Hi All
Well its been three years of cursing, burnt fingers and one trip to the eyedoctor to get metal out of my eye but my pulse rifle is finally finished! im very pleased how it turned out. Not completely screen accurate but when I saw the movie in 1986 this is how I remember it. I painted the shrouds with Rustoleum flat olive green and like the way it came out. I then weatherd it by scraping all the raised and curved edges to expose the dull aluminum paint that I used under the green and black paint.
The shrouds are from Matsuo as well as the grip, counter, hcg grenade launcher and metal front block. The launcher was customized by me. I added the metal front block kept most of the innards but added two copper pipes where the barrels are supposed to e. The reason for this is so I have a place to keep the stick battery for the airsoft part of the gun. I also added a spring loaded metal trigger as well. Its all still rackable.
The barrel vent was made by me and is 16 gauge steel. I also made the shoulder stock and it is adjustable with 4 detents. Ha a spring loaded pushbutton which releases the stock. The stock is 16 gauge steel as well and you can stand the rifle up on it. Its very strong.
The magazine is metal which I cut to fit and it is still functional. When you slide the mag in the counter lights up. I added a switch so this can be turned off. Counter is static.
Id like to thank everyone here for all their help and support over the last three years especially Matsuo who without his parts this would be just a pile of junk in my garage. Heres pics let me know what you all think and if I can improve anything let me know!
Joe.
