has anyone thought about or actually modded their gun and hopper to look like a Bren light machine gun the Brits carried in WWII?  Just wondering because I was trying to do that to my hopper. Post any suggestions you might have.

It would be an incredible looking Mil-Sim, that much is for sure. Producing it however could prove to be difficult. I do think it is quite possible though as long as the producer is skilled in designing. I am willing to bet Englar or Thompson or someother producer could make it. I would really like to see it done.

Actually there are a few people who are still working on that idea and from what Ive read from their sites, theyre gettin close to having it become a reality.

For the clip, you could just get a tube that would fit in the hopper holder thing, and then form the clip from sheet metal. Then you could get a long barrel and put a bipod on it, then just find a stock to fit.  you could make a cool carry handle pretty easy probably.

hehe, cant show sarcasm by just typing....

and I've heard that Cushman stuff isnt very good... does anyone have any of his stuff?  And Englers stuff is extremely good, but really pricey... havent heard of the other one...

Cushman is just vacuum-molded plastic... i wouldnt even consider them in the search.

if you really want it bad... talk to rusty at www.rustyspaintballgear.com
they will find a way to build it and only charge you for the parts. It can still be pretty expensive though.

Im still trying to make clips that fit on the hopper elbow thing.  Trying to make it out of sheet metal and a PVC pipe.  Yeah, if you can do it Thompson, kudos to you.  I would love to see you make one.
