Pimp My Gun: Show your Creations [Image Posting tips in the First post]

[cuddlesRT75]

Lots of people seem to have a problem with sleepless nights, ok I get that tiredness can suck but for me it gives me loads of extra time to design guns!!!


So here are some more for you all

1st we have a G36 mod, made from non-G36 parts (apart from the sights), for artic operations

Spoiler

Next we have the FN PSM .50 - a .50 cal P90 mod

Spoiler

Finally we have a modified AK-74u and a scratch designed Karlov Combat Shotgun, both for use on tundra operations.

Spoiler

As ever comments and criticisms are welcome!

EDIT- once again my pictures aren't showing up - does this forum have problems with imageshack or am i being stupid?? Just to check its [@spoiler][@img]pic URL[@/@img][@/@spoiler] without the @s yeah? Anyway here are the URLs as well.

Then we have another idea from my crazy brother: a Gatling-style assault rifle. Three rotating barrels, a two-hundred round belt-fed magazine, and a rail-mounted battery. Would it work? You tell me.

Spoiler

Comments and criticism are welcomed for both, especially the Gatling rifle. I want opinions on this, please.

Unfortunately, the rifle is completely implausible. A hand-held Gatling rifle with 200 rounds + battery would be terribly heavy and awkward to carry, let alone fire. The box you have to hold ammo would be about 3 seconds worth of ammunition at 4000rpm.[footnote]Using the wikipedia article on the M134 Minigun, it fires between 2000-6000rpm (call it 4000).
200 rounds at 4000rpm = 200/4000 = 0.05min = 3sec.
Let me know if my maths is off.[/footnote] Shooting at 600rpm would also probably snap your wrist off, and jerk the gun up into the air or turn it into a bullet hose - even using 7.62 mm rifle ammunition. There's a reason these things are bolted to helicopters or the ground.
Even so, it would make a nice concept if you had the strength to carry and fire enough ammunition as well as the gun.

In the immortal words of the auto mechanic - I found your problem.
You're linking to the web page of the image on ImageShack, not the picture itself. There's a link for the picture on the right-hand side under 'Direct Link', next to a little arrow-box. That's what needs to be put in image tags, not the webpage URL. It's tricky to spot (the webpage ending in .jpg/), so don't feel bad. I've gone and corrected your previous post, so look at the spoiler to see how it's done.

EDIT: Whoops, sorry for the double post. I should know better and to edit the first one.

Cheers mate


And here's one more for the Tundra series

This includes 2 Karlov Combat Shotgun variants, the first is a breaching variant with solid stock, bayonet and holo sight. The second is includes a grenade launcher complete with shotguns own iron sights and a leaf sight for the GL

Also there is a PDW, kinda based on the MP7, with grip and folding stock - pic shows both compact and extended set up.

Spoiler

Just to clear any possible issues up the PDW is not shooting its own stock, or the stock and the barrel have merged its a typical AK stock which is fully compatible with the design as is shown below.

Looks like we have some problems, but I do always enjoy fixing these things. I suppose that I could lower the fire rate, though I still think three seconds of fire could work if you fired in bursts. If I fired at only 2000rpm, I'd squeeze six seconds of fire out of my 200 rounds, while still being able to dish out a lot of bullets.

The weight actually went into consideration while I was building. I tried to focus weigh toward the front to reduce muzzle climb, though you would probably have to be a space marine just to carry the thing with you. Thoughts on that?

I like the breaching shotgun setup, but your design has some scaling problems. For example, your shotgun's magazine overlaps the release latch and the PDW's attachments are too small.

You might want a foregrip on the shotgun, but nothing terribly wrong overall.

Yeah, i probably should have left the size as was for the PDW attachments, however the overlap on the release latch on the shotgun was on purpose, as i already have a fire selector on the pistol grip i was imagining the AK receivers fire selector switch as a mag release catch, the release latch is intended as guide rails for the load, allowing easier loading to in-experienced shooters . Imagine it is U shaped, but squared off, and slightly wider than the width of the mag back of the mag goes there then just slide up to load - decreasing load time as reduced chance of misaligning with the mag well.

See earlier post for initial Karlov Shotgun, this one has foregrip, which is why that variant was not included in this picture, here it is again

I made a sword-gun thing, after I was on wookiepedia and saw this: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Blastsword

It's only got a small mag because it's designed for dueling.

Some sight may be a good idea, but aside from that i like it, i was gonna have a go at making this, main picture, not the others though the ducks foot (bottom left may be interesting)

Some shotguns I made. The top one is semi-automatic, the bottom one is top loaded and pump action. The bottom one reloads by flipping the plate to the side and loading in the shell, like shown (lets say the grenade is a shotgun shell 'cause theres no shotgun shells in the new version). Would this mechanicaly work? Also would this work with the backwards pump action? I sorta got my idea off the neostead.

There's no reason why it shouldn't work, all thats needed is the right system of pulleys/levers inside the gun and the traditional mechanism can function with a backwards pump action

Thanks, that was quick

yeah, im insanely bored today

Even firing in bursts, you'd have trouble compensating for the hideous muzzle climb that results from firing 10 rounds at once. All the problems are solved if you say 'it's for a space marine', but it's just not gonna happen with a normal, squishy person.

Space marines do clear up so many issues. We'll call this one a "maybe" and see if my brother has any other deranged contributions.

The Neostead 2000 works that way. A forward-pumping shotgun shouldn't be that hard to design.

 

[cuddlesRT75]

Right, having been awake for about 48 hours I have pretty much run out of ideas for the Karlov Combat Shotgun range.

Here's a recap

The original - semi-auto, AK fire selector actually mag release catch, whereas the original mag release catch is now a quick-load aid. Also included is a modified AK-74

Spoiler

Then came some variants on the shotgun design, fist is a breaching model, with bayonet and holo sight. The second comes with a GL for ultimate ownage. Also included is a scratch built PDW (some attachments are too small but can't fix as don't have export code )

Spoiler

Now for the new stuff, the final Karlov variant - a pump action version of the Karlov for use by law enforcement and the civilian population.

Spoiler

Finally a modified MP5SD in tundra colour scheme. Also there is a scratch built sniper rifle I call it the Vostrad Mk 1, bullpup sniper rifle using an F2000 lower receiver, still features F2000 forward ejecting mechanism however the spent case travels less distance to ejector port above the grip. Also features bipod which is unfolded.

Spoiler

As ever comments and crits are welcome.

Um...I don't think you've really got the idea of a breaching shotgun there. It's supposed to be as small as possible and able to be placed directly against the lock / hinge being breached; you probably wouldn't bother with a stock, it's doubtful you'd need a holo-sight to tell if the barrel was touching the door, and unless you have particularly unruly doors I think the bayonet would just get in the way. Also, they tend to have muzzle brakes.

 

[cuddlesRT75]

Yeahi suppose it's more of a CQB weapon than a breaching weapon

 

[dbmountain]

look up how a pump-action shotgun works. sure, your pump-action variant has the fore-end ("pump"), but it really isn't serving the purpose that it's meant for.

this page has a nice series of diagrams
