While preparing the trigger mechanism, I noticed the following:

When Adam discovered the Magura lever (and Melissa later on the correct lever), he assumed it was a brake lever due to the fact that you can see a hole on its left side in the "The Risk Always Lives" documentary:

But in ...

So I got my parts out of storage (weaponry unrelated). ;)

Man, I forgot how little space there is inside of this thing...

And I already got the DreamHAT+ radar module. Now if some nutbag wanted to put this in the top part of the Kango, he'd have to take a hacksaw to a ...

Hi there!

A few weeks ago, users necronom and punkmarine posted this thread with the videos of the working (really working!) Aliens Motion Tracker made by RobSmithDev , with the DreamHAT+ radar module to detect motion up to (theoretically) 15m.


I immediately knew I needed to build one as well ...

Thanks for posting this!

Sooo… is anyone else going to do this? The creator has a discord server, I joined and there‘s already somebody who apparently is modding his real parts motion tracker for this.
I‘ll do the same once I‘m done with my Smartgun, but I hope for some more builders to join in as ...

So at some point I had the stock and barrel vent made from 40x40x3mm steel tube, as the screen-used ones were. I used the fantastic plans by Stefan Otto aka Bugstomper.

The raw steel parts were awesome, but the stock was a very tight fit over the upper receiver, I ...

Not quite done yet, but getting there.
Once again, my 3D printer proves invaluable, I printed a template so that I could push the hanger against the sander at the right angle and protect the rest of the hanger. Worked like a charm. Will sand the last part with the Dremel, but it takes ages since the ...

So one of the first parts after the Smartgun and the Kawasaki hangers I managed to source was the Kawasaki switch with the red button. It's actually pretty easy to find. However, unlike others, I was never so lucky as to find a "new old stock" version. Normally, most of the white writing is gone ...

I love the new forum, and in the spirit of improvement, this is a list of things I noticed while posting my build threads:

- The search function is a bit useless. When I search for "Smartgun" or "Pulse Rifle", it says:
"The following words in your search query were ignored because they are too ...

So one important question is: did they drill through the MG42 receiver or not? It may look obvious that the Kawasaki struts are attached directly to the receiver, but the image of the MG42 prior to restoration doesn't seem to show any additional holes drilled into it.

Also, since the GMG42 was ...

I saw that Sidewinder had made a great muzzle for the Smartgun and had him make one for me. Unfortunately, I was stupid when trying to use a special finish on it and I pretty much broke it... :-(

Since I had to revise my muzzle anyways and also found a local CNC place, I had them machine a ...
