Hey fellow Joes
I have a question that I need help on I recently bought a Sears Dreadnok ground assault motorcycle. My question is the side gun is not all one colour. The front of the Gatling gun barrow is a lighter green. The ones I seen on line are all one colour, is this a variant? |

I have had people argue with me that the two-tone motorcycle gun was simply created by an unscrupulous collector taking two of the different colored side guns and swapping the tips. I do not believe this to be the case. I bought my three examples from a very reputable source. You finding another one in the wild reinforces my belief that there were indeed three different motorcycle side gun variations. Nice find!

3-D joes has all 3 examples/ variations on his web site . As far as I know, its accepted fact that there are 3 variants of the dreadnok Ground Assault RAM side gun

It looks like a running change, where they switched from the light green color changing plastic, to the dark green. Probably to save a few cents. They probably had extra light green gun tips and used those up before switching to a solid dark green gun.

I've be skeptical about the Light Green tips. Looking at the Ram from a tooling perspective, it would be very unlikely that the gun tip was on it's own sprue. Every other example of the RAM gun the Gun tip is the same color as the rest of the side gun.

Mine has the two colors. It seems like the tip is attached pretty well, so I don't know if that's factory or not.
