This is my Elite Rapid Trooper. The idea sprung up from one of the many flywheel vs plunger debates.

Elite Rapid Trooper.

If you have any questions feel free to ask. This should be my last FNG post so I can get to questions in a more timely manner.

You, sir, are a complete genius. Amazing idea to get the best of both worlds.

looks great and I love 35-rd drum =)
ps maybe you could mount the battery in the stock or on it(duct tape)

I like the look of the drum as well just not the functionality. I've never carried a drum into battle. Also that is a 25rd drum.

And the battery is pretty set where it's at. I think the handle is a pretty clever place for it. Nice and out of the way.

I think that although this may not be practical in battle, it still looks really cool.

What makes you think it won't be useful in battle?

The overall bulk of the rapidstrike on top. It would hinder balance it seems. I can see why you couldn't put it on the bottom, but having a gun on top of a gun would weigh it down.

That's pretty neat and I just love how you are using a raider/rampage magwell, keep up the good work.

I think it's a great looking blaster.I think that it would be ok for battle as long as you didn't drop it.


Oh. And I love the tacticool pic of that gun!

I can see why you would think that it hinders balance. However the extra weight is above the handle so the balance isn't to out of whack. While there is definatly more weight on the blaster I don't think it is noticeable.
I use a stock with all pump action clip fed so that helps as well.

Overall it is very dynamic, capable of great RoF (Plasma dash'ed pusher and slam fire EAT), has great capacity (two magazines ready to be fired at the same time), and great reliability (EAT jammed > RS, RS jammed > EAT).

Oh I see. About how much does it weigh? I like how you have the back up if one blaster jams.

Not trying to be sarcastic, literally the only way I can think to answer this.
It weighs about as much as a EAT and half a Rapid Strike.
