Victory Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 Looks like something that you'd see SWAT using. Definetally an interesting project...kudos! -Vic Link to post Share on other sites
cafemondo Posted April 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 Toska, no Ive not fired at the head and richocheted at myself, it is where I live, and it is very nice when its sunny, hardcore when its cold wet and bogging. thanks for the video comment, its sat in the shed unused, Im still waiting for offroad wheels, its also got another purpose coming up which Im very excited about. Victory, the signs give it that sort of police look, incidentally I wanted to put a Police warning on it but there so hard to find. So, back on topic, body mounted support platform. Prototypes just 5 minutes ago done, theres still lots of oversized and incorrect bolts and theres a ton of aluminium to carve out and refine but the prototypes finished and functions as far as Im concerened. Refining of the straping system and some padding here and there is going to be next. Right side has extra spring tensioning for the m249, left side is for the sniper cradle. Shall I go and have a fashion parade and post some pics up or go to bed? Link to post Share on other sites
ianhaz Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 Pictures of you wearing it please? Looks a little bit on the heavy side Link to post Share on other sites
cafemondo Posted April 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 Yes, its a bit heavy, most of it is aluminium though but will need further cutting and modding. Heres some pics, uploading onto the tube at the moment so its a bit sloooow all round. Looks like I can lay support on the one side and snipe with the other. Ideally two stripped down paras would be my ideal choice for the total chaos support this could bring. I can only afford one at the moment. Youtube still processing Link to post Share on other sites
Victory Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 That would *fruitcage* freak me out if I saw that coming towards me. -Vic Link to post Share on other sites
PlasticMag Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 Wow. That looks utterly useless once you leave the realm of airsoft. It also looks mildly... BDSM with that gas mask. Link to post Share on other sites
BoE.Solidius Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 "LETS ROCK!" Vasquez kicks major *albatross* in that movie. Try mounting this to some sort of thick lengthy belt, then strap a nice SAW in there and vwala! Link to post Share on other sites
wheaties Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 That's sweet I'd probably sh*t myself if i saw some one with that. Seems like your mobility would be greatly reduced with that but i suppose if you had 2 support guns on there who would need to move any way defiantly an original and cool project keep the updates coming Link to post Share on other sites
cafemondo Posted April 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 And heres the clip. It is fairly unwieldy but, meh, you know. Comments on BDSM noted, could think of 'different' attachments that would make this even more interesting - ROFLMAO Lets come together - oh yeah - lol Link to post Share on other sites
TerranCmdr Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 Sweet mother... I do believe you have something there. Looks like fun to use! All I can think about though is how cool it would be to have a steadicam. Link to post Share on other sites

neoptolemus Posted April 24, 2008 Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 Awesome! Now you need some cool exoskeleton legs to complete it! Link to post Share on other sites
Meathead316 Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 whoa, looks pretty cool, different, but cool. and im sorry but i have to agree with plasticmag, you do look a big BDSM, but if i saw u walking up to me like that i wouldnt be likely to say it to ur face! of course you could have saved urself a lot of time and money building the thing if u joined a gym, worked on them other "guns" and took some roids, ud be able to dual weild m249s no problem then Link to post Share on other sites
cafemondo Posted April 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 I know, BDSM's great isnt it Cost so far has been steel/ali & bolts - £22, belt and gunbag - £14 = £36. Cheaper than roids! Time has been about 10-15 hours workshop, 10 hours running around finding bits and impossible to calculate the mental thinking time. I used an old manweb engineers belt and the straps off one of those cheap ebay hk gunbags. Anyone got some suggestions on a well padded webbing system that I could modify to use instead? Thanks to everyone who saw the vid, managed to get 4 honors for it that day, I did put it in the political ######s category though and for some reason BDSM looking dudes with machine guns get more hits than politicians. ha ha ha ha ha now thats a funny fact of life Link to post Share on other sites
Nihilum Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 What on Earth is BDSM? Link to post Share on other sites
boxmag Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 I think it's be better that you type BDSM into google or wikipedia than have any of us explain it. DON'T DO IT AT WORK THOUGH!! As for the platform I'd think it'd be more useful to use with a larger gun, to provide support for standing and firing. Something like a .30 cal or a M60. Other than that, good work.

HeartBreaker1317 Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 Cafemondo: Tell me where you skirmish so I can make certain I'm on your side if I'm ever there! That rig is incredible, beyond my abililty to describe it with the superlatives I have ((Which are many and varied)). I'd love to see it with a pair of M60s as previously suggested; imagine Animal Mother crossed with Vasquez! And as to the BDSM bit: give it more spikes and leather and I'd agree, however, now it just looks industrial, almost cyberpunk-esque. Tres cool! Link to post Share on other sites
starfury Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 awesome rig - if you wanted a bit more flexibility, could you mount two arms together end on end, like the mounts used in ALIENS? i noticed how nobody had a picture of a two-stage steadycam arm... Link to post Share on other sites
my_plague_666 Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 anyone think cafemondo should build one of these for catman to rig his GBB M2 up to? Link to post Share on other sites
ilikeshootingstuff Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 is anyone else feeling some hydraulic leg supports too? just make a ###### Mech? lol that is creepy man! Link to post Share on other sites
