The Leviathan + Special Sneak Peak?!

20130409_205151.jpg
What's up guys, Ben_the_Builder here with the shotgun i previewed with my T.D.M.R. (The Dual Mag Rifle). I was screwing around with this gun for a while, and couldn't perfect it. I had issues with a few of the pieces and the band ratio was always juuuuuust the slightest bit off, too powerful, not enough, mag bands weren't strong enough, too weak... the trigger bands... it was a mes, and looked like a mess.. but it worked! Thus being so, i decided to share with you guys my latest 'Ible.. The 'Leviathan' 

I'll give you a quick run down before i give you instructions, so you don't just rush ahead. Ooh! one last thing, i HIGHLY recommend you look at the pictures that have edits on them because there are PURPOSEFULLY broken rods, i also HIGHLY recommend you DON'T purposefully break the connectors if you don't have to! take an already broken piece and modify it to your liking, BE RESOURCEFUL!

PROS:
- VERY powerful for its size.
- Extendable to an 8-12 round magazine, i used 6 in the original gun.
- Working pump.
- Shell ejection.
- Weighted, it's rather heavy for its size, but then again, it doesn't feel like you're throwing around a toy gun.
- True trigger.
- Rapid firing capabilities.
- Very sturdy.
- Wide barrel.
- Fires blue rods.

CONS:
- Doesn't have supermodel good looks.
- Short, a tad short to my liking.
- Stiff pump mechanism, because of how wide the gun is, there's a lot of friction between the pump and arms, and the gun itself.
- Requires broken rods AND SOME BROKEN CONNECTORS!

Away we go!... *magical portal sounds* ... "wubwubwubwubwubwubwubwubwubwubwub"... BING! ... your sandwich is ready : |

So, after i made The Leviathan, I decided to head to games for my newest gun, i looked to an all time favorite, Gears of War. I know, there's a few of these guns already on here, some are amazing, others not so good, but, i made my own in my own interpretation, So, give it a look, i plan on keeping this for a while. and i MIGHT post instructions if i can bare to pull this baby apart, oh, one last thing,you can add an internal mag pusher for the magazine, i just have the giant one because i work better with them : 3

Well, that's me for now, and my guns are up, so I'm probably going to look for more motivation.

Ben_the_builder, over and out.
