BOTW: "Spacegun" by Noshpatu
The 18th Installment of Build of the Week was contributed by Noshpatu. I think this submission beat the whole “Space Force” announcement a few months ago so Noshpatu may have something. That said, anything with the Hera CQR is going to look science-fictiony. The drum actually looks pretty good with the build—normally it looks, shall we say, um, dumb? I do think this build deserved a laser rather than a light, though…

I think the HERA stock kits can look good, if done right. I'm guessing most people who install a HERA kit are p90 fans & are going for an "as-close-to-a-p90" look as possible, right?...with that said, I agree the drum is def a good choice & a big factor in achieving that look. But if a p90 clone/looks was truly the main goal in the build above, than paying the tax stamp for an SBR & swapping out the 16" M4 barrel for a 7" or 10" pistol barrel, should've been at the top of the list for this set up. Barrel length, IMO, is the main factor in getting most outa what these stock kits were meant for...that being, a chance to have that futuristic-ray gun look of the p90, using just the upper & lower from the AR you already have at home.
It could be a Acebeam LEP W10 instead of a flashlight. Makes more sense for a "space" gun: http://www.acebeam.com/whit...
