bothering me how I would add perfectly-spaced couplers at the bottom of my 3k turret so you could swap in 6 barrels at a time for a faster reload.
