Paintball Pistol Turned Sniper Rifle
January 7, 2014 by James Hobson 12 Comments
There’s a huge price discrepancy between paintball pistols and paintball sniper rifles. So the [Fresh-Prints-of-3D] decided to print himself an sniper upgrade kit.
He started with the classic Tippman 98 Custom pistol , which is a tried and true industry standard when it comes to reliable paintball guns. Using Sketchup he designed a side loading hopper adapter, a fixed stock, a magazine adapter, various brackets, and even a bipod fore-grip. He then printed the parts out at his local hackerspace; Innovatrix Labs, which is in Northeastern Pennsylvania. A Portabee 3D printer was used for some of the first prototypes but the final parts were all printed on a large MendleMax2 which has a build area large enough for the entire fixed stock!
The best part? He’s only been using SketchUp for a few months. Once the design and build is completely finalized he might release it under a CC license.
It just goes to show that 3D printers are really breaking down various markets of overpriced plastic components — 3D printers only print trinkets? Pfft.

Ööh tota... ehdotatko siis että tulevaisuuden taistelijan henk koht aseena on värikuulapyssy? Ei mahda ruutiaseissa käytettäviksi sopivat, kestävät materiaalit olla ihan vielä 3D-printattavissa.
En ehdota, vaan laiton sen tuohon koska kyse on kuitenkin siitä että printatut aseet ovat tulleet markkinoille, ja säätämällä saadaan hyvinkin mielenkiintoisia projekteja aikaiseksi ilman, että aseseppää tarvitsee vaivata.
No se on kyllä totta, että nykyiselläkin teknologialla voitaisiin varmaankin 3D-printata monia osia jotka eivät joudu kaikkein kovimpien voimien kanssa tekemisiin. Tukki, mahd pistoolikahva ja etutukki nyt ainakin.
http://www.defensereview.com/desert...pup-anti-materielsniper-riflecarbine-systems/Desert Tech (DT), formerly Desert Tactical Arms (DTA), just released a couple of press releases on the brand new DT MDR (Micro Dynamic Rifle) and MDR-C (Micro Dynamic Rifle-Compact?) multi-caliber, modular semi-auto bullpup combat/tactical/assault/battle rifle/carbine systems with ambidextrous controls and forward eject.
The ultra-cool rifles allow up to five (5) calibers, possibly (but not necessarily) including 5.56mm NATO (5.56x45mm NATO)/.223 Rem., 7.62mm NATO (7.62x51mm NATO)/.308 Win., .300 AAC Blackout (300BLK), and 6.8 SPC (6.8x43mm SPC), but this is just conjecture at this point, based on the rifles' respective light weights of 7.12 – 7.5 lbs. We don't know the calibers, yet, nor do we know whether or not select-fire/full-auto variants will be offered.
