Ghost in the Shell "9-Weapon"

[Mike J.]

I'm happy with my dimensions; we're working off the same blueprints after all. Thanks.

Here you go Mike!

The receiver on the 9-Weapon swivels up on the front hinge. This makes maintenance and upkeep of the inner workings extremely simple. Changing out the barrel is also performed with the weapon in this state.

Gun opens up with this as the hinge. When fully opened, a stopper engages with a click to hold the receiver in the open position.

Keep 'em coming!

 

[Mike J.]

Awesome – thank you very much!

Drawing up the profile of my grenade in Illustrator, which I will then export as an AutoCAD *.DXF, to be imported by Solidworks and turned into 'solid' parts.

This will be a four-part assembly: The primer, the shell body, the forward body, and the front end. If I play my cards right, I can put electronics in this...

Further updates tonight.

Here's today's progress.

Bit the bullet and ordered some small LEDs. We'll see If I can cram two inside and make it work....

Here's another short one for our mysterious benefactor.

I would seriously like to know what that wheel Is for..

 

[Mike J.]

Fire mode selector. Zero for safe, 1 for single shot, infinity for full auto.

 

[Sean]

Cool. thanks mike. I guess having the fire control there. could have advantages and possibly some disadvantages..

 

[Mike J.]

The FAMAS rifle has a similar 'swivel' fire control switch in front of and above the trigger.

[Sean]

guess I'm old fashion. I prefer mine on the side using the thumb for selection..

 

[Mike J.]

Here's the key: the P90 has a selector switch in a similar position. Maybe not as farfetched as I assumed.

Looks like It would be a speed advantage having It there.

A look at the insides of my grenade.

Selector


The fire selector is integrated into the front of the grip.
This means the user can operate it with their finger still on the trigger.
The selections are safe, semi-auto, and full auto.
Since this weapon has been developed for use by cyborgs, there's no burst fire mode.


Mysterious benefactor away!! The night is my wings! *Draws cloak around face*

 

[Mike J.]

Thank you, LOL

I just ordered my grenade parts, expect them around Sept. 11-15.

Given the size of my grenade, and the size of the LEDs, I don't think I can fit a switch inside it.

You rang?

Crvena Zastava Nosle CZN-M22


Official name: CZN-M22 (Crvena Zastava Nosle Model 22, Serbia-produced)
Classification: Submachine gun (However, the weapon does not use handgun rounds.
It uses specially developed cartridges that make the weapon a kind of midpoint
between assault rifles and traditional submachine guns)

 

[Mike J.]

Thanks a lot. That's interesting....

Zastava is a real firearms manufacturer in Serbia:

According to Google translate, Zastava means 'flag.'

Crvena is apparently Serbian for "Red."

Nosle does not seem to mean anything....
