The gator series stops here, this is the Gator LX complete with a tight bore barrel, and a mock silencer made from 3/4 pipe and other addons, i will get a red dot soon, has a 11/2 chamber, fires ab out 170 feet at 300-450fps 6mm bbs, I used a little hop up chamber in side it.

While it does look very nice, I really have no idea what it is, considering that you barely included any details. It would be appreciated if you either added some more information or linked to your past creations (I assume this was an improvement rather than a new design?).

I think he meant a contrast from the gun before and the new improved one.

Looking good, a flat black paintjob would make it look even better :)

That looks cool. When I saw it before I was thinking it would look good if you added some real MG looking features.

I'm thinking of building a similar type gun for airsoft BB's to build a version of the "shoot the star" game at the carnivals.
And give them to relatives as gifts because a few of them have pool tables and dart boards already. (the old shoot the star game bbmg looked like a tommy gun).

I do think it would look better in black now though, if you're going for an
m-16 theme.

actually I was going for some exotic hybrid of an M-16 and some sniper rifle :) The whole thing is about 4.3 foot long, yeah I may paint the white parts black, but the green stays i say the green and black look good together, and blends in where I live.

The new stock and mag looks nice, but you should add some more paint.
Green+black+white looks not so good.
Paint the white stuff black or green.
Or the black stuff white :D
