I'm just a fan of anything that goes "boom" :cheers:

And can you think of anything that goes "boom" better than a 20mm semi-auto grenade launcher?

no sir! well, walking around with a howitzer would impress me more.

*Enter my friend, who I shall call Minime, stage right* Afformaentioned friend has been experimenting with Airsoft Arty designs and has designed a airsoft arty piece that can be detached from it's base. Since aformentioned Arty piece uses a disosable Co2 cartrige like a rocket to propell the projectile, it is lightwieght and can be used by-hand. The only problem we have is finding a safe-to-use round to fire.

As it is, when he carries it it looks like the illegitamte love-child of a bazooka and the Minigun in Terminator 2

we need more people like this, innovators. Id love to know how to make my own frames, im dying to make an MRC from Crye.

For the lower carabine I'd see the Marui H&K G3 series or H&K MC51 as a the contruction base, with a shortenned G3 fore grip.

As for the precision rifle section, a gutted FA MAS-F1 frame seems fitting (unless you're willing to search for an L85A1 frame). Maybe integrating a Maruzen M1100 or Marushin Winchester M1887 into the frame, while maybe sacrificing the semi automatic (using a bolt to cock the shotgun), might give a sense of power. Although I would rather put a gas powered rifle in the upper section. Since using a shotgun means stripping everything but the bare essentiels (Barrel, cocking system, ammo) which might cause problems when it will come down to the esthetics, or system for that matter.

All in all, I'd rather squeeze my budget real hard, keep it close, and let the bulky guns to some guy named Rambo with an italian accent.

yeah that things a bitch of a big gun.

Being a bargin-soft player I understand the cost problems.. this is just hypothetical

[PTE. Pyle]

basically I would modify a shotgun shell or large bore rifle round like a .50 bmg round. basically cut the shell to the length you want drill the hole where the primer would normally sit(this would serve and a port in witch some type of valve would enter the shell and blow gas in to it witch in turn would blow the projectile out of the shell. something like a small nerf dart or rubber ball.

as for the firing system I am seeing something along the lines of gbb system. only rather than moving the whole shell forward in to the barrel it would only extract the shell and another shell would move straight up. there would also have to be some kind of long pipe that could blow a large about of gas into the shell to propel the projectile.

or you could simply make it bolt action.

the extremely hard part. well for me would be actually building it. I am good at coming up with ways to make things but lousy at actually building them

[Greenwolf]

I get what your getting at, Pyle. Hell if it's GBB you could easily make it powerful enough to actually eject the spent case like a real round. One problem with ANY gbb sytem for the OICW design: Bothe the rifle and the grenade launcher operate off of the same trigger, so you'd have to set up some way of having one triger select-fire control both an AEG and a GBB.

One Idea, Two gearboxes, two AEGS... one standard 6mm the other firing a specilize 10-15mm soft slug. The Battery could be concealed in the space between the Grenade clip and the rifle, and have conectors running to both gearboxes. The trigger could simply swith witch AEG gearbox is being used. Not sure about how you'd cramm all that in there but I'm sure it's possible.

why not use a servo for a rc car to be the triger for the gl launcher. instead of the trigger for the aeg maby make one of the buttond that are on the trigger gaurd be the trigger

BEcause I kinda like the Idea of actually having it operate like a real OICW.. and besides where's the fun in pressing a button to fire and airsoft gun, huh?

[PTE. Pyle]

well you wouldnt be firing the gl full auto. it will be a rarely used weapon. otherwise you would have to compleetly redesign the triger for whatever your basc gun is. add an extra position on your fire selector or somthing. otherwise i have no clue how the hell you could make that work.

[Amazing KG3]

I thought it was an explosive round, more so then a grenade.

you are absolutly right. they developed 3 ammo typs. an air burst round that you could adjust the distance and alt of explosion. an HE round. and a training round.

btw. yay my 666 post on asc :tup:

I never said full auto, the top AEG would be semi-auto only... if possible. Again the GBB system would actually probably be harder to do.
