I did some more work today, and found a ball pivot that I ordered off Amazon to do the final attachment of the weapon mounting plate to the shaft that will run through the sled. Here are some more pics.

You are the King of the internet today.

Ok project is pretty close to finished, the entire apparatus easily assembles and disassembles in minutes thanks to clips and rotating lock tubes and the main ball and socket mount. You can also adjust the angle of the gun at any time in a few seconds should you wish to fire more horizontally or more vertically or somewhere in between. I have a couple of minor cosmetic additions still to come such as the bullet belts feeding into the guns but I thought I'd share the latest round of pictures from the project. Enjoy! BTW total cost for this outside the guns was maybe $100-$150 is miscellaneous hardware and parts, not expensive at all.

Can't have a gun with no bullets, working out the bullet band mounting today.

I really would like to make some sort of kit for this, using a plastic injection mold for the gun and then a simpler floor mount system without the complex rails. If there is a sponsor our there who is making things for the Cybertruck I'd be happy to collaborate on this as I'd also offer interchangeable gun styles, rocket launcher, etc.

Did you put any Foundation badges on our wrap? I'm going with the same/similar wrap but will have some Foundation badges embossed and then some Cyberbeast badges as well. I don't see any of the UNSC logos or writing on yours, did you not want it?
