Hello all! After seeing someone else turn their Recon CS-6 into a sniper rifle from halo, i thought i should also start with making my props.
As well as printing out some stuff i decided to look up info beforehand.
And this is where my problem is:
The halo reach sniper rifle is a 14mm anti material rifle.
The barrel is around 80 cm (2.5 feet i believe)
It has also appeard in .450 cal in the book "the fall of reach"
After printing the pages i noticed that the forward barrel-gas return tube-holder thingy has a pretty big hole for a barrel of a 14mm bullet. I checked and it comes in at a whopping 36mm!
Now, that may not be much but the largest in caliber anti material rifles are at 25mm and they already look cannon-like.
So my question is if anyone has made it, is that too large? Would it affect the build? What PVC pipe diameter would you suggest?
Thank you all! Progress pics will be up by sunday!
Have a nice day!
Cheers
