Is there anyone out there who has been looking for a way to make the mechanism for the firearms the UNSC uses? I have and i think this thread could help everyone make slightly better props that could possibly work closely to the one in the video game
How so? are you looking to make a functioning prop, like an Air Soft gun, or are you looking to make a fictional guide for how to disassemble/perform maintenance on the halo weapons? or make a "see through" or partially disassembled/cutaway display prop?
Ive been doing some research and the closest match to the halo SOCOM ODST pistol is the glock 17 it bears the most resemblance and if you scale the parts to the right size then you could in turn have the parts for the ODST pistol
By getting hold of a glock 17 and a replica of the halo odst pistol you could compare the sizes and see how big they are to each other.
Then you could have a cutaway look of the glock 17 and halo odst pistol then compare where the parts should go and how much bigger or smaller they need to be.
But the only problem for me right now is getting the glock 17s parts to compare to the SOCOM odst pistol.
While the 1911 is the most basic of handguns the odst pistol and the standard pistol in the game both have an integrated hammer and are more complex than the 1911
