"Stop your grinnin and drop your linen!"

Tippmann X7 M41a "STORM Variant" Pulse Rifle...

This is my rendition of the classic ALIENS M41a that The Colonial Marines used in the movie.....as of right now its 90% done :)

Everything on the body was custom made and or modified by moi :)

The custom ammo counter is shipping out tomorrow....and should have all the internals re-installed by the weekend :)

Wow storm, it looks great!


Weird title though, don't get it.

I meant it as in holding the weapon

Repped...alot of work went into it...some people said to just go ahead and buy the airsoft kit ( which is like over 300 bux) and mod it to fit the X7....i chose not to...ive redone the shroud twice, the magazine twice, the launcher/shotgun twice and the barrel shroud twice..

Twice? What went wrong with it?

And you can tell that a lot of work has gone into it storm :)

i messed up on the gun shroud..the vent holes were all wonky...the first upper shroud broke...the magazine fit at first and then didnt fit at all....it was a mess...the shotgun part was all crooked.....all fixed now :)

AWESOME jobe storm...I know how the modding business can be. I was working on a piece to fill the gap in my tacamo and was just about done and the saw "binded/bound" and cracked the piece...SUCKED. I just gave up looking for better material to work with!

I think it would be awesome if you could somehow work the components from a box mag (nautilus drive) into your design so you didnt have the cyclone sticking out. I see there is some room on the lower half of the marker (unless there are other components in that casing). Would be an awesome realism addition.

regardless...it looks SICK!! Cant wait to see the ammo counter in action!

thanks sy...i thought about using a warp feed as a magazine but the magazine housing would be too big...maybe i might do one for a tacamo kit for the ab.....might eliminate the space between the trigger and magazine :)

Would love to see that!

I'm watching 'Aliens' right now!

repped for watching ALIENS
