Hi DIY! Guy from /k/ here.
To preface, I know the rules, and this isn't a weapon, it is a toy, used purely for fun and reenactment.
I'm involved in Russian airsoft reenactment with some good buddies of mine and wanted something unique. I've designed an airsoft RPG-7 to be used with foam rockets that can either simply be foam or to detonate with a sort of timed pyrotechnic to emit smoke or to fling BB's all over and tag players out.
Recently an admin of a facebook page I follow created pic related- a working AN-94 with a reciprocating barrel. I was wondering if anyone here has ever done the same thing, anything similar, or knew anyone that has.
Thanks for viewing, I'm glad for any help or feedback. Just ask about the design if you're curious, I used to have several pages of design notes, but lost them in binders for this semester. I did memorize all the details however.
Please tell me about the design

A tube, with a wooden shielding segment in the rear to imitate the real one, a strengthened tubing segment for cosmetic reasons around the handguards. Uses 40mm CO2 grenades, press-fitted to a hard-cored re-usable rocket that has a plastic fitting in the shape of the 40mm grenade's head on the back. Uses a normal trigger/striker mechanism. Current ones only use this, but the 40mm grenade just flings BB's everywhere. This one would fire rockets. Originally I thought of several other ideas on how to make the machine cock and lock, but the current system- where a trigger mechanism is in the handguard, and a hammer is behind it, would work well enough to pull a segment of tensioned steel with a hammer on it, or with use of a small leaf spring. It's mostly a retrofit of existing launchers, yet it also isn't, as the rocket system is the largest change with everything. I currently don't have enough money to create the project, and was asking about feasibility.

And the AN?

I didn't build it- however from updates and questions to the maker, he used a 3D printer for the muzzle brake, handguard, reciever, and even the dust cover. The guy is a wizard with this shit. Used a MOSFET and a modified EBB system for the barrel reciprocation.

Very groovy, baby
Please post any updates about it if you can, such as a video if there ever is one.
The RPG sounds nice too, are there pics?

Not yet made one. I can link you the Facebook page and the video however. Give me a bit. Working on several papers.

Clarification- No data other than theory on the RPG, but the AN vids will come soon.

What's with the sand nigger scarf?

It's called a shemagh, and soldiers use it to defend themselves from the elements in desert applications.
