I was gonna do the same thing with the Resolute legs but mine have been used so many times they were not tight. But it looks freaking awesome, good job.

I'm sitting on my bed with my laptop and a whole slew of action figure parts, and I was just getting ready to assemble some of the same parts! Looks great! I agree with you about the sword. I'm gonna use a different gun, and I'm debating about which lower legs to use. I like yours though! Nice!

i actually do believe that is an m4. obi, i do see what you are saying about it jsut being a tactical ak, but look at the reciever. it has an ejection port cover and a rear assist, as well as a rear take down pin, which would make it an m4/m16 style rifle, since ak's dont have one at all. on the other hand, it has a flat top and an ak-47 style barrel and front sight post, and add that distinct banana clip, it looks more like an ak style weapon. the funny thing is , on the reverse side of the weapon, its just a mirror image, so i think hasbro just kind of threw something together that looked cool, but not very functional. but hey,who cares. lol
That's not an ejection port but a poorly rendered sight attachment. If you look close at the gun it has the AK selector as well as rear sight (again very badly done so it looks like a rear assist), not to mention the curved magazine The RIS on top also gives it away - it's an AK with a M4 butt-stock and (G27)pistol grip |

haradrel, i see what you mean, but if you go to generalsjoes.com and see the review he has, you can clearly see the weapons right side. i dont know if were talking bout the same thing or not, but on the shock troopers weapon, it is defenitly an ejection port cover. on the ak the selector switch works as a safety, selector, and ejection port cover. but if look at the shock troopers weapon, just above the magazine well, it is clearly a carbine/m16 style ejection port cover, as well as further back a rear assist. additionally, an ak has no need at all for a rear take down pin beacause there is no upper and lower reciever to an ak. but you can clearly see a rear take down pin just above the pistol grip, making this an m4 style weapon. i actually use to ccarry that tactical ak you posted up there, with a few differences of course. i gotta say, i would still take my m4 over any ak any other day. while every iraqi/afghani soldier thought they could hit targets at 300m plus, me and my marines were puttin guys down at well over 400m. the ak is cool to play with and all, but when it comes down to it, you can never go wrong with a fine tuned black gun.

If you look at the details on the picture I posted it's near identical, even the ris covers are there. Besides, it's extremely rare to have m4's with AK type magazines. Also take into account the "terrorist" angle of Cobra as well as the dragunov rifles of the former 25th cobra troopers, I do believe that the creator behind this weapon clearly wanted it to be an AK type weapon. Here's another shot of an AK with M4 kit to further illustrate my point: as well as the piece that you think is the dust cover: it's the lower part that gets attached to the gun. Obviously the sculptor of the gun has taken some liberties, but it's pretty clear to me where the main inspiration came from. What gives it away for me is the RIS set on the gun, no M4 has one shaped like that, it's specifically for the AK. Also look at the entire back half of the gun, sans the stock and stock pipe - that's clearly an AK design, it lacks the ris where the carrying handle of an M4 would be - in fact if you can come up with a photo of an M4 without the carrying handle and a smooth surface where it should go, I would be willing to consider this an M4 type weapon. To me it looks like a stylized mount for optics. - even if it was an ejection cover, where is the ejection port? If what you think is the forward assist is actually a fire selector like I'm saying, it would be in a safe position on an AK and hiding the ejection port, which makes more sense - the thing that will irk both of us is that it's just mirrored on the other side, which makes no sense for either explanation. But take a look at the first picture I posted -the front post, ris, ak rear sight, ris panels even the flashlight on the ris and magazine is exactly the same - it also holds the m4 kit m16 grip and retractable stock - but has a different make on those two. To me clearly the picture of the gun was the inspiration for the gun. Anyway, like I said; I think we will have to agree to disagree on this one - all in all it's a cool gun! I think everybody can agree on that. Last edited by haradrel; 01-02-2011 at 10:54 AM.. |

totally man. i see what you are saying, but given i cant actually show you in person the peices we are discussing, we will just have to agree to disagree. i love weapons debates, and to be honest, its good to actually see someone else with an interest. i think we can conclude that it was sculpted by someone whowas jsut having fun. btw, the ejection port on the ak is on the right side of the reciever. it is where the spent brass ejects from the weapon. it is on the same side of the m, but it has an ejection port cover, which is a spring operated cover that opens as the gun operates, and is closed manually. good talking to you tho. o, and i did the same to my snake eyes. any idea on what wouyld happen if i just dyed all of the peices to match the black?

The selector on the AK works as a dust cover - on the M4 it's a separate piece, I'm also proficient at taking both these guns apart and putting them back together XD So yeah all the bits and bobs are very familiar to me as well. Are you thinking of the pieces on Snake Eyes or the gun? I think the gun would look good in back, I might go gunmetal gray on some of the parts instead of complete black though just to make it stand out a bit - the polished/chrome silver on it now really makes it more of a bling gun to me. |

yeah haradrel, i see what you mean. good eye. ive been building black guns for about 10 years as well. im actually working on a short barrell carbine chambered in 7.62. im not downing ak's at all , but im not a huge fan anymore. but when you hear one of those things go off, you sure as hell will have your head down. its got such a distint, evil sound to it. Mr. taliban would barley flinch if he heard an m4 or m16 go off, not until we opened up on him with the m240's. but as dyeing goes, since SE is all black i was gonna dye the entire fig, with the city stike legs of course, just straight up black. but im worried that the texture from the waist wont match the smoothness of the new legs. any ideas?
