Sadly, the airsoft revolver that was going to be the base of this project wound up disappearing into the bowels of US customs, and since I have about thirty thousand projects going at any time, I haven't made any progress in a couple years. I do have a working airsoft M41a pulse rifle, though. That's a fun one. I bought a kit of this pistol from Monsters in Motion a while back with the goal of making a firing airsoft version.
