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. ------------- Axe in the head, early to bed, Axe in the helmet, a thanks to Helmut... and I support Bush! So there. |

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. ------------- Pumpker'd; (V.) When a pump player runs up and shoots you at point blank range because you thought 20bps made you good. |

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. ------------- Axe in the head, early to bed, Axe in the helmet, a thanks to Helmut... and I support Bush!

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 - 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. ------------- GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!!!!!! |

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. ------------- Axe in the head, early to bed, Axe in the helmet, a thanks to Helmut... and I support Bush! So there. |
