Greetings everyone! Jediael here again with my final build WIP for my final HvZ game.

I am crafting my ultimate gun for my final game and I am going for broke and going super ridiculous while still being highly functional.

I have extremely slim-lined my modded magstrike into an integration friendly form. These pictures show my build process for it. I plan on mounting a second one on the other side.



The idea is to have a stock magstrike as the base (acts as a backup in case of air tank failure and also to conserve air tank reserves). Both modded guns will be fed from a wye connector that feeds both from the air tank. I am currently working on a custom trigger mechanism so I can trigger them separately. Those plans and builds will be forthcoming.

---------------------------------------------------------------

Build process:

Unscrewed both guns to remove internals to prep for first integration.



I have both shells here and I am screwing them together in key locations for stability but also where they don't hit any internals.




Screwed holes to access screw holes of stock gun.



Putting screws back in.




Putting internals back and reassembling.

Progress:

1. Cut out the part of the handle that holds the trigger. I will be developing a custom trigger to hold two of these side by side for triggering the two modded guns.


2. Mounted the 2nd magstrike, slightly angled for preferred firing angle. Also added a coupler to act as an arm brace. I plan to fancy it up with some padding and such.

Jediael, are all three magstrikes running of the one tanks?
if so is the tank banded and unrestricted to allow for more air or do you plan on running a compressor of some form?
Simply asking as I don't really see the point of the triple integration if you still have to pump between magazines, one
could simply reload which is very fast compared to pumping.

This is all assuming that all magstrike firing pistons are stock.

Thanks, Bee-Ri.

The central magstrike the other two are mounted on is stock with the pump and bladder. It gives me good space to mount the other two and acts as a backup in case my air supply for them runs out or otherwise fails. I also will opt to fire with the pump one whenits a single target to conserve the air tank reserves.

If you are familar with my air tank mod, which I am assuming you are not, the other two magstrikes are supplied by a 1 gallon air tank. This tank gives me approx 35 magazines worth of air before it needs to be refilled. I wear the tank on my back, ammo on a militaty vest and the hosing on my left arm, using my right arm to reload and actuate the two modded guns.
