EDIT- I had both my threads merged into one. This way all mods are under one thread.
I just received my Matrix Pulse Rifle from Evike.com. This is the third PR I have had. My first was an original G&P kit on a Tokyo Marui Thompson. I sold it and longed for another years later. I decided I would build my own with the then new China clones of the TM Thompson. I used Matt's parts for the shroud, GL, and shotgun. Metal parts were sourced from several people here on the RPF. It used the soundboard from the now defunct ReplicaFX. And yes, I sold it. And yes, years later I longed for another.
Now we have the Matrix PR, a near clone of the G&P kit at a much cheaper price. We all know about this gone so I wont bore anyone with a "review". I have some plans for this gun. Some will come quick, some will come later. I need to play with it first!
First thing anyone with this gone should do is replace the battery. The stock is an 8.4v 1100 mAH battery. I bought a Tenergy 9.6v 1600mAH battery. This will increase the rate of fire on the gun. If you're wondering what kind of difference, check out this comparison.

Of course the gun is going to get a full repaint. I'll be using Rustoleum Camouflage Olive Drab. The same I used on the one in my avatar.
First mod will be taking care of the counter window. I'm adding a smoked window to replace the clear window on the gun.
Stock-
Tinted window. This will be cut and fitted in place.
And what is it? It's the tinted T-Top from the Aoshima Knightrider model kit. I used the other one on the last PR.
And of course, the all too familiar crack on the rear shroud. There is a roll pin right under here. I suspect as they are being assembled they are being cracked.
So, stay tuned to this thread for all the mods to come. Well, that is, if you want to....
