[DarthVader2815]

So very AWRSOME !

[ZombafiedProductions]

what are the mesurments for the stock and handle?

[jacobk42]

@ZombafiedProductions google it

[ZombafiedProductions]

you're awesome, i love the gatling gun and the typewriter. Anyways, I was just wandering if you could probably make a tutorial on how to make a prop HK USP .45 . Anyhow, keep up the good work!

[jacobk42]

@ZombafiedProductions I don't generally build prop handguns because if it exists in real life then there's an airsoft version you can get for less than the cost of the materials to build one but with greater detail. Thanks for liking my videos.

[ZombafiedProductions]

@jacobk42 ok, thanks but the only problem is that airsoft guns cost around $70 for a durable one. Oh and can you make more props? I think your tuts are great but you should make more. Thank's for replying!

[jacobk42]

@ZombafiedProductions Don't worry, I definitely have more tutorials in the works, I'm just currently a little preoccupied with other video projects and school. 

[ZombafiedProductions]

@jacobk42 ok, thanks for the update!

Can you post a shopping list of something? At least with the PVC pipe's dimensions?

[jacobk42]

@TheOceanspray99 just added one to the description.

[TheOceanspray99]

@jacobk42 Thank you!!!

[jacobk42]

@TheOceanspray99 you're welcome

[TheOceanspray99]

@jacobk42 Quick question: What was the diameter of the ammo drum?

[jacobk42]

@TheOceanspray99 7 and 1/2 inches

[QuantilAlex]

Wow

[GOODTHUMPER]

another thing, how did you get the forward grip in the barrel? lol sorry about all the question, i'm trying to build one of these myself.

[jacobk42]

@GOODTHUMPER what do you mean? it's attached with hotglue, same as the rest.

[GOODTHUMPER]

@jacobk42 I mean there's like a small white piece that's sticks out from the barrel into the grip. I was just looking at it closer at 4:59 in the video. I honestly don't know what it is.

[jacobk42]

@GOODTHUMPER it's just a piece of foam

[GOODTHUMPER]

Awesome video btw. I was also wondering, would it be possible to make the drum magazine out of foam? I'd prefer to use something durable.

[jacobk42]

@GOODTHUMPER of course it's possible. i only used cardboard because i wanted a different texture and i wasn't sure how strong the Velcro would be.

[GOODTHUMPER]

how long was the PVC pipe?

[jacobk42]

@GOODTHUMPER around two feet

[dragonfablepwns]

@jackobk42 i have the same beatle's shirt as you

[DennisGenMoKai]

It is a shame that it have that low amount of views... cause i think this DIY was very simple and perfect. Even better i think then the Indymogul one

[TheCreativeBird]

Great Video!

Dude now I gotta get some foam! Because foam core isn't sandable..

[jacobk42]

@TheCreativeBird Thanks. You can find linking foam mats at any hardware store. they come in packs of 4, 2ft by 2ft sections totaling about $18. You might want a mask or respirator though because dremeling this stuff puts out a lot of dust.

Bet someone will tell you not to carry your Tommy gun out in public. Looks great but, well, you know...
