Chevieblazer Posted June 24, 2017 Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 I'm working on an "The Expanse" based armor. For the rifle, I'd like to use the UN/Star Helix Rifle as a base for my primary, but I can't figure out what the thing under the barrel is. It's thinner that the G36-K handguard and has some sort of meat tenderizer at the front... here are some more pics: Any ideas? Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted June 24, 2017 Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 Looks like a custom piece. Sheet metal bent to the same general shape as the handguard, punched with holes and flipped upside down. Link to post Share on other sites
shmook Posted June 24, 2017 Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 Looks like the hand guard extension for the SA80 UGL to me Edit, with some holes filled in. Link to post Share on other sites
tquilha Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 Yep. Basic G36K, with a SL8 stock, and some greeblie on the bottom of the handguard. I would find out of a Madbull XM sized GL fits in there... Link to post Share on other sites
Danke Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 Looks like a custom piece. Sheet metal bent to the same general shape as the handguard, punched with holes and flipped upside down. Yeah; punch some holes into a sheet and give it a couple bends. Or find some sort of slat wall with the holes precut and re-purpose. What it's wrapped around seems to be like a leg from a desk or shelving unit with a rubber foot giving it the look of a meat tenderizer. From watching interviews it seems like those props get chucked around a lot and as a result they're overbuilt to survive the filming. Link to post Share on other sites
