Dunkis wanted someone to post his BAW, so I volunteered. Here it is.

STATS:

-Range: 25 to 35 feet.
-About 95% reliable.
-Average rate of fire.
-Quick reload. (As in, taking out a magazine and putting in a new one, not reloading an individual magazine.)
-Connector ammo. (Dark grey-orange-dark grey, OR Dark grey-orange-white rod. If you use the white rod type, it almost certainly won't break.)

Dunkis asked me to post the extended version of the mags. I prefer the standard size, however, due to their size.

Anyways, make sure to read the notes.

With the smaller size magazine, whenever i pull the ram back for the second shot the ram never hits it :(
Oct 31, 2010. 5:36 PMTheDunkis says:
Oh god. This thing just reached 2012 views. It's the death of the BAW!!
Hmm seriously though I'm considering a redo of the BAW to make it a little more modern. Anyone have any suggestions? Things I was thinking about:
-Shelled yellows?
-Charging handle similar to UMP-45 redo/shotgun concept?
-Removable magazines still or breach loading?
Etc. What are your thoughts?

i reckon if you do some of the things you just mentioned, then it wouldnt be 'basic'. however if you did another version you could do that stuff. just change the name slightly, just saying

Too bad it isn't bolt action and doesn't have the range of the ZKAR. I think I'll still build it,
Oct 24, 2010. 9:46 AMLowney says:
Well if you wan't a gun that's bolt action and shoots like a ZKAR then there is in fact an excellent alternative. It's called a ZKAR lol.

This is called "Basic", it's like a platform for building a gun.
Nov 19, 2010. 3:50 PMMace! says:
I have it built right now.
Oct 22, 2010. 10:52 AMKILLERK says:
mags don't need to fit in a pocket as long as you are wearing a belt or sling or "tool belt" sorta thing to attach/hold the mags... i have to say that the gun is pretty cool for what it is... it looks like fun to shoot anyway... i just hate that ammo type because it continually breaks but idk cool gun anyway
Aug 9, 2010. 12:41 PMTorpe says:
How many green rods does it use?
Aug 23, 2010. 4:32 AMchevy62 says:
maybe 100 not sure tho
May 26, 2010. 10:04 AMMegaMetal8 says:
any broken pieces??
Aug 3, 2010. 4:48 AMchevy62 says:
no becauses i built it it rocks.
Aug 3, 2010. 1:17 PMMegaMetal8 says:
thanks
Aug 3, 2010. 2:51 PMchevy62 says:
np just like to help out (np) = no problem.
Aug 4, 2010. 12:37 AMMegaMetal8 says:
i know what np means
Aug 4, 2010. 4:34 AMchevy62 says:
okay.
Aug 13, 2010. 1:40 PMmettaurlover says:
Yeah, it's pretty much standard slang both IRL and on teh interwebz. Intentionally spelled that way, if you couldn't tell.
Aug 21, 2010. 8:10 AMTheDunkis says:
Sorry for being late to the party but I don't get why people use things like np when they explained what it means in the same post. Then you might as well just say no problem. And really all this quick and easy way of typing should stay in texting where it is actually somewhat time consuming to type full phrases. Typing is fast enough that it wouldn't make much of a difference.
Aug 21, 2010. 10:21 AMmettaurlover says:
Exactly. Most people on the internet don't get that. I do, but I still use it from time to time if I'm hurrying to finish typing somethig because I have to go somewhere. I may have an insane words per minute for a laptop user, but even I have limits.

Should I post a pic of mine?I've got 2 magazines ^^.
Jun 13, 2008. 8:10 AMTheDunkis says:
Sorry I'm rather late but yeah I wanted to see how one would look with a mag loaded and an extra in storage just for kicks if you did take a picture or still have the gun.
Mar 30, 2010. 12:39 AMerikos kostarikos says:
I broke it, but I think I'll make it again.
It rules.
