Change guns towards EQ weapons

[TheSwede86]

Hello!

First of all I would apologize if this thread is somewhere else and all-ready disscused. Please point me towards the URL and I would be very happy.

Now to the question.

The weapons that they use in EQ can you change a existing gun towards that? I mean the look of the gun and the firing (the crosses that comes out when you fire it?).

Just a thought..Would be cool..Please feel free to write anything related to changing a gun towards a "EQ" gun and why/why not it is possible and what is and is not possible.

Best Regards - TheSwede86

KW used the beretta as the cleric's gun because it was so easy to modify (he wanted top ejection instead of the regular right-side ejection). So, yes, if you have a beretta, you can make it more like the guns used in EQ. You'd have to modify the appearance of it a little, but I'm not too sure of the specifics.

Yes and no:

Obviously, the film's armorer (Uwe Lehmann) modifed real Berettas to look that way for the film, so it's possible in real life, too. Assuming you live in the U.S. and can legally buy a handgun, you could purchase a Beretta 92FS from a gun shop and create a barrel extension, fake selector, and magazine baseplate identical to those created for the guns in the movie. You'd need lots of source material (diagrams, exact dimensions, etc.), but it's possible. That leaves the question of where to get them, of course.

BUT...

The problem is that you could not convert the gun to actually fire full-auto, as Lehmann did for the movie. If you did, you'd be in possession of an illegal, unregistered machine gun, which is a major offense in the U.S. The 1986 Firearm Owners Protection Act outlaws any machine guns not registered prior to May 1986 from being sold to civilians. Only police, military, and armorers/gun handlers in the film industry can own machine guns manufactured after that date.

Frankly, you should just buy a Japanese airsoft or model gun Beretta and modify that if you just want the gun for fun. Although personally, I'd be curious to see what those barrel extensions might do for range and accuracy on a real gun.

Oh, yeah, and as far as getting the muzzle flashes to look like crosses, I doubt it. I think that was an extra digital effect added later in post-production.

If you live in the ninth district court's jurisdiction
you can aply to make a personal machine pistol. they ruled that the feds would have to grant. the caveat- 1you have to get the stamp before you start 2You have to make the pistol.

the muzzle flashes would be possible but most likely detrimental to the usefullness of said gun

if t shaped ports were milled at an angle into the barrel
-four of them. well then. you might still be able to still hit a target. notice that the crown of the barrel that you would have to modifiy is the most important part in reference to bullet stability
