M1A1 Bazooka Prototype (Update)

[Red]

I am just confused why do we need bazookas? We aren't really going to be firing bazookas at each other are we because that sounds just a we bit dangerous. I can See Mortars but... a Bazooka... We don't have any tanks to blow up. So I doubt we need more then 1 Bazooka On allies and that would be to take out a MG42 or MG34 Position other then that its kinda useless. I mean the Bazooka looks great! But just don't see the idea in having more then one.

Who says I didnt build the flak 88 or the pak gun ? Because I dont post the whole axis arsenal for the whole world to see...doesnt mean its not there . I think you guys can figure it out... .

Saber, it is a wee bit early in production to make figure out if we will be offering it or making a how too, there are steps that are pretty hard to explain, and also are hard to do with out experience in welding and metal work.

Well Red I must say that they are all valid points, but why have a Bazooka? Well becuase we can, becuase we can build one and because we can use it. Sometimes you dont need a rhym or reason sometimes you should just set out to make something becuase you can and then figure out hwo to use it. Hell its better to have one and have nothing to use it against then to realize you need one and not have it.

Rotten ol' Fuhrer Franz is up to it again fella's. He's just trying to trick us out of improving our allied weaponry while he is secretly develping the axis' next wonder weapon. We don't NEED really any of these things but absolutely love them.

Curses! They know of the mutant sharks with lasers on their heads!! Release the Globe!

THE GERMANS HAVE 100 NEBELWERFERS WERE ALL SCREWED!!! lmao...

All operated by specially trained german shepards...but you may try to take the guns at your own risk...the dogs are trained to use 42's!

Franz

[theriseandfall]

or release the killer bees or the dogs or the dogs that when they bark they shoot bees at you! ;D

[biged]

It's all about the milsim. The more toys the better.
Set up objectives for the using the bazooka in a scenario. Hitting specific target, but make the target whereabouts unknown.
Your typical 400fps aeg can out range a grenade anyways. But the ability to shoot select rounds adds flavor to the game/scenario.

TommyGunner

TG, that's good thinking... Oh, and yes, in the near future you'll be needing one. ...

Cary - you're right, the thread was definitely going off topic (highjacked) - Let's stay on topics guys.

[TommyGunner]

Well here are a few pics of the Bazooka painted, the only thing left to add is the heat shield, which is above the stock. And I have to stain the wood.





And here is a pic with all my custome weapons, my M1903 Springfield, my M1928A1 Thompson with 20rnd mag and Drum mag, and finally the M1A1 Bazooka.



The only thign i really have left to do is buy a Madbull and I can use it in battle.

That must mean something! Lol.

[2ndranger]

Again, Wow woo wee woo....

Franz

[Ersatzjack]

Very nice indeed. Can't wait to see it in action. I think you could sell a couple of those. So Mad Bull shell - does that mean it will shoot bb's or what? What is the projectile(s)?

[Capt. Zak]

You can knock my brat eating arse off my new Fahrrad with that baby! ;D

[TommyGunner]

and I just might if I get the chance there Jeff...just kidding I wouldnt do that

Well if people want to buy some they can be made available in kits, where everything will be provided for you, you simply have to do the final assembly and finishing yourself...this way we can keep the product cost down. the Major components and things people will have a hard time doing themsels like the Welding will be done for them already. Things like painting and wrapping the wire around the tube will be left to the buyer to do, those are the time consuming parts that we dont want to do and can help lower overall cost.

Also I am not too sure if the Mad Bull shell idea will work or not, we still need one to do the testing with, it may trun otu its nto powerfull enough, but we shall report our findings when we figure out what works. Also Who knows I might just make a Panserfaust for the Germans to use....for a price of course... ;D

TommyGunner

[Ersatzjack]

Of course!!

[Gordak]

that bazooka looks a bit small, where did you get your mesurments?

[TommyGunner]

Well I know that the stock is too small and a new one will be built soon, but we found out that the tube is 50inches long, from there we guestamated on everything else, from pictures we could find. I personally think the tube looks too small also but eh...as far as Im concerned we have a bazooka that will soon work and for the prototype that is good enough for me. And from looking at your picture you posted ours actually looks the came length.

Also the sights I made are a bit big, but when your working with styreen to scratch build them its kinda hard when you dont have a pattern to work with. Oh and we will be making a new trigger guard as the one we build is mis shapen.

The next version we build will be the M1 with an electronic fireing system that will load form the back like the reall one does. Plus the M1 is easier to build as it does not have the wire wrapped aroudn the tubeand it has a box that holds all the electrical stuff in it.

Thats awesome i want one!

[YankeeDiv26]

Hmm, I'll definitely have to add one of those puppies to my ever expanding 1 man heavy weapons squad if they become avalable.

Totally off topic but, is that a paratrooper who didn't blouse his boots!!!!!!!

[Guinness]

I don't know- looks pretty close to that other picture to me.

Looks outstanding TommyG! Well done!

[2nd Bat]

I agree. It looks great. It'll be interesting to see how you create a cam to set off your madbull using the trigger in a game. The good news is it takes very very little pressure to set them off and they'll power a Nerf rocket quite nicely.

[Gordak]

I measured one, 55 inches long
