Anyone have any ideas what I can make this into I was thinking panzerschreck but it might be a tad difficult, I purchased this a day ago it should be here tommorrow also I bought a 48 rd mad bull shell and a speed loader so hopefully itll be worth my money. cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250004047281&sspagename=ADME:L:RTQ:US:1Just scroll down to see the pic its the launcher. Im not sure how to post in pics so I gave you the ebay link.

you'd have to add the outside body of the 'shrek and use the launcer for the internals.and with the mad bulls....watch and make sure that your ball bearings dont fall out...this seems to be a problem with these rounds( i own several) and all but one of mine are down for this reason.i used them for my M18 57mm recoiless.

I have had good luck with the Madbulls. Deepfire and such never worked out for me though John.

I agree with Dan on this. I have had tough luck with virtually all of the Mosscart type grenades to the degree that they generally just haven't been worth the trouble. With that said I've had great luck with MADBULL brand mosscarts and recommend them highly. A Panzerschrecht was a fairly big weapon. Though loosley based obn the US Bazooka iyt was 88mm so it was fairly large in circumfrence. That's good in that it will easily house your inner workings. Keep in mind it will be bulky and obvious in skirmish play.
I would think a Panzerfaust would be a more logical AT choice and Dan has built a fairly authentic and functional design as has my son. Ours are powered by full CO2 cylinders and shoot a nerf holwer rocket about 130 yards.

I'm pretty sure it's called dunklgarb. I know you can get it from Tamiya but they name might be diferent, testors also makes a color called Afrika Tan that is quite close.

testors sac bomber tan spray paint is excellent, but you can even go lighter or darker. the germans painted almost everything tan late in the war, there is also a dark green they used VERY rarely, the kind thats often on the mess tin and spare barrel cariers for the mgs. just get sac bomber tan ! -Gordak

I thought there was a light green too. I do know that some did have camo painted on them. 198.144.2.125/MG42/FULL/schreck2.jpg (no, thats not me, this is just a google find) How does the airsoft launcher load? Is it from the bottom, or of a break-open type, such as the M79? Edit: I was reading one of my WWII weapons books and found the measurements for a Panzerschreck: Calibre: 88mm ( 3.46in.) Weight in action: 9.5kg (20.9lbs) Barrel length: 1.638m (64.48in)

in this sport there is very little secondary armament,(i.e. crew served weapons bazookas,mines,grenades,mortars,recoiless rifles,etc.),that is not homemade.most airsoft manufacturers and players are only interested in selling a primary weapon and it's accessories.as for that 'shrek in the pic.....isn't it done in ambush pattern camo?

Odinance tan was the base color for everything in the later half of the war, If u look at the picture howitzer posted, it has the typical 3 color scheme, DunkleGelb base (ordinance tan) and then ox blood (dark red-brown) and the german green painted to create a cammo effect. This was comon on german tanks late in the war, but it was always painted tan first. Why howitzer didnt see the tan in the picture is beyond me.
This is very basic knowledgeoorz.
Ambush pattern is different, its got dots of differnt colours thruought. Alot like the SS pea pattern.
German stuff Generally went like this Grey late 1942-43 ordinance tan got sprayed over the grey in a camo patten 1943 is ordinance tan 1943-44 the tan gets the addition of german green in a camo pattern 1944-45 The three color scheme becomes dominant. VERY late in the war some very unusual colors and camos came out. The there is an ambush pattern that uses little bone shapes instead of dots!! -Gordak

I did spot the tan, I guess my post just has some awkward sentance placement. What I ment was that I thought that there was a secondary light green production color.
Sorry for the confusion.

we were pretty careful to keep our distance from each other through out the entire event, in a clearing that thing would have really scary, when your arcing shots between bushes at 20 yards like we were, it probably wouldn't work. That'll be really cool for objective games. Espescially, since you only have one shot.

*OFF TOPIC!!!! I found a model of a Nacht Jager. It was one of the late war strange camos the Germans used. Gordak might've mentioned this. (note: The gas mask container was used as a battery holder)
