Should i leave my gun looking like its one peice... or should i put graphics on it to make it look like it seperates at the center 4 inch coupler.. If i did that it would make it look like the rear of the gun was just a round.. that would be discarded (hooked on to the 4 inch coupler) then a new one would be put in its place..

Image

also.. i did not like the graphics above so.. it looks like this now..

Image

Please help me decide.. as i cannot..

1. Look like a 1 peice gun..
2. look like the back half is a round.. that attaches.. the detaches was round is fired.. kinda like this .. but not really.

Image[/b]

i was kinda like thinking..

at the 4 inch middle coupler.. putting the words "attach projectile cartridge here" with an arrow..

then on the so call cartridge.. (the unpainted peice above) writing the words.. attach to launcher here...

I think you should add some tape and that warning decal on to the added side. (hope you don't mind) i edited one of your pics to show you what i mean.

and as for it looking like the rear of the gun, ever consider putting a teloscopic rod on that end that serves as a portable gun rest. or even a handle? that way, you could tell it was the front of the gun.

Agreed. Is it supposed to look like a FGM-148 Javelin?

Been thanked: 1 time

IMO it doesn't look like a Javelin at all.. but does it really have to ? it is good as it is.... to some extend you gun looks like a LAW launcher becasue its launcher tube was telescoped and had to be unfolded before being fired.
