I can only call it THE S.T.F.U.

Small Terminal, Fighting Unit
...what did YOU think it stood for?

Here's two mildly reworked MP7's:









Note the articulated grip: It goes up and down in a straight line, while the gun itself moves through an arc.

1: FIRE button (index finger).
2: MAIN ignition.
3: SPIN button (thumbs).
4: ARM toggle (heli-style,wheee!)
5: PRIME ammo button (pre-feeds ammodrives).
6: Voltage Monitor.
7: VM 9v batt dock.
8: 12v automotive relay.
9: Twin 18v power packs.
10: NEC mini relay (auto-runs ammodrives when firing).
11: Power connector for ammodrives.
12: Ammodrive umbilical connector.
NOT SHOWN 13: ammodrives.
Letters T, U, are the barrel drive motor connectors.
D, E, are airsoft gearbox connectors.
What looks like random colors of wire is color-coded:

This all sits into a custom ground unit with room for everything shown, the power packs included.

The inner powerplant and how they mount up.

Three weeks of design and test, two weeks of build. That's full-time days.
It is truly the only one on the PLANET, not to be duplicated, ever.

Now how much should I have gotten for it?

Thanks!!
It runs the motors at a rock-steady 9volts. Multiply ROF x 2.
He says NOBODY wants to face it twice.
Made from two, spankin' new, Echo1 MP7's.

Of ALL the airsoft guns I've ever made, this one is my baby.

And I had to put it into a box (because it never was mine, he paid in advance), and wave goodbye.

Sometimes, you can't put a price on something...and other times, you shouldn't. I MISS THIS GUN!!!!

I sold it based on this one proposed 3D render. I had NO IDEA what it would become when I took the contract.

I would think most of it would have been dependent on your time/labour. How valuable is your free time? and was it more work than play? I would say at least 2 thousand plus the cost of parts.

Aww too bad they're just MP7's

That could be up-scaled pretty nicely with some V6 gearboxes

It weighs a ton already! Scaled up, it just gets harder to move.

But a good idea....hmmm

Think of the madness you could unleash with at 300ish FPS with a high-speed setup

Look up Keeper, nepa-airsoft. Keeper has five or six of my creations now. He's gotten almost everything I've made recently, come to think of it...

I think it was designed to look gritty and used.
could you imagine what this would be if you built it with 2 of the actual airsoft miniguns?

i purchased plans for the BIG minigun while you were still in business and thought about doing it in a36 steel... but first i'll have to scale down the dimentions as it ridiculously too big as-is... i want a "regular" size mini... probably steel-made
