P98 Firefly mod from x7og

UPDATE 1/18/12 Will be needing a ion as of now because of the size of the 98 custom platinum.Unless i can make the noid smaller but that would be a pain in the butt.

So I have been boasting and blowing up the forums about my ideas of bullpups so I decided how to do it. A paintball marker with the body top of a P90 air soft and the bottom of a Nerf firefly.Hoping to get all items shipped to me by next 2 weeks.Then modding taking maybe 3 days to a week to be functional.Then maybe 3 more days to finalize things and get it to be stable inside the body and other ideas to hold plastic together.Hope to get it all done by 2/10/12.

UPDATE 1/18/12 All items have been bought.Except for maybe a different gun.

Special thanks to Specialist and TaisaKisu for wiring info. Also dhallak for how to vids for x7 battle rifle mod.Going to use the epoxy,putty and hardener he had mentioned.

SPECS WHEN DONE.
Hopefully if I use my 98 platinum series these are the specs.
Cyclone feed system with tac cap or low profile
Operating pressure 800-850 psi
7/8 diameter 8 inch barrel rifled with aepx2 tip
Electronic trigger 98 platinum series virtue board
Bullpup design for a tighter hold
Sling
Picatinny rails
scope and flashlight

Future things to add when completed
New 7/8 inch diameter barrel double threaded to take aepx2

Re: P98 Firefly mod from x7og

ions are really the best for these kinds of projects. If you're running a remote you can even leave the regulator off the marker and add it at the beginning of your remote.

however if you search on this forum there was one or two p90 builds that used 98.. however the platinum is problem due to itsairline.

Re: P98 Firefly mod from x7og

Big problem the p90 shell a lot smaller then the firefly shell. from sides it looks awesome from the front of the barrel its going to be a lot smaller on top and big on bottom..... Was also having trigger problems the firefly trigger uses up a lot of room so i moded a new spot hopefully it works.Will post some pics of my current progress.

Also the firefly shell is so weak compared to the p90 shells.May need to use something to stiffen the shells up.If anyone knows of what i could use to stiffen up the plastic that would be helpful.

Re: P98 Firefly mod from x7og

how about filling the firefly shells with JB weld and attach it to the 98c shells?
