LOlz, that merits your first +1

Yeah Steevo, I'm being generous ;D

I know we all love to rag on Felix and his buddies for the emo thing :P, but I have to state for the record that they gave me a very pleasant surprise at their first major operation at 24II, I hadn't thought they would stick with it the whole time and do so well, but they impressed me.

Getting back on the orginial subject, this looks like a homemade FN2000 clone. Plenty of brands make versions now

Though remotely similar, it is still very different. P90 lower, FAMAS stock, G36 upper, and AR charging handle (seems they threw that in to just make it a ridiculous as possible).

It's a gun from an anime series. I remember the original thread from Arnies (or was it ASF) years ago. I want to say it was 2006.

Yeah, it has been around a long time..way before Chiclones hit the scene.  Has nothing to do with an F2000.

If you google search the gun's name, you find this helpful information (on this very forum) by none other than TEH GABES.
That, gentlemen, is the Omnicol XA-23 (or something like that).  It's been around about as long as I've been playing airsoft.  It was a custom project made by some genius flecktarn addict.  He took a Fa-Mas, G36, and P90 and a TON of clay and plasticard material to build something he said was inspired by Ghost in the Shell.  It's the only one, but unfortunately the performance has much to be desired.  At this point it's not much more than a showpiece because the overall rigidity is pretty terrible.  Because the Fa-mas trigger in the GB pulls and the P90 trigger pushes on the trigger lead he had to rig some crazy remote switch in there, and he also lost semi-auto capability due to this.
The AR charging handle you see is non functional, it's just glued into the base of that MP5/G3 rear sight.  In more recent pictures, he actually replaced the foregrip with a very moldable clay material, but the original look (pictured above) looks more professional in my opinion.
Found this render for some HL mod..looks better than the real one  :D

That would be because Sky only has skinnys, and i just felt like wearing them to a game for once. And they're not gay...just not gangsta. Oh and I already have a pair, thanks though.

Well thanks Dom! But only two of the four were emo there :P

Technically, yes. Just not through the big pits. Trust me, I love to offroad my minivan! Just ask any of the ROYAL guys, they all have gone airborne from bumps at least once.





Now that the Trolling is done.

I was actually being serious Dom, This would be my only project, and probably a CQB gun, but Id actually like to try and make this.

Its true, I got some major air at the lunch brake at phantom hawk. Although, it was nothing compared to the air I got in the back of Mojo's truck the other day at SQA; those hills are evil...

I'm not Dom, but being pretty familiar with the original WIP page, I can tell you the main mechanical issue is going to make the trigger work.  The Fa-Mas gearbox pulls on a metal rod to close the circuit, where the P90 does the opposite.  You'll either need to move the open part of the circuit to the trigger (lots of wiring and gearbox work, likely some milling) or jury rig some sort of Z-shaped joint inside of the P90 trigger mech to reverse the way it works.  The latter seems less labor intensive, and honestly, having owned a Fa-Mas...I think it would be easier.  Your other option would be to condense it further by putting the P90 trigger mech where the Fa-Mas' trigger actually is (instead of slightly in front, according to the original builder) and just making the appropriate cuts so that when the P90 trigger goes back, it pushes the Fa-Mas trigger (which at that point would be cleverly hidden) along it's mechanically intended path, likely reducing any trigger problems.
That was the biggest issue the original builder had with it.  He also lost semi-automatic, but the Fa-Mas has a clever anti-reversal latch release switch near the fire selector, so spring compression was never an issue in the first place.  He also said the foregrip was ridiculously uncomfortable, so salvaging more of the P90 foregrip may be smart considering how ergonomic it is.

Also, that gun is like 80% epoxy and a material called 'plasticard' in the WIP page.  Keep that in mind, lol.
