What am I building? A series?

[buffalowinter]

Another project in the series what am I building. Yes, it is a "gun".

 

[buffalowinter]

It's an M2 Browning Machine gun movie prop gun that ignites a propane/oxygen mixture to simulate gun fire. Going to put it on a War Pig that I'm building out of a 300,000+ mile car my brother gave me.

You build some of the coolest stuff! I always enjoy following your projects.

We used to play with these a lot but in a bigger form. They make great artillery/mortar/ied simulators.

My brother gave me his 300,000+ mile car and I am making a War Pig.

 

[buffalowinter]

Turret ring is coming along.

 

[buffalowinter]

Gun works and have to work on gas mixture to allow rapid fire. Now to make the M2 body.


Might go with a MK19 if I can't get the rate of fire up past 3 seconds.

Wiring is a giant pain in the ass.

 

[buffalowinter]

So exactly what high-mileage beater did your brother give you?

Assuming it's not a Toyota Tercel....

So what kind of car will let you make up a War Pig? Or am I thinking it's not based on an LMTV... Or maybe it is?

Of course... there is the El Camino!!!

Sirhr

PS... when you're a Syrian but identify as a Mexican!

Sirhr

Not even sure, he's bringing it in 3 weeks. Just some generic family hatch back. Going to do a lot of cutting and welding, maybe remove the doors, put on bumper rails, side panels, repaint, etc. If it's running well, going to buy the biggest set of tires and rims and cut out the fender wells and build new fenders flares.

Hatchback... you can probably cut off the hatchback part and have a Subaru-brat-ish Technical.

Outstanding!
