Thompson Shocker

I finally have gotten around to getting pictures of my newest creation. After many hours in the shop and help from my father we've finally have constructed the first (that I know of) Mil-Sim Shocker!

Overall Picture

Front Shroud

As you can notice, there is a guage sticking out the bottom. Within the shroud is the older style horizontal Max Flo that I rigged up under the barrel. The shroud originally was a 2" x 3" chunk of oak, now it has been hollowed out and shapped, then stained.

The clip was made from a piece of 1" x 1.25" Polyethylane (AKA Black Plastic), hollowed somewhat and notched to silouette with the trigger frame and solenoid tray. Nothing flashy, just for looks. However, if I do get enough feedback from friends and other players, I might decide to make a Drum clip from some 5" PVC and some Lexan.

The stock. It holds pretty nicely and isn't that heavy compared to using a 20oz co2 tank. It's comprised of three pieces of oak that have been laminated together, woodworked, and stained.

I am seriously thinking about rigging a Q-Loader onto it instead of the Evolution, however with the lack of funds that will have to wait for a bit.

The Shocker itself is a 2002 Shocker Sport 4x4 with a Delrin Bolt, Full Body Filter, 14" Freak with All American Front, with a .689 Insert. I've done many modifications and customizing to the stock double trigger. It has a feather light pull, 1mm total pull length and a .5mm marker activation (when the marker actually fires) pull length. This is thanks to the super light spring, modified microswitch, and a trigger length stop I made.

Let the judging commence!

front shroud looks very bulky..

Looks good, although I think the drum mag would make it look better. To me at least, the front shroud just looks like aplain old block of wood. The mag coming from it would look real nice, IMO. I like the idea of turning a speedball-related gun into a mil-sim, very original. I like the looks, excellent job!

I say if you can tell what gun its suppose to resemble it looks good. Lets not forget he made these parts so I congratulate you.

Kudos on your craftmanship

The only thing i don't really like is the front shroud, i think its too big and square looking.

i give ya props for originality    and also for beautiful wood work   hope it works out 4 ya!

I think thats pretty sweet, looks alot like a thompson but you need to wo0rk on the front shroud

wait...u can laminate wood 2gether...u learn something new everyday...looks really heavy but i luv it

very cool, i like it. just the front grip is...umm. maybe you could cut some grooves in the side, like long ones, and narrow it a little bit

[-------] kinda like that but not in sections, kinda hard to explain, but very nice work. i love it!
