Yeah, I was wondering that too. Silver will not hold up well. Pewter probably wont either. |

He did say material and mentioned getting his gun body made out of it, whereas silver is useless, expensive and would scratch to pieces. Pewter is a crappy, dull, and incredibly weak metal that is found in Brass Eagles (hehe) and would probably explode. AND, you can't anoodize either of them. ALUMINIUM/ TITANIUM / STAINLESS STEEL is probably what he's referring to. You probably want a material that has the least amount of friction. Listed least to most: 2. Brass- slick, but its too soft, not shiny, and needs LOTS of maintenance. 3. Stainless Steel- good durability, slick, no maintenance. 4. Aluminum- lightest, good durability, but the least slick out of all of them. I'd say go Titanium if you have a wad of cash burning a hole in your pocket (big wad), otherwise have it cut out of stainless steel. ------------- A-5 E-grip Chipley Custom Carbon Graphite 16" Evil Adapter(Spyder) 32 Deg New '03 XChamber Remote Line Gun Sling Sniper f/x Stock LPK 68/4500 HPA R-5 CP Reg JCS Duel Trigger |
