nice work ompa!!

[DJ Hurley]

Wow, thats the nicest looking homemade I've seen in a long time. Very impressive. Maybe I should make the Halo 1 Assault Rifle...

[okto]

niiice...looks like v2 incorporates a bolt-action breech? or is that a different homemade?

Good job ompa. With another coat of primer it will be even better.

Utterly sweet, ompa. That gun rocks.

[ompa]

Probably won't be a v2, mainly just little improvements on this one. However, expect a spring-loaded clip-fed loser rifle powered by CO2 in the quasi-near future.

Wow very nice job!

[Renegade]

Nice job Ompa, it looks awesome!

[Blue Bunny]

That is one amazing gun. Very, very nice work ompa. The shotgun is the best gun from HALO, in my opinion.

[FIDO]

Wait, I don't see the trigger in that picture. Did you try to find a better trigger or have you just taken it off?

[CheeseNerfer]

Thats it Ompa as soon as I have a chance your going in my sig! absolutely awesome. I hope this rifle will be as amazing as boltsniper's was, good luck!

Isn't that in everyone's quasi-near future? o_<

[ompa]

Yeah, but I have a few prototype clip mechanisms, and a working gravity-fed one, on my table. I'm just looking for a place to buy a leaf spring (physical place) that won't give me funny looks when I try to buy it. And I have the CO2 thing planned out, I'll draw up plans in a week or 2, whenever I have time/when Winter Break starts. Whichever comes sooner. Ask Air though, I DO have plans. Although it also hinges on my parents allowing me to buy a $18 paintball gun. Damn variables. Damn precalculus.

You can get a blade at wal-mart for $16.26. Talons are almost $30. I've been brainstorming a clip mechanism myself, good luck with yours ompa.

I don't doubt you ompa. It seems like a springfed magazine, boltaction semiauto has been every Nerfer's dream for so long...sort of the Holy Grail. I have a design I've been working on too, I just can't afford the materials. Bleh.
Hope yours works out. I will be the first to congratulate you if it does.

[Shadow knuckles]

i think im gonna try that out!!!
i have a at3k with a broken casing that i was doing notihing with if you dont mind me copying your idea...
oh and i can trade you a blade pb gun if u like.

[ompa]

I can't trade/sell/buy stuff online for the most part, but thanks for the offer. I'll just get one at my local walmart, soon as I have a clip built.

~ompa

[pigeon4]

Looks awesome. Does the trigger work or is it just for decoration?

[ompa]

functional, soon as I glue it back on...

Man, I stopped playing Halo after that Flood level, primarily because I needed to buy a new pair of pants after it, (The chair went into the trash too) but man that's sexy. What'd be awesome is if you could use a CO2 cartiridge or something like that to power a blowback system to chamber a shell from a magazine. Frickin semio auto fire.....I know, not from Halo, but for a Benneli M4 Super 90? Shweet.

But, quiveling over aesthetics (and poop-laden pants) aside, frickin' shweet. Very nice job Ompa.

[okto]

You shat your pants over Halo? Please.

You shat your pants over Halo?  Please.

No kidding. Try playing Doom 3. Oh my head.

** OFF TOPIC **

I've heard a lot of people bagging the crap through Doom 3. They always say it was linear and not very scary in the way that, it was scary, but was predictable. You know, it still made them jump, but just as a surprise, thats all. Same formula everytime.

Oh, shadows and darkness, i better pull out my flashlight and hit some people with it, considering it does more damage than the pistol

** ON TOPIC **

Yeah, this is a great gun, and a turning point in the droolage factor. #cookie?
