Bren Gun

Post by BattleBuddy »

The other day I looked at the AK-47 tutorial and thought it was immense. I am making a WW2 movie and I want to make a Bren Gun prop. I have printed the AK47 18mm Main body.

I have used that for the top bit of the Bren but I need help on doing the rest of the gun. I will be putting pictures in to show you what it looks like. Please help.

hmm... I'll have to think about this one. The body from the AK should work, with some modifications, which I will go into detail later, once I have looked over the two weapons side by side

::UPDATE::

Alright, first, I would move the mechanism that holds the magazine in to the top, and lengthen it about two inches. THEN put a large handle on the top rail to the right. THEN move the barrel to the top rail, and lengthen it by about five inches. put a bipod on the bottom rail. The stock of the AK-47 should pass a cursory inspection.

Sorry I can't give you scematics or planning drawings of it, but really, it's your gun, I'm just giving you some pointers

The problem is I am real low on money and me and my friend have just about enough money to film it, I mean we havn't got any of the proper uniforms infact it is pretty much like spielberg when he was a kid. So most of the things must be made.
