RafenRazer Posted August 28, 2008 Author Share Posted August 28, 2008 dunno depends how easy it is, i was think just a tech marine for starters.. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/144476-bulpup-bolter/#findComment-1674423 Share on other sites More sharing options...
LucasLAD Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Looks like a simple magazine/grip swap problem is going to be getting that to fit into a marines static bolter pose.

gil galed Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 problem is going to be getting that to fit into a marines static bolter pose. that bit will be the killer, i think that unless the arms are bent perfectly it will make them look odd, lots of sculpting perhaps?

RafenRazer Posted August 28, 2008 Author Share Posted August 28, 2008 fear not, i just came up with an answer, swap the grip position as necessary (or not at all us a hand instead ... ) the real hard part is the magazine as it degradess easily. solved this with a drum magazine form the scout bikers box. the postion is a bit tighter if you got for the static postion, but it works.. uploadng pics soon..

Bigger-than-Jesus Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 I'd do that myself If I could get a marine to hold it Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/144476-bulpup-bolter/#findComment-1675825 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disruptor_fe404 Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 I'm working on a bullpup bolter myself as well, but the problem of actually holding it without major repositioning of the arm is a significant roadblock. The ammo drum you've used doesn't quite help with this, but if you solve this problem, I'd love to see how! EDIT: It occurs to me it'll work fine if we can find or make a 'ring' magazine instead of a drum magazine.

RafenRazer Posted August 30, 2008 Author Share Posted August 30, 2008 atm this bolter is meant to be stuck to the leg of a future tech marine...or given a strap... but if you want to use it on a standard marine i have 2 suggestions; 1: reloading pose, it would look alot less awkward. 2: use a standard magazine and have the marine firing his weapon at an angled (at the griping hand, use the other hand for something else, great for fancy true grit models i would think) version of the standard "static" pose, if my head is screwed on right it would look like his firing it form the hip or just about to... 3: fail all the above you can place the grip on top of the bolter. This would solve any position problems but like the above it leaves one arm free. Or You could use an old heavy bolter arm for a second grip for two hands...

13skullz Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 try having them hold it like a gangster to a tommy gun aka arm = over gun :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/144476-bulpup-bolter/#findComment-1676686 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will of the Emperor Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 how about a split clip at the back? (like the 1 on the pintle mount strom boltor with all the new rhino varients) the holding arm could go between the clips Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/144476-bulpup-bolter/#findComment-1684047 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maligoare Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Azrael of the Dark Angels has a bulpup design combi-plasmagun. Perhaps pictures of that from a different angle could help with how to hold a bulpup bolter.

Shortsonfire79 Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 Yours is really good! Yours is a lot cleaner...not including the paint.. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j276/shortsonfire79/MentorBullpup.jpg http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j276/shortsonfire79/IMG_1344-1.jpg But for the holding the gun problem, I was going to have the guy holding it in his left hand, by the grip, and pointing or doing something with the his right.

Metal Fingered Villain Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 That magazine should be back farther, there is no way you could get a hand in their comfortably and fire.

Shiodome Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 it wouldn't take much work to cut the bolter just behind the trigger, and extend the length of the bolter by bulking it out with plasticard http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a396/r3c/IMG_1344-1.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/144476-bulpup-bolter/#findComment-1716317 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortsonfire79 Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 The magazine isn't supposed to be back farther. I dunno where the pic came from, but probably from the Imperial Weapons book (or whatever its called) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/144476-bulpup-bolter/#findComment-1716690 Share on other sites More sharing options...
