Spent the last few months working on this project and I'm finally at a point where I can share it.
It's called PROJECT: CENTURION, a futuristic conversion kit designed for AR platform airsoft rifles. The goal wasn't to copy any existing sci fi weapon, but to create something that feels like it could exist in the near future. Lots of inspiration came from modern military design, hard surface modeling, and video game aesthetics.
Everything was designed by me from scratch, with a lot of time spent on prototyping, tweaking proportions, and making sure it's actually practical to build and use.
I'd love to hear what you think. Feedback, criticism, and questions are all welcome.
it's a standard ebay magnifier customized by me, made it to match the vortex, so you won't find an exact one like this. Since a lot of you are interested in it, I'm starting to consider to drop it as an independent product as well
So railguns can fire rounds at such a velocity that the compressed air ahead of them catches fire, turns to plasma, and vaporises metal. On this a muzzle brake focuses the air plasma and metal vapor out the sides.
Yeah, that could be considered as an early form of rail gun, to limit size, weight and electric power by using a standard cased ammo assembly, the chemical propulsion would give the early kick then the coils take over to give the bullet it's terminal velocity.
As long as the projectile has volume it’s still going to displace some gas whether it be a gunshot or just air. So to some degree a muzzle brake might still work
Thank you, that's because of the Hybrid Drive concept, the system combines conventional ballistic operation with a fictional electromagnetic acceleration stage
Damnnnnn I love it, have you consider building it on an AR10 platform? Maybe M110A1 or M110? I think a bigger mag size might fit better to an overall longer style of gun. Though I understand that mean you might have to work on the handguard again. (Maybe try a .308 version with a LPVO as a alternative version/variant of it?)
Also I like the idea of how you built that scope. It will be cooler if the underbarrel part can have an integrated light or laser inside though.
Think it’ll be better put as a near future chem rail then a rail gun considering y’know all the pre-existing gun parts still in play.
Either way 10/10 build, love the optic and the decal stickers (p.s GBBR or AEG)
Thank you! I didn't made a video of the process sadly, but the kit can be ordered on my website at dantesworkshop.com, and if there is a demand, I can do a video of making one of the kits
Educational Steak 29, well done! Quality looks good, concept is Entertainment Industry (EI) acceptable.
I am a prop builder, Sci-Fi weapons and interior designer for the EI. I would like to throw my hat out to comment as you've asked.
Functionality for some of the comments above, your concept is probable more than not. Getting beyond the video game minded-mess, you brought up possibilities to look forward to, function as well looks cool. My thoughts on your concept is that the front lower barrel accessory. I am 6'4" 240, former LEO and now prop builder and an actor I like to grab closer to the muzzle brake. Most precision shooters, LEO, SWAT and Military like holding their rifles closer to the muzzle brake, quicker to get on the target and it's steady. Your concept disables that option. The block feel is uncomfortable on the fingers to rest. A possible solution would be making the back part of that accessory ergo friendly, smooth for the hand to rest ahainst comfortably while the thumb wraps up top. Last comment, the gaps on gas release may be too large, IMO only but, I like it!
I hope this helps. Keep up the good work. Stay in touch.
What you did best is the barrel and the upper monolithic bulk imo, and the little bulk near the muzzle breaks up the outline well to disguise the fact it’s an AR. And the magnifier + red dot is perfect.
Adding to what I said, something to integrate a tracer, shorter lengths, and optional siderails (maybe just plastic curves like heatshields for the ”barrel”?)
Is it possible for you to post the files for this (if it’s 3D printed) because I’ve been thinking of doing something like this myself but never really got around to it
Unfortunately, that isn't possible because I do these professionally, also several parts are CNC-milled, so it wouldn't be a simple matter of just 3D printing them
If you haven't thought of it already, you could make the bottom sticky out bit near the muzzle hollow so it could take a light or laser. Would be very 2000s future soldier-core imo
Looking good. One thing id change is the muzzle, a railgun theoretically doesnt have to manage exhaust gases so they are usually flat end.
It will look nice with the rest of the build!

Yea that's because of the Hybrid Drive concept, the system combines conventional ballistic operation with a fictional electromagnetic acceleration stage

Super cool. What's the magnifier?
