Tactonyx Halo Weapons Thread

[Tactonyx]

Greetings everyone, I've created this thread so I can post all of my builds in one spot, and so they can all be found in one spot.
To start out with, all of my builds are built from expanded PVC foamboard and sheet styrene. I usually get them in 1mm, 2mm and 3mm sheets of varying surface areas. I use an exacto knife with a reverse tanto tip or a reverse scalpel to cut the plastic (I prefer slightly dull blades as they are least likely to get stuck in the plastic)
I use epoxy putty and bondo to do body work and I use liquid super glue to assemble the entire projects. I also use brush on superglue for superficial chattering and seams and I use gel super glue to fill in small dents and holes.
I use 80 grit sandpaper to work off most of the putty work and 100 grit sandpaper to do all of my regular work, and use 150 grit and 400 grit on parts that are supposed to look like metel.
I will be reserving the first posts so I can upload projects as they come along (and belive me, I have quite a bit of Halo weapons already being worked on) and If you ask a question and I don't respond, that's because the answer is already here in this first thread.
Also, I will not share, or sell my weapon blueprints. Period.

So to kickstart everything off, I'd like to introduce my M6 Pistol.

Here's the renders of the pistol that mine is heavily based off of.

Proto M6G, or D, whichever you prefer.

Out with the Old and in with the New


Actual size


The pistol features a working trigger with a 3/16 (5mm) travel, a working safety, working slide, friction locked magazine, working picatinny rails and interchangable parts to make it into several varients with little modification.
I do plan on making copies of these so I can make the other varients so I may do a run of them here very shortly.

Demonstration of the foregrip locking mechanism in action


And yes, I like my builds to be very technical and detailed.


The M7 smg features a rotating foregrip that can lock, a detachable barrel shroud, detachable silencer, extending locking stock, working trigger, detachable friction locked magazine, detachable reflex sight and a reciprocating bolt that can be locked back.

I think was a pretty cool rifle, one of the exceptionally few weapons that I actually liked out of Halo: Reach.

Here's a concept of the BR55HB I plan on making. It'll be using the DMR lower and mag.

M90 Mk.2 CAWS

When I first played Halo, I never read the instruction manual, I just popped the game in and started playing. The shotgun came as a complete surprise when I picked it up in the swamp, but it was an awesome surprise.
Heres da pics for the shotty

Of all of the SRS99's my personal favorite was the Halo 2 sniper. It looks to more like a anti material rifle than any of the others. On a side note, the rifle is about five and a half feet long (1650mm) I've noticed a lot of people used a .50 BMG for thier sniper rifle builds, I built my own 14.5mm round to make it look and feel like a AMR, plus the 14.5mm is way bigger than a .50 and in real world ballistics the 14.5mm is twice as powerful. The sabot based off the Steyr 15.2mm AMR round.

About 75% of the gun so far.

Yeah, this thing is so big it wouldn't fit on my "blue" table for pictures.

Yeah I know I'm hogging all the first 15 posts, but I would like to have all of my Halo stuff in one place. Mind the mess
