Half-Life 2 Functional AR2 (aka OSIPR or Pulse Rifle)

[ANTALIFE]

Here is a passion project I have been slowly working on since 2012, and only recently has it started to take actual shape. The project is a rifle from my long time favourite video game Half-Life 2 called the Overwatch Standard Issue Pulse Rifle (OSIPR), however in the community it is more commonly referred to as the Pulse Rifle or the AR2

Here I will log some quick snapshots of my AR2 adventure, for more info you can always follow my blog: ANTALIFE's BLOG

Have I ever built an AR2 before? No, but an AR3? Sure, plenty of times.
All joking aside, this build will be EPIC! Nice to see it animated as well!

Holy heck man, I had no idea you were updating this thread throughout the year! You should consider posting when you update it, that way we get notifications.

Ah righto, like posting a new thread? Or is there some other way to update you guys?

I think you just have to post in the same thread, instead of editing your first post.

That's what I had in mind, although I don't have a problem if you want to just add to your first post, but also replying to this thread summarising what's been done. It just helps us follow along and allows others to find your thread more easily

Cool progress. But ya, just reply to your own thread here and we get notified to check out the progress.

Gotcha, thanks for the help everyone
