I built a Machinegun in my garage!

Condenser can next?

Some hose and a 3 gallon plastic gas jug painted black?

Very cool. You win the INGO "Dad of the Week" award.

 

[PGRChaplain]

Your Vickers is Bad Ax! You Sir are a Good DAD!

Awesome job dad! Just don't tell them any stories about soldiers peeing in the barrel jacket if they couldn't find water for it.

put a nerf belt feeder inside to shoot nerf darts.

Thank you for my weekend project. The grand kids are gonna love this.

A few years ago I was in Party City on 96th st off HW69... They had belted plastic rounds on disintegrating links (I know the Vickers used cloth belts). We had an Airosft M60 that we hung the belt from and it looked good enough... Try and see if they still have them in stock, would go well with that Vickers. I am sure you can find them online, too.

Awesome! Though, at first I thought it was one of those gatling gun that fires rubber bands.

Looks like fun and great idea putting it on the bunker.

I'da just made it a aircooled .30 or .50 BMG. Just a little more modern. Somethin' kids could more relate to.

That is awesome. I actually had the same idea, to make one for my (future) kids. I would further suggest "linked ammo" by just stitching empty casings (or sections of wood dowel) into a strip of fabric. The old doughboy guns had fabric belts, IIRC, so it would be period-correct!

Yeah, my 5 and 8 year old boys would identify better with a 70 year old gun VS a 100 year old gun!

I wear tan canvas work pants every day. I thought about taking a worn pair and cutting a strip out of the leg and gluing some fired steel cases in it for the look!

Sarco has .30 caliber M1919 cloth belts. Load it up with dummies and it would make a great addition.

Browning Cloth Ammo Belt, 100 RD

Heck I could have fun playing with that toy gun. I had a cap gun that used roll caps, it automatically fed the next cap and fired with each pull of the trigger. Wouldn't have been difficult to stick the guts of it inside of your creation.

Cool!! Thanks for the link!

 

[Slow Hand]

Or paint them.

That is Awesome!! If it weren't for today's morons over reacting I'd do that to a couple of my boys Nerf Guns. Since they run the neighborhood with them and morons are everywhere, I should hold off...

 

[Caleb]

Awesome!!

Dude that's awesome! Reminds me of an older house in Logansport. They have a "bell tower" thing on their older home and they put a wooden machine gun of sorts up there. I used to crack up ever time I saw it.
That painted up nerf gun looks sweet too. That'd be a good addition to my man room....
