Stuff That's Up!
Mood:
happy
Little something I didn't post was the fact that I was working on the M1A1 Bazooka. Reason? I worked on it straight through for a week and finished it an hour before I left for the game. Here it is. As close to the real one as I could get. Had a little leak but nothing that ruined its performance. Its a little heavy, probably around 25lbs. I can tell ya one thing, the german tanks were pissed at me! I might make another for next year and piss them off twice as much.

STUFF THAT'S DONE!
Mood:

Ok. 4 - WW2 "Hedgehog" Beach Obstructions. Complete! WW2 Satchel Charge Simulator. Complete! Pics are in the equipment page. I'll put up a video of the satchel charge just as soon as I get some free time. I've been busy lately. A big change from being layed off.

Hedgehog! It'll probably be done later today. Why? Because I can. That's why. And i had some plywood lying around. And I was bored. And they look cool. I'll have it at D-Day.

What's Going On
Mood:

This is a WW2 sachel charge. If you seen Windtalkers, you'll know what I'm talking about. Mine doesn't actually explode, but it sure sounds like it. It runs on Co2 or compressed air and has a pull cable "igniter" similar to the WW2 version. I've built and tested the prototype and now I'm waiting for the parts to come. I'm gonna try to figure a way to make it blow smoke when it goes off. I've talked to them, and after I demonstrate it to the people at Skirmish, they will probably let me use it to blow stuff up at the games.

What's Up!
Mood:

Topic: What's going on?
It's about the end of Febuary and here is what I have been doing all winter.
The BAR has been fixed, repainter, and is ready to rock!
I'm making head way on the M1A1 Bazooka. It's gonna be heavy. I like it!
I picked up some ammo for it too! 28 rounds! Gotta love ebay! The ones with the whistlers would of been better but the only place you can get them in England for $7 a pop plus $12 shipping on each. SCREW THAT. These cost enough. I expect to NOT get most of them back. Anyone wanna ingame retreiver job? Volunteers always welcome!
Also I finally started working on my "TRUE" Sniper Ghillie Suit. Once I'm done, I'll start in a Stalker Ghillie Suit. I picked up a kit from Ghilliesuits.com while I was at the sportsmans show in Harrisburg, PA earlier this month. Saved $25! It's the Next generation lightweight suit that uses polypropylene string insted of twine or burlap.
Buy a kit and build it yourself like a true sniper.

The Next RSG Project has been anounced!
Mood:
irritated
Topic: What's going on?
My biggest and most expensive project yet. A scale replica of a Sherman tank. Specifically an M4A3 (105mm) at 5/8 scale. I'm tired of seeing a minivan with a hole cut in the roof. That is not a tank! It's a minivan with a hole in the roof! This isn't going to be easy, or cheep. The total cost of building the BAR was ???. This is going to cost $1500-$2000 for the gas powered golf cart alone. Then I need to extend the frame, build the body, and finally, the pain in the ass turret. It will have 3 markers (probably Tippmann 98 ACT's), a 2" anti-tank breach load cannon, and possibly a paint (flame) thrower! To top it all off, their is the problem of the $1100 trailer I need to haul it. If you haven't figured it out by now, I have lots of paintball stuff and because of that, No $. Their will also be a little (Loud)surprise when the tank is hit. In 1995, Bret Golihew built a Sherman "Easy 8" Jumbo for Action Creek Paintball. It looks good, but mine will be better. If you will excuse me, I have to go look for change under the cushions.
DUE TO UNCONTROLLABLE EVENTS, I'M GOING TO HAVE TO POSTPONE THE TANK FOR NOW. INSTED, I WILL BE CONSTRUCTING 1 POSSIBLY 2 M1A1 BAZOOKAS TO USE FOR ANTI-TANK. AS OF RIGHT NOW, THE MAIN CANNON OF THE TANK IS BASICALLY FINISHED AND SITTING IN MY BASEMENT. I HAVE TESTED IT AND IT HAS A 320' RANGE WITH A NERF POCKET VORTEX. THE BAZOOKAS WILL HAVE APROXIMATLY THE SAME RANGE.

What's going on?
Pics and videos are up. Half of the pics that I took didn't come out good because of one screwed up setting on the camera, but the ones that did were great. Not a lot of video footage. I spent a lot more time playing (or sleeping) this year. There is one funny one. Check them out.

The BAR is near completion. I'm not going to post any new pics till it is. I destroyed the valve body in the Tippmann trying to fix a leak so I had to buy a new one. It should be here in a couple of days. I have put up some pics of me in the paratrooper uniform. I was using the M3 Grease gun Tippy that day so it's in the pics. Knock on wood, I'll have the BAR for next Sundays practice.

The majority of the site had been updated. There are a few pics and videos that I need to put on still, but I'm workin on it. The equipment page has been completely redesigned. I got the grenade filler workin and now have a crate of 24 grenades ready for D-day. And finally, I got my tanks hydrotested so I should be good to go.

I have mounted the rear sight and the butt plate o the BAR. I'll put up a pic once I mount the rear swivel plate. The next step is to work on the trigger, saftey, and the front sight. After that, just the gas tube and tube mount. The end is near! I got my M3 Grease gun kit for the 98C. I broke it already. The hole for the barrel wasn't cut right and the thin part in front cracked. Not a big deal. I also ripped off one of the stock mounts and I don't have any super glue. It isn't too bad but I still have to "finish it" like I did with the Viper kit. I'm gonna do some modifications to it so I can put on a sling. I'm gonna have to run to Lowes.

I know it don't look like it but I have been working on it. I finally mounted the rear stock. The gas tube is still free hanging because I'm waiting for a chunk of aluminum to make the block. I did get the swivel, granted it's not a BAR swivel but it will work just fine. I ordered some real BAR parts (Yes I found a place that will sell parts, for real this time, I swear!) I got them today BUT, I ordered the wrong ones. I'm a dumb ass, I know. Of the right parts, I have the front sight assembly. I have to modify it because it wasn't meant for a paintball barrel, but if you know me, that wont be a problem.

I did some updating to the site. I'm in the middle of a complete rebuild of the equipment page. Right now I need to haul out all my gear and retake pictures of everything. I tried to make paint grenades today. I was able to make 3 and in the process, paint my driveway white.
Thats the grenade filler by the way. I found out the problems and I should be able to fix them. Funny thing is, It worked perfect when I built it. Nothing like!having a gallon of paint in your driveway.

I now have my entire WW2 paratrooper uniform complete. 82nd 505th Corpral. Did some work on the BAR. Tomorrow, I'm gonna fix the "work" I did today. Don't ask. I'm planning on making the stocks and finishing the slide tomorrow.I have also ordered the new barrel.

not sure
Between fire training and getting things ready for work, I haven't done much on the BAR. The guide and slide are done. I need to attach the handel on the slide still. I'm on my 3rd tap, the other 2 are inside the guide and slide. I started the front stock. Had to redesgine the trigger, It should work now. Next step is to fill holes and smooth things down. Then finish and attach the stocks, trigger, and gas tube. That will finish the majority of it. Then I'll just have little stuff like the saftey, butt stock parts, sights, swivels, and decrotive body parts. Maybe tuseday.

I'm getting their. The barrel looks too short doesn't it. Overall, the barrel is 22 3/8" long. Rusty's Paintball Gear has a 23" Spyder thread barrel. With a Spyder to 98 adapter thats about 25 1/4". Just about right. The 21" barrel has that crome part on it that just pisses me off. I guess I could just deal with it. But anyways, I'm making some pretty good progress on it. The barrel is sitting lower than I want it to (lower than it should be) because the design of the paintball gun. I couldn't do anything with it because of that rod that connects the bolts. I finished the trigger guard/mag guide. I also finished the bump on the back. Next, it's on to the charging handle as you can see by the tape. I've contacted Ohio Ordenance again because, the replica being as screwed up as it is, I want to make sure things are as close as possible. These guy have been a big help.

Topic: What's going on?
Last night I went off of probation a the fire station. I now have yellow tags. The difference? Not much, but I'm no longer on probation. Next step is green tags. Once I earn those, I'll be able to go into the fire. Hopefully it'll be around June once I'm done with my class.
