Need your thoughts about this new body design

[Mongoose]

Its hard to tell from the pics i posted but this body is not as round as appears, Also it gets fatter from the front to the back. my other 4 designs have all kinds of crazy milling involved and with this one i was trying to make something a bit simpler...and the price should reflect the design. "Before anyone asks.....i will not have any pricing until i have a prototype done"

If you dont like something about it...please feel free to post up your thoughts.....your not gonna hurt my feeling at all.....in the end this is all about putting out a great product that many will enjoy

this body will be the Syclone body and will be matched up with the Syclone rail.

Prototypes on all 5 designs will begin in about 2 weeks

I have to be honest, that I think all of them look like ***. It is like you tried to put a spoiler on a ULE body. Just don't dig them at all.

Take that with a grain of salt, cause I won't be buying any regardess...I don't do mags any more.

I'm parcial to the squrer look of #1.

nah...thats the Syclone rail.......the helium rail looks like this



Its on the bottom...the top one is the EPG rail

For some reason... when I look at these they remind me of those old ford hotrod's for some reason... I'd have to see one of these in person to give an honest opinion.

Well since you put it that way.... I didn't realize this was going to be the mate to the rail...

I would try and match the body to the rail better. Meaning I would put the angled protrusion that you have the front of the rail on the body as well... it'll add some meat yeah, but not that much. The look of that will lend itself to beefing up the feedneck/detent area as well. Maybe not match the swell on the sides, but how about at the top? Do the same on the back end as well to match the "wings" that you have on the rear of the rail.

I hope it makes sense to you....

OH and try to make the transition from rail to body as seamless as possible. So the slab side of the body like in #1 would work for that...

Cars and bikes where a very big part of the designing thoughts.....good eye

admittedly, i am completely new to mags and mag bodies, but i prefer #1, except i would remove the front dogleg angle, and replace it with a single angle up. like the factory flash hider on an old AK-47.
also, is there enough room on the bottom of the body, inside the rail ( i guess) for a single detent, rather than putting them on the sides? i'm assuming the use of a detent like a cocker or shocker or something.

Wow....looking at the poll results i am exactly where i started..............confused about which one to make

im working on some other designs.......more to come


thanks for taking the time to vote and voice your opinions

#2. The milling on the front looks like headlights. Maybe reptilian eyes.

I agree with the consensus though, they're all missing...something. Perhaps go with #2 and incorporate something that could be interpreted as "fangs" or a vehicle grill into the design right below the "eyes/headlights". If you're going for the whole "venom" theme, that might work out.
