Beautiful! I love the clash between old and new, i'd love to see something really futuristic-looking with wood on it.
this Calico is pretty cool:
and while not exactly wood, I feel like bakelite also brings a similar vibe (and it's actually decently old, going back to the 1910s), and there's a bunch of cool-looking Soviet prototypes making extensive use of it:
This is what Starfield's purported "NASApunk" could have been if Bethesda actually had any aesthetic sensibilities...
is that one of those joke .22s?
I don't think so, the lower receiver has 5.56 on it. It's just with some custom-made wooden furniture
i forget the exact story behind (something that looks like) these, there was a m16 replica made in the Philippines in .22 because i guess people fetishize the vietnam loser gun and that might've had the incorrect markings on it, somebody asked for one with wood furniture for whatever reason, and then pictures got posted online because it's funny.
but people also just do A2s in wood sometimes.
Ah, the Armscor M1600. Honestly, that one doesn't look that much like a real M16, but it's still neat
real "'80s villain henchman gun" kind of vibe, like the Muzzlite and some other polymer guns from that time
Colonial marines pulse rifle at home
God I love the look of wooden furniture, plastic/polymer/etc just doesn't look as nice
Also gotta chamber it in .50 Beowulf and carve "ARRÊT!" on the stock
It just looks wrong
So wrong. if you ever get your hands on one send it my way, so I can appreciate how wrong it is!
