halo paintball gun

I want to make one of my guns to look like the assault rifle from halo. problem is I need a material that is cheap but can withstand battle damage. I'm hoping that the finished product will look like this:

I hate the assault riffle...

No, NOW it has lame all over it.

But on a serious note, I personally hate most of the weapons in the HALO universe.

Especially something as big and slab sided as that, when hits to guns count as kills in paintball. Why make it so big? That design always struck me as a serious waste of space. You could make it so much more compact.

I'd run with something like the MP7 SMG pistols they use in HALO. (Unless you want to run a Q-loader I don't see that rifle working, you'd have to stick even MORE junk on it)

Nazi Zombies is such a fun game

Do they make this as a replica toy or as an airsoft? If not, look into making it out of fiberglass. You could probably make the molds out of cardboard etc and glass over them... Honestly, from the shape of it, I would say start with a TM7 or maybe T9 as a base.

^^^^ I play at several fields as well that don't count hopper or weapon hits.

I don't care that you don't care about our opinions!

I don't play at an organized range I just play over at our hunting cabin where we have a field with old cars and farm equipment. Everything is purely recreational and I probably wouldn't bring that gun to a range anyway knowing they count marker shots.

It's funny that you say that.  The field I play at doesn't count gun hits either.  (This is not a subject I care either way on.  The only advantage to allowing gun hits is it lets me take out the guys who just stick their gun out and fire blindly a little easier.  Without gun hits, I have to either take the time to make them waste most of their paint or shoot enough to keep them not looking while I move to a better firing angle.  They still go out, it's just more work.)  Anyway, last summer we had a kid show up with a home-made riot shield (non see-through) and he was granted permission to use it.  I made him my personal target and took him out in the first three games* and he gave up on it.  (He was a much better player without it by the way.)

*  First game I shot him in the foot as he was moving up on me.  Second game he kept the shield lower so I shot the bottom of the shield a couple of times then popped him in the mask when he dropped the shield to the ground to cover his feet.  Third game he grounded the shield and froze in place hunkered behind it as soon as my first shot hit it so I kept a slow steady fire on the shield to keep him down and moved to a better firing angle.

Your Right Unless the person making this wants to just have fun and doesn't care about getting competitive. Lets face it. Its frickin sweet to see a guy walk onto a paintball field with a assault rifle
