"Honey Badger"-Like rifle

[Chemo]

I'm surprised nobody has tried starting with an ICS CXP. Looks fairly similar.

Been thinking about building one myself and I think I found some parts, and websites to get them for a build of this, felt like sharing them for opinions.

Personally I think that these parts are pretty close to the actual honey badger design, the only thing I think may be a problem is mounting that stock, but its not a big hurdle, just some modifications. Any opinions or ideas?

I actually built one as well, but it ended up have a HK spin to it. I started with a Umarex HK416c.

The recently announced Ares Amoeba honey badger piqued my interest in this gun. Another similar honey badger gun is Krytac's Trident PDW (http://blog.airsoftcommunity.de/iwa-...ent-aeg-series). Just replace the rail and the outer barrel with a long suppressor and longer keymod rail and it would be really close to the real steel version.

I am really interested to see where the battery is placed. I personally do not like the look of PEQ boxes and I hope Ares and Krytac found a better solution

Black ops airsoft makes a pretty swank one as well.

Honey Boo Boo- like rifle:

-Sandard AR
-Dip in Mayonaise
-Lube with butter
-Heinz 57 decal on buttstock
-Tune motor/ gears to sound like "Yeeeee-haawww!"
-Paint blush and rouge, accent with eyeshadow

(I'm sorry for threadshitting, good luck with your gun)

The new ares almost got the look of the long handguard honeybadger out of the box

Forgot the sketti ghillie wrap

wow, that was disappointing. 1- it's an ARES, 2- instead of making a lower and upper both with a recess for the stock, nope.. standard lower with a upper that has added material instead of actually having a proper recess.
so it's a wanabe badger with a wide as fuck stubby stock.
oh well, moving on.

here's the real deal for a better comparison.

Just finished my build the other day. Like the OP - my blood, sweat, and tears went into this build. Everything that could go wrong, did go wrong - lol.

Worth it though. Learned a lot along the way.

This version has the JP Rifles hand guard. It's front wired with a 1500Mah 70c 7.4v in the PEQ. Considering getting a longer outer barrel and reversing the silencer like previously suggested in the thread. With this, I could fit quite a large nunchuk battery in there I figure

Oh and I'm totally aware there's no front site on it yet.

That looks great! Better than the real thing in my opinion. Love those JP handguards
