Propmaniacs pulse build. Matsuo shrouds and various parts. Great pics here of a custom bracket to mount the GL. Detailed way to store batteries for a lit LED counter.
viewtopic.php?f=3&t=13475Jesters pulse scratch build. When I say scratch, I mean from the ground up. He does use a Matsuo shroud, but ALL other parts were hand made from the Thompson to the grenade launcher with functional scratch build 870 out of bare steel. No actual gun nor air-soft parts were used. Insane!
