New Proto Gun Body Need Your Design Help!!!

I like RiceRocket's and einhander619's designs.

well, i suck at Photoshop :o

Here is my concept:

Foregrip ASA
Like the Minimag, put one of these on there to give people a lot more versatility in their options; I chose a DYE foregrip in the sketch

Xtreem styling cues
Just like Honda, Toyota, BMW, etc all have a recognizable shape to their product lines, I borrowed styling features from the Xtreem on the body with simpler lines. Make the markers a family w/ echoes of the styling features of the flagship marker.

Micromag cf
I don't care much for the high rise, but do like the look of the Micro vf necks, so I swapped it out.

The body rail & Intelliframe are unchanged. Obviously AGD is looking for reduced manufacturing costs by integrating the existing body rail.

The dovetail sight feature was also unchanged on mine; I like that concept a lot.

RT Pro body rail
I would like to see the body rail uncut so that people could put the foregrip adapter & foregrip of an RT on the marker; that would be a sweet option. Same thing w/ the Pro sight rail. This would give AGD a new market for components they already manufacture as well as continuing the product line "theme"...

well presented and I like the echoing design concept. This I believe is something that would show some prestiege to the entire line of markers. Well Done.

Listen to this guy. he has said all that I feel and then some.

Except for the dye foregrip.

Oh, and HARDLINES. I'd love to see a standard hardline put on the rtpros to a vertical ASA with a quick disconnect to the valve, maybe something like the old toxic toyz hardline.

And maybe an internal cavity or body recess to run the line through the grip on the Emag, so you don't have the obnoxious hose.

if you want a tip, make a gun look like a gun. Or a marker lookl ike a marker. dont make it look like some weird organism that you found under your toilet. I know you may have some weird stuff down there TK but dont make guns that look like it. And i like the Bugs design

There are some nice bodies here.

Personally, I think the body should be integrated into the rail, even as an upgrade. It'll be easier for aftermarket cutters to custom carve the body design. I don't think it would be too much more expensive than just the body design.

Also, make the body with an interchangable breech option for a screw in barrel or a standard mag twist barrel. This could be easily done if the body and rail are integrated.

^^^^ Then they'd have to make some crazy doo hicky to get the sear out.

I can't wait for a new body to come out. I want one and I really think it will boost the populatrity of the Mag. To many people want to get cockers cause of thier cool look, and "all the Pro's use them" mentality.

**FooTemps** · 03-31-2002, 04:59 PM

My idea is to integrate the body rail into the grip frame...

**PaInTbALL zAcH** · 03-31-2002, 05:02 PM

that would make it impossible to convert old mags though

**TITAN** · 03-31-2002, 05:02 PM

i say keep the base rail seperate

soo... do we have any idea when these will be released? im getting one right after i get my ir3

. I just hope they use RiceRockets or JanssonSWE's i also really like Skirts... but i would just like to see a base rail and foregrip that flow with the body style... i would also really like to see these come stock with superbolts and intelliframes and possibly these lp retro systems ive been hearing about... also another thing i would like to see is a vert feed with angel threads so we can use the new ir3 gated feed... i would just like to say good job to everyone that has drawn up designs

tom please get back to all of us on all the stats of this new gun

It won't be impossible to convert old mags... You just take off the mag body rail and you put the gripframe with integrated body rail on...

I know how you feel Goose, had that happen to me. Sorry.

**striker** · 03-31-2002, 06:35 PM

Looking good!

einhander619, that is almost EXACTLY what I had always thought about. I thought to make an integrated body rail and breech. The breech would be the same tubular shape as it is now but the body rail would connect over the breech to secure the body together more and provide a new look. The new part could "snap" into place and "unsnap" when you need to take the gun apart to clean it. In the picture I did a 2 prong prototype but the 3prong idea seems to be very popular and I am leaning towards this idea myself any ways here is my idea along with einhander619's. *sorry but the picture colors are kind of messed up*
