That would be pretty sick though. You should just buy a gun (a good one) that resembles the ar and stick your templates over it. Then you know it will work and you could take it off it you wanted to make adjustmensts. With your templates though if you go to an airsoft or paintball retailor they might be able to provide internals for it.

here is a great one. Note this is all highend AEG and gas stuff.
www.airsoftextreme.com/ Hey maybe you make a gas AR. At least you won't have deal with electronics but you might have a prob. going places with it cuz they might think you're trying blow the place to bits! :shock:

although it would be cool if the AR actually worked, I would rather stick with just a prop replica cuz then you could fill up the inside with magnets and wires for other functions like a more accurate counter. It would also be safer for con and game release events. :dee:

I saw this working pulse rifle from alien. made from a tommy gun. Counter kliks done with the pull of the trigger. The guy I'm lookin at is Tommin http://www.m41a.com:80/
This is the vid bescribing his. cool look at the ammo counter http://www.rookscastle.com/videos/pulserifle.wmv :mrgreen:
Here is the counter site take a look. It has options to buy. It was on the resource section at the very very bottom. http://www.hyperdynelabs.com/products_elec_prCounter.php :mrgreen:
For an idea of shape, pictures of the casings can be found here http://www.wgcshop.com/pcart/shopper.php?cat=Gearboxs though there are plenty of suppliers in Hong Kong and the US.
I'd probably go with a version that is used in all the decent M249's that are available (and happens to be one I have spare from upgrading my own M249) It also helps that it's basically a single unit with a regular shape with a simple micro switch for activation that can be actuated in a number of ways.
Dimensions are 220mm long x 65mm high x 35mm thick

Dreg is not entirely accurate with his comment on parts. The vast majority of internal parts are fully interchangeable. As with any technical hobby there is a huge range of aftermarket parts for upgrades from a range of manufacturers. Of course the range is rather dizzying. So far as the shonky cheap plastic Chinese shite goes, that's another matter.
Mostly I was thinking out load after having a brainwave from seeing Link's picture of the templates all laid out. Looking at the AR it strikes me that it has a lot of potential internal space in there that would lend itself well to an airsoft gun.
I'd pop a large battery in the foregrip section and use a barrel and breach unit from an M4 (really simple and freely available.) A removable clip strikes me as rather a fiddly prospect, I'd investigate ripping the guts out of a powered magazine and having a reservoir in the top unit.
Once you get a hang of how an AEG works, it really isn't rocket science; however it is fiddly and can have some esoteric issues. As a first project it might not be the best of ideas (lord knows I've experienced enough expense and fury messing around with the kit I have.) However in the design of the AR there is potential to make a truly godly BB hose of a gun.
The biggest problem I could foresee would be assembling the finished item in such a way that would allow access to the internals for maintenance and repair.
I have to admit safety issues at a con wouldn't be a problem. Myself and friends use airsoft guns as larp props, just have it unloaded and the battery removed or at least unplugged.

Noticed a slight mistake I made in that last post and tweaked it (the box ain't a version 3.)
TBH getting an M249 gearbox can get dammed expensive (I've been there.) For those of us that don't have spare crap knocking around, you may want to get a version 1 from a FAMAS, which would work out pretty cheap, is a bit thinner and about 2 3rds the length.

that's just a case though, would need the internals. You should be able to pick up either a box or a complete FAMAS second hand for relativly little cash. In fact. a complete gun would give you all the bits you'd need.
