Very neat. Do you have any cutaway or how they would work/function internal drawings? You said that you "worked out all the little details". Anyways good job on your weapon visions and visuals. Really awesome job!! I hope "They" let you release the stuff you were talking about on the board. Do you know how the Wasp pistol was supposed to function with the selector? How does it cycle the cylinder on Auto?

re: Avatar Weapons & Guns
He said that the inspiration came from the HK LMG11 and the MRC (seen in Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter video game).

re: Avatar Weapons & Guns
OK now I know who he is, I saw "Ghost in the Shell". I have a few of the DVDs. I also got a model of the helicopter gunship from that series.
The HK LMG11 was started in/around 1970 so was before MS guy (he would of been 9). So he was probably influenced by HK's designs. Although FN's P90 might have been influenced by some of his stuff. The curved hand grips on the P90 were revolutionary and futuristic for the time but I'd have to compare dates of MS's drawings (I did see that he does have some in the drawings in an above post with that type of hand grips) and dates he drew them with the date of the P90's creation (FN was influenced in the P90's creation from the American Hill SMG (the action thought up in 1948) and M. Johnson's 5.7mm Spitfire ammo from the late 50s/60's).
As for the MRC, it was designed around 2005 for the US Army's Future Warrior program and may have been rolled into the Lightweight Small Arms Tech program. I have no idea on the influence of it's conceptual design (although there was a bonus DVD that came with one of the Ghost Recon games that did talk about it), other than the Army was looking into something new and revolutionary.

re: Avatar Weapons & Guns
Hello all, been lurking here for a while but I finally joined up to share work on my latest build: the monster (49"!) AVR-30 door-gun.
(I've also got a discussion of this going in a thread on the PVC-BBC)
a rough composite based on the reference pictures I could find:
barrel shroud after the first day:

Thanks! Yep, it's going to be all from scratch. I just got the barrel and flash-hider built, and got the plans for the stock-layers printed off yesterday.

Why don't you start a build thread so this one isn't derailed.
Looks like a great project!
