Combustion M-4

[freder]

This is my newest gun & I love it

I build it after the inspiring example M4.

I rifled the barrel and marbels fit perfectly in it.

I used the same chamber as in my other cannon

Built the gun with old stuff that was laying around added a nice camo pattern
and that was almost it.

But I kinda scrued it with the hotglue but I didn´t know any other way to put
it all together and leaving any really ugly gaps.

I still have to mount my laserpointer and my home made M203 launcher on it. ( haven´t finished it jet )

Destruction pics are also going to come. As soon as I have a few nice ones.

nice job on doing something new.

Idk if its the camera flash or not but the camo looks glossy. I hate glossy camo guns they remind me of super soakers. So if it is actually glossy I would suggest re-doing the camo with krylon ultraflat camoflauge spray paints.

Other than that I like the overall look of the gun, get some vids up and you will have a decent showcase.

I´m thinking about building a probane meter on it.
This gun probably deservs it

Very nice, I love the paint job!

[freder]

thanks! Yeah it glossy because the paint I bought is shit.
it dosn´t stick to the plastic

I´m gonna do it new as soon as I find some spare time. But first I´m gonna finish the m203 launcher.

I only saw a M16 kinda look in the pneumatic category so I thought it would be cool havin a combustion m4/m16 gun. I think paintballs would fit in the barrel too but im not shur

Krylon Fusion is a good paint for plastics and after its cured its pretty much impact resistant (to an extent).

Awesome cannon though. It really looks like it should be carried by Arnold Swarzenegger.

How did you go about rifling the barrel?

[freder]

I did it like its shown here:

it worked pretty good after teh second try^^

But I guess it doesn't have any effect on marbles ? as they are too hard to grip the rifling.

For paintball the rifled barrels have straight rifling to stop the ball from spining, but i guess thats because they aren't that rounf or homogenous.

pretty slick rifle, good idea. with a small barrel like that i bet it has a loud bang.
