Ok, so here's my idea. Being a guy who likes to play tactical based scenario games, and also a SAW Gunner in the US Army, I came up with the bright idea of making a SAW Mag. I know it will have to be Warp fed, and I will need to do a lot of designing to make the body useful, but here's the basic idea for it.
1. Make a shell for a Mag that resembles a SAW. Right down to the drum attachment. To do this, I was thinking of using some type of steel stock, and welding all of the pieces together, so I can remove my mag when I want to make life easier on cleanup and maint.
2. Fabricate a drum that is a hopper. Plastic and a 12V Revvy guts are going to be my parts. I know this already because I will make that work. Not too much there.
3. Fabricate a bracket that goes UNDER the front of the trigger assembly to hold the Warp. I rarely put my hands under the trigger guard anywhoo, so that's some good space to use. Another reason for locating it there is because I plan on having the buttstock removable to insert and remove the Mag, so this way I don't have too many moving parts on the shell of the marker.
So, any scenario players out there think I'm nuts for doing this? Anyone at all? Feel free to drop ideas or warnings in here. Any and all help would be greatly appriciated. Also, any technical help ideas on running the warp feed and output lines would be extremely helpful.
Thanks folks,

P.S. In the Army, I only use my SAW..no musket of an M-16/M-4 for me. :shooting:
