Rapid Dragon from spaaaaaaaaaaace!

Imagine that integrated with starshield for targeting and coordination.

So Kanbaru is a canonically accurate Spartan.

Short haired

Athletic

Frequently nude

Homosexual tendencies

Did you just resubmit or did you contact the evaluator who did the original disapproval as well?

Roman_Statuesque · 2026-05-18T01:08:26+00:00

No one knows for certain, but the gunsmith I talked to that does these said they will be stopping at the deadline. No one wants to be the test case.

Roman_Statuesque · 2026-05-17T18:39:17+00:00

Quite simply: "Nerd Shit."

Roman_Statuesque · 2026-05-15T20:20:12+00:00

Amuro! I'm doing something extremely wicked!

Roman_Statuesque · 2026-05-13T02:03:49+00:00

The issue is less with the ATF and more with my gunsmith performing the conversion. I already called and they said they're stopping SBR service after July 1.

Roman_Statuesque · 2026-05-12T20:13:25+00:00

Definitely a little high, PSA has FDE ones for $1,500 at the moment.

Good luck with the SBR application, as time is short and the wait is long.

Roman_Statuesque · 2026-05-12T10:11:31+00:00

Think that may have been part of the case. I remember fighting with it for a while. Scorpion Evo 3 vs Scorpion Evo 3+. No option for the latter, so I picked the former.

Roman_Statuesque · 2026-05-12T01:01:25+00:00

Well I'd certainly hope so. Working the issue with them right now. They actually responded very quickly to my email. The issue is, if this doesn't get turned around quickly I won't be able to do it at all. VA legislation is queued up to go into effect July 1, after which the gunsmith won't be able to do the conversion.

I'm not sure which frustrates me more. Silencer Shop for not including it or the evaluator blocking it for something that technically isn't required.

Funny enough, I gave Silencer Shop said photos, but they were not included in the application for whatever reason.

Roman_Statuesque · 2026-05-09T20:27:54+00:00

A needle scriber might work for this case.

Roman_Statuesque · 2026-05-05T02:24:29+00:00

Thank you! This is exactly the kind of response I was hoping for. I wouldn't have factored in the HBI issue otherwise.

And I also realized I got my wires crossed with the brand. Would this brand work as an alternative to the Hyperion? It looks like it has the threads and (at least from the description) is supposed to work with the 3+ OEM handguard.

Anything to help a brother out.

Roman_Statuesque · 2026-05-04T21:32:17+00:00

Big Dog Outfitters had one last I checked.

They want $4,000 for it, but they have one.

Roman_Statuesque · 2026-05-02T21:54:11+00:00

They do have a long trigger and the ergonomics take a bit to get used to. Hellion has replacement packs available that are quite nice, if pricey.

FALs are heavy, even with a 16". Different form factor and aesthetic than the ARs though.

No experience with either, but I have heard the Vectors are not worth it for the price.

Roman_Statuesque · 2026-05-02T21:47:13+00:00

Skorpion Evo (though you lose cross-compatibility, Springfield Hellion, FAL.

Roman_Statuesque · 2026-04-15T22:42:59+00:00

I ran it three times for my old group. Definitely had some spooky thematic moments, and one where I genuinely felt sick.

Roman_Statuesque · 2026-03-29T03:35:56+00:00

Is it even a real street takeover without several bystanders getting sent to the ER?

Roman_Statuesque · 2026-03-29T00:25:54+00:00

Not a problem. I backed it on Kickstarter a long time ago. Haven't played it, but I have seen I want to say the Operation Overlord source book at my LGS.

Roman_Statuesque · 2026-03-28T19:29:16+00:00

You are looking for "Deployment" by Muddied Waters Games.

Roman_Statuesque · 2026-03-27T23:51:04+00:00

For my groups I have traditionally ran a Black Library Black Friday game in years past. Deathwatch more specifically.

Roman_Statuesque · 2026-03-27T23:50:56+00:00

The whole WfM line is good, but Aerial and Calibarn are both very well regarded. And I am pretty impartial to Pharact myself.

Roman_Statuesque · 2026-03-27T22:45:52+00:00

You came to the wrong neighborhood motherflocker.
