Hiya!
Well after I posted the M.S.A V1 I got some feedback on it saying things like it didn't fire well or it didn't look great, so for all you guys that though the first one was bad, I present to you V2!
After a lot of reconstruction, I decided to scrap the old mag design and replace it with a much more size efficient oodammo mech, with I think turned out pretty well. The range was increased to about 35ft-45ft (depending on the bands used) and the whole gun felt so much stronger and more comfortable thanks to the body panels added to make it a five layer gun and they also meant that there were less white rods sticking out all over the place!

(All the pros/cons with a * next to them are knew in this update)

PROS:
-Stronger*
-Better iron sights*
-Oodammo*
-compact
-reliable
-true trigger
-handguard from ram rod* (see pics to know what I mean)
-mag ram has a lock so it won't come out*
-5 layers thick*
-faster reload*
-low piece count
-uses no modded pieces!
-longish ram pull*

CONS:
-Trigger is kinda close to the handle so it's not best suited to people with big hands
-the body panels stick out* (rarely)

Don't forget to rate, comment and follow me for more!!!!
Happy building!
