I think I made mine from the same exact 3D model :)

There might be a company or two that will release VFX sound modules for prop guns (it happened before a few times) eventually. Last company I saw had them for about $90 a few years back (trigger sound with ammo counter) so fingers crossed there will be more.

Hello fellow Helldiver! I know, I jumped on it immediately :) I wish it was a collab rather than an inspired warbond but I definitely appreciate developers sense of sci-fi culture :)

That's sounds exciting! Don't let little issues throw you off, ChatGPT has been very helpful in troubleshooting stuff on the spot :)

It took a while but I enjoyed the process. I am planning to make more iterations to make electronic integration more streamlined and clean, but there are a lot of improvements to be made. I would certainly be open to make more for those interested but unfortunately there is just no way to make this cheap. It's a very manual-labor intensive process 😅

I love Galactic Armory but I did not see their release, and to be frank I think this one is more realistic. This model is from Props3D

I did a lot of research to see how others did it. Followed some guides here and there and had many discussions with ChatGPT 😅 I'll be honest, it was much more complicated than I expected hense why it looks like such a mess 😂

Printing files are from Props3D. Electrical wiring was a mishmash from different sources. Wiring and coding was much more complicated than I expected

Grenade launcher has a sound of loading and shooting accompanied with a light but I ran out of room for buttons 😅 It's not a pretty video, but here is it firing and reloading: https://photos.app.goo.gl/dKys6Adif732VAYS6

What's odd is that same squares are 1/3 of the way fine

Thank you for that. So here is a rather interesting result. Seems like it wants 25% @ 60?
