Replica Airsoft Shape.

[Redcoat]

thanks for all the ideas and after thinking about it i have decided to make a replica bb gun out of wood, of the RSAF Enfiled EM-2.
It's bullpup and its heeps cool. 8)

[MrCrowley]

Reminds me of the FG42....

[Redcoat]

that is a good looking gun....i might make another replica of the FG42 after this one in a month or two ..just want to spend more time with my spud cannons.

Er... it looks nothing like the FG42, in terms of calibre, size and configuration, the only thing they have in common is they're made of steel and wood

[MrCrowley]

Yeah im no gun expert I just liked the look of the FG42 and the wood and black of the other gun reminded me of it...I hadn't seen a picture of a FG42 since about 2years ago so I forgot exactly what it looked like but hey....does it matter?

[jackssmirkingrevenge]

I'll grant you there are some similarities, like for example the "straight through" muzzle-to-butt configuration to mitigate muzzle rise, yet the FG42 was still chambered for a full powered rifle round and thus cannot be considered to be a true assault rifle. The EM-2 took that concept further in a more compact bullpup configuration, couple with the lower powered 7x43mm intermediate power round as pioneered by the WW2 era Stg-44 rifle.

[MrCrowley]

Yeah but isn't there two versions of the FG42? A rifle version with the scope thats semi-auto and the full-auto version? Well anyway we are starting to go a tad offtopic

[jackssmirkingrevenge]

AFAIK all FG42s could fire either semi or full auto and they all had dovetail grooves capable of taking a scope but they were rarely fitted with one, I think you're referring to the Gewehr 43 - but yeah, off topic

hey would a cloud work on a pistol using a Co2 canister i i mean have the normal configuration like haver the canister where the mag usually goes and then have a small cloud in the gun to fire it.?

[Redcoat]

like this.

I think it would work, though it might not last too long.

get your hands on one of these, they're not too expensive:



The trigger's already there, all you have to do is attach the cloud chamber and you're in business

[Redcoat]

whats that? tell me tell me tell me please .....and is it refillable?

There is a really nice mod for those things here: http://www.bunkerboyz.com/phog/showthre ... 357&page=1

Doing that mod would keep the pressure around 800psi instead of it dropping instantly from a 12gram.

[Redcoat]

what is that thing jacksmirking revenge has there?

[Redcoat]

is there anything out there that i could substitute that co2 canister with?
without having to mod the actual shape of the toy gun too much..
it just its hard to find those things in australia.
