I made this thing to take to Massacre 2, but the trip got snowed off, and then when I was going to post it, I lost my camera's USB cable. Anyway, I made this in about a week or so, and it isn't totally done, but I figured I'd introduce it with only the plain wood stock and foregrip.




The wood is poplar, and I picked it because the grain is beautiful. It also ended up being very even. I cut the stock out in a way that both sides look very similar, and the top, bottom and back views make both sides look very even. The top has parallel lines, the bottom has lines that angle into each other, and the back has lines that curve together. Maybe I'll take pics of that later.

The biggest GOW inspiration will be in the sights. I love the sights on my lancer, so I am going to do a similar style to those, but I am going to make them lighted like the ones on the lancer in GOW 2. I also have blue stain that I am going to stain the stock and foregrip with. Other than the stock, foregrip, and soon to be sights, it also has an aluminum priming bar to accommodate the foregrip, and I made a barrel spacer/stabilizer to keep my barrels nice and because I like the looks of it. Here's some eye candy, but the blaster isn't screwed together in the pics. It is functional though. I should also note that this stock is about 4" longer than the original one because I have long arms, and the original stock sucked hard. Everything is also very stable, and I don't see it breaking. The stock was routed out (with a dremel), so the gun shell didn't have to be cut at all for it.


NOTE: The front lip hasn't been cleaned up yet, but it will be. I had to steal half of a shell from my extra RFSG.

Would you be selling kits to the stock and priming handle in the future? I really like them...

[canadiannerf]

Nice work. What springs are in it.

[k9turrent]

That's very prettiful

Nice work. What springs are in it.

Dude Its doesn't effect the range, it's only for comfort.

[Coop]

Nice work man, very clean.

Is that timer for speed cubing by chance?

[canadiannerf]

I just want to know its most likely the stock spring.

[TantumBull]

Nice!

I love how Angel made the first lancer, and then you made a more realistic one. Whether it's better or not is a matter of opinion.

Now you took his doomsayer, and made it even more Effeminate.

Props on building onto excellent ideas to make them even better!

[slowguitarman]

Now that the initial flood of comments is over, I will respond.

@Kid Flash: It would be a little too hard to do kits unless you want to drill the holes yourself once you fit it on the gun. I would be willing to make one if you would ship me your gun, and I will put the stock on. Because of how the dremel cuts and routes, the stock has to be held in place on the gun while be drilled and assembled. If you are interested, pm me.

@canadiannerf: LS/BBB

@k9: Thanks.

@Coop: Yes, it is for speed-cubing. My best time is 36 seconds, and I average about 51 seconds.

@TantumBull: Forsaken has some awesome mods, so I build off of them and turn them into what I want them to be.

Thanks to everyone.

Those handles are beautiful! Are you going to leave them naked? Or stain and seal them?

Thanks, but I answered your question in the original post.

And to think that JUST yesterday, I was looking at my Rick Butz knives and carving chisels, thinking about how hilarious it would be to carve a wood crossbow shell. If I do though, I'm totally gonna spring for Coccobolo and Zebrawood...

Looks awesome! You've just gotta stain that sucker and varnish it up all nice. Has a nice Chicago Typewriter-esque foregrip; VERY nice.

Dude...I <3 you. I can't believe someone saw the Tommy gun influence. That was my inspiration for the stock and foregrip style. It will be stained and whatnot sometime in the near future, and it will be nothing less than gorgeous.

[BustaDartInYOurAss]

Dude, im not going to lie...thats SEXY. Now just to put wood finish stain it to make it mahogany color and shiny and it will be a beauty.

[Glint]

Wow, looks awesome. I love how you made it so it can still be opened uo, even with the wooden foregrip and stock. I have a couple questions though...

In the first picture it looks to me like your top barrel or two are angled downwards. Maybe it's just the relfection of light of the PETG, or just the camera angle... or maybe I'm just retarded...?

Also, are you planning to cut off/sand down the bit of wood that sticks out of the top on the end of the stock? Because if you sanded/cut it down to be the same level as the back of the gun itself it'd look much better.

All-in-all looks really great. Good job.

[bigred1rifleman]

You beat me to this, but I was going to put it on something else, not a DoomSayer.

[MoonMaster]

I too noticed the Thompson influence. I think this may be one of the most badass nerf blasters of all time.

Whoops. Didn't realize. I don't play GOW.

[slowguitarman]

I would first like to say: don't correct me on my blaster name. If you have played GOW, you should know that my name is not misspelled. If you haven't played it, one of the main characters is named DOMinic Santiago. It is Domsayer, but thanks for the other part of the comment. I'm glad to see people recognizing the influence.

@Glint: You are wrong on both counts. It does look like the barrels are super crooked, but they are very straight. As for the top of the stock, no, I will not be cutting it down. It is like that for a reason. It has to do with the apparatus that the lighted sights will mount onto.

[Glint]

Ah, okay. At least you have a reason for keeping the stock like that. Knowing you, it'll turn out looking great.

And I knew the barrels were just me

[orogomi ninja]

Wicked!

Add some stained and lacer finish and it should look authentic.


great idea!

[Greed]

When you said GOW I thought you meant God of War.

Now a god of war gun would be sweet...

The stock reminds me of a tommy gun...

[slowguitarman]

Haha, a God of War gun would be kinda awesome. Sorry for the confusion, but I am glad to see people seeing the tommy gun in this. I wanted this thing to incorporate some of the looks/features of some of my favorite real life guns. The turret is gatling gun-esque, it works like a pump shotgun, and it has the grips and stock of my favorite gun of all time: the thompson. I will note that I actually like the version of the thompson that doesn't have a vertical fore grip.

I love the use of the wood, but isn't the handle a little wide?

[Dr Moose]

I'm in love. Dude, this is one of the coolest things I've seen in a while coming from a guy who thinks that a clean looking gun is half the mod. awesome work.

[slowguitarman]

It isn't any wider than the stock handle, and because the wood is carved down, it is all round, and it is right up next perfect compared to the stock grip. Also, because of how the blaster's shell is made, it can't be any skinnier.

@Dr. Moose: thanks a lot.

[Forsaken angel24]

Interesting improvements.
I like the extended stock. I like it a lot.
The front handle I would go without though.

I would love to see this if it was stained a dark chestnut brown.
