What do you do with it? Here's the body.

I have the ability to make it the ultimate Sniper, the ultimate electro, or the ultimate mech, and as is natural with such decisions: I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I FREAKIN' WANT TO DO!!!

*breathes*

Seriously though. It is frustrating. I've had moments when I say, "Duh, it has to be a Sniper!" Followed shortly by "This would be the smoothest mech ever." Which was followed up by "Think of how good this would look shooting at 3O+ BPS with no eyes!"

I'll elaborate:

Sniper:

I have all the parts to build an unregged Sniper, including a Sniper I valve, proper springs, devolumizer and a nice CCM pump kit. Would be marvelous, and I've got a nice, modified Sportshot hopper and a perfect 4 oz. to go with it.

Electro:

Can you say Ripper Osiris? God gun... For those that don't know, the Osiris uses 2 LPR's and 2 rams (one internal FASOR ram, which strikes the valve, and the external "cocking" ram) to achieve rediculous speeds. PGI, who manufactured the kit, advertised speeds over 30 BPS (not CPS, but BPS). Thing is, you didn't need eyes, as the cocking ram could be set to such low pressures, it would barely pinch. I've got all the parts needed to build this as well. Also, I've got a Rat 3:16 valve with soft springs.

Mech:

I don't actually have the parts for this yet, but by selling off the HP Sniper setup and the Osiris setup, I can afford quite literally any 'cocker part I wanted, and this would be the ub3rest mech I could possibly imagine. The parts list is too large to list, but suffice it to say, you can imagine it would be nice.



Either option would be absolutely ridiculous, and I can say that without ego (not the marker...). Problem is, with each setup I've got planned, you cannot switch (at least easily) from one function to the other, so it will have to be either/or.

Any thoughts? With my current state of frustration, and a new plethora of quality parts, I figure it can't hurt to get opinions.

Thanks!

Edit: WOO! 9k posts!

You should sell it, and donate the money to PBC.

Or if you do make something out of it you should make it a blatant advertisement for PBC.

Skip the mech, build the electro and save the pump parts for a later project.



Failure to comply will result in internet stalking.

^^^ An exceptionally valid question.

BUT, while that would be friggen cool, in order to unlock Satan's 'cocker, I will need to cut down on cycling mass, get a Race frame, and replace some pneumatics. And THAT would be the problem. Do I want to tear up my Ripper, or another body...

On that note, here's some cut Ripper concepts.
