Thanks, I always try to add my own touch of style to things. I started my golfball sniper about a year ago, I have yet to add a hop up, Scope, Bi-pod, and give a nice finished look. I think I will finish it before I post it

Very good job I absoolutly love the paint job and I think the sling adds a nice touch.
The curvy look of the stock is cool(were did you get those wierd elbows?)
I am looking forward to this damage video you are speaking of.

I knew somebody was going to ask about the elbows, I think its the best touch to the gun, I may have poineered the way PVC stocks look lol. I just found them while looking through an assortment.
I have yet to fill my cO2 tank and i'm looking for a cheaper source of ammo. Beetween the c02 and 12$ for 6000 bbs this gun cost like 5-10$ a min to pull the trigger but ill try to get damage shots as soon as possible

Looks like something you'd expect to find fielded by the Tau but the camo is really well done and the sight is a nice touch, kudos. Lets see some videos :)

I really like the use of a 4 way fitting instead of a T to house the block
