Imperial Infantry Weapons

[mihangelion]

oooooooooo very nice. i would love to make an elysian costume with grav chute etc. weapon would be either a bulpup lasgun or a shotgun hehe ^^

[ltericwatts]

Yes, there are many nice weapons in the élysian arsenal....
the shotgun with movable stock is nice too...and the sniper rifle in bullpub with bipod is nicer toooooooooo!!! Many work for the future... ;D
Today the postman bring me my uniform I´ll use for the elysian trooper.....ACU in coyote color, a little bit darker than the artworks uniform( my favorite was an Udssr tanker overall in earth brown, but I can`nt get it in right size!)

Well I've got a real nice shotty now (so may well put together an Imperial Navy trooper at some point) still looking at getting the FN2000 or Famas for the pulse rifle

[ltericwatts]

Yes, I think the FAMAS is a good basic for an elysian too...

[mihangelion]

yeh same here john. going to sort out my tau costume first. f2000 is next on the buy list

[ltericwatts]

The bipod is on his place.... ;D

The weight of the weapon is currently near 17kgs...(arrggll.. )

I ask you! Is there anything this man cannot make?! He should have been an Adept in the Machine Cult

[ltericwatts]

Thanks
Ooohhh...yes, there are many things I can´t do...electronic and electric is absolutly not my job...
and I think an valkyrie is a problem to do .....and all toys with parts over 750kgs are an handling problem ;D
Aaaand, my welding equipment is´nt strong enough to weld steel in an (real)tank-like-armour- thickness........

[mihangelion]

a valkyrie? you have to be kidding or im thinking of the wrong one (the drop ship)

[ltericwatts]

mihangelion :
Hehe...sorry , was a joke...I never would build a valkiyrie( yes I mean the drop ship).
I build only things with an good contact to the ground..because if there is an mistake in the construction the fall is´nt soooo deep ;D

But if there old harrier fighters in military sales we mix up the parts from the short take off sections, the wings and the engine with an hull of an CH46 Cargo Helicopter, the front of an Apache ....... ;D

Noooooo, never this project, to dangerous, to expensive not enough place to do this...

Today, I work at the sight/ sight mount...is not perfect and it was not so easy to do, but now it is added...I use the sight of the PzFst1 light anti tank weapon. I can fix that with two screws in the box.


and a look through the sight


I aim directly through the sight not like the elysian one, I think then I had to use an camera, because they aim over the barrel.

What scope are you using there? I like the reticule set up with it, nice and clear and open.

[ltericwatts]

The old federal german army style "leichte Panzerfaust 1/ Kal.44mm" This lightweight antitank weapon is still not longer in service of the german army, its the reason why you can get this parts without spending to much money...

PS. but in 1987 I get the full drill exercises at this weapon ;D
Greets Watts

[ltericwatts]

Nearly ready ...there are some little things I must do tomorrow...the glasses, used look...but I´m very satisfied at this point.. ;D



and I adapted an little gimmick...an scull with an gravchute on the front of the weapon..

Ooooo…excellent work. I’d hate to be the one carrying it though.

Very interested in the scope. Do you have a weblink (even a German language one) of a supplier or can you pick them up from eBay?
