I can only call it THE S.T.F.U.

Small Terminal, Fighting Unit
...what did YOU think it stood for?

Here's two mildly reworked MP7's:









Note the articulated grip: It goes up and down in a straight line, while the gun itself moves through an arc.

1: FIRE button (index finger).
2: MAIN ignition.
3: SPIN button (thumbs).
4: ARM toggle (heli-style,wheee!)
5: PRIME ammo button (pre-feeds ammodrives).
6: Voltage Monitor.
7: VM 9v batt dock.
8: 12v automotive relay.
9: Twin 18v power packs.
10: NEC mini relay (auto-runs ammodrives when firing).
11: Power connector for ammodrives.
12: Ammodrive umbilical connector.
NOT SHOWN 13: ammodrives.
Letters T, U, are the barrel drive motor connectors.
D, E, are airsoft gearbox connectors.
What looks like random colors of wire is color-coded:

This all sits into a custom ground unit with room for everything shown, the power packs included.

The inner powerplant and how they mount up.

......wow.

So it's pretty much a turret sort of thing that is meant to be manned? That is prolly one of the coolest things I've ever seen.

Look up Keeper, nepa-airsoft. Keeper has five or six of my creations now. He's gotten almost everything I've made recently, come to think of it...

The STFU continued
Wanna see how it went together?

Dual-Mini Frame.
How about like a "motorized minigun dummy"? with a hollow body, so it COULD be made into whatever you wanted it to be?

Making 1919 Browning bodies today, these got worked into previously unused stock.


At top left, the dual minigun is taking shape. Foreground, five more M3's.


The guy at Harbor Freight is gonna think I'm nuts when I buy 7 cordless drills all at once. I'm just not looking forward to tearing them down. Maybe I'll get another cordless screwdriver*.

*And not cannibalize it for parts at 3:00AM like the last one.


How a mini is to be mounted has a bearing on it's design when it's an airsoft gun.
The inner barrel has to be upright, or the hopup is a hopsideways, or a hoptotheleftorright.

SO...I backed up, and designed a mini that was a universal dummy first, and an airsoft gun second. I figured, why not make it a hollow tube from the start, so a bit of drilling or cutting can make it fit in about any of the popular mount configurations:


Door gun, note the drive motor is on top of the body.


The M3 would sit like this.


Movie gun, note the motor and delinker hang in balance from the bottom.
This is also how they're oriented in many pintle mounts.


So the M3 is situated like this.


Not many mechanisms can fit cleanly inside something this small. Not everyone likes the MP7's innerds, either. I've drawn one up using my old pal, the CYMA M14, and the gearbox and drive motor hang 6" out the back lower. That would hide under the spade grips, in my Mk93 mount here:



Yes, it does resemble a mouse..."M3 Mousegun"?

that would make me stfu
