While i see what you mean, I don't see any way other than the bullpup design that you can base a BR55 off an MA5C. Well the BR has the Ammunition Display HUD like the AR and a Railing. What I meant is that the BA-M5's bullpup design could be used as a start of the Mold. If any of the HALO-themed weapons that are to be made besided the ones already done should be the Battle Rifle in my opinion.

The BR55 should be made. Sorry if i'm being a bit of a hypocrite.

I'm still wondering, if any of the mods can answer this, is it possible to use the BA-M5's main design as a bullpup as a start for a BR55?

By completely new design, do you mean it's shape of the stock or the design on the gun? Sorry, I was refering to the design shape of the BA-M5's stock and if it can be adapted to the design of a BA BR55. Also, I was just recently thinking about the Sniper Rifle. It features an "Angled" Bipod as shown here. I'm wondering how it may be incorporated into the design. Maybe an angled grip so the regular Bipod can be angled, or should the angled bipod be part of the weapon instead of a separate piece?

I think a good halo weapon would be the beam rifle (alien sniper). Or a plasma pistol and rifle.And last but not least....the GRAVITY HAMMER! :)

I don't know how well a rod to attach the bipod would work. It would be odd as the rod would *probably* be wider than the actual weapon. And I would think that incorporating the bipod into the design wouldn't work. If the molding process works as i think it would, the mold wouldn't be able to open without breaking the weapon.

Regarding the HALO sniper rifle, if Will were to design an anti-material sniper rifle, chances are it would be based on the Barrett family of weapons as they are probably the best known weapons of that type and would also double well enough for the HALO sniper rifle on the minifig scale.
In regards to the bipod angle issue, the Barrett family of rifles features an angled point where the magazine meets the body of the weapon. If (again IF) Will were design such an item, all he'd have to do is make that point sized so that bipod grip (or any grip for that matter) could tightly attach to that point. It'd be a squared grip, so the tight wouldn't be the solid lock that a grounded grip has, but as the M1911 shows, even a squared grip can be solid enough if properly sized.

Alright, thanks for clearing that up for me.

Or, the BrickArms bipod could snap onto this kind of sniper rifle at an angle. That weapon would be no problem to mold..no problem at all (well, except for the bullpup design feature, but I've worked around that in the past). ;)

I wouldn't mind seeing the sniper rifle from Halo, as part of the Brickarms lineup. It could also work for modern MOCs, since it's a large caliber sniper rifle. To me, I think it resembles a combination of the Barrett M82 and the Accuracy International AS50. I'd love to see this molded.

I'm not sure about that. The Color Scheme and design may be even harder for Will! I think the same goes with the Plasma Pistol and Plasma Rifle. . . . . Gravity Hammer!? Couldn't you just take a simple TLC Rod and stick a brick at the top and add a few details and there? I don't really see the use of making a BA Grav-Hammer when you can make a Brick-Built one. the enigma that is badger wrote:Regarding the HALO sniper rifle,if Will were to design an anti-material sniper rifle, chances are it would be based on the Barrett family of weapons as they are probably the best known weapons of that type and would also double well enough for the HALO sniper rifle on the minifig scale.

Great idea for the Barrett Sniper doubling as the S2 AM Sniper Rifle. I also like the suggestions for the Bipod attachment.

But if the Sniper is as easy to mold like you said, I'm hoping this sniper (Or a 50.cal Barrett Sniper Rifle) will go int production soon!

While Will is certainly aware of how popular the idea of a heavy caliber sniper rifle is, don't get your hopes up in terms of seeing one "soon." Will has alot of designs and prototypes on his plate right now and with another two conventions ahead of him, finding the time to design and prototype new accessories will be tricky. Still, that doesn't mean you shouldn't be watching for new stuff in the near future, including a few as yet unseen and very exciting items. Will's been hard at work perfecting the protoypes he displayed at BrickWorld not to mention working on a few new designs to compliment them, so new BA stuff is on the way. It just doesn't happen to include a heavy sniper rifle at the moment. badger

Sorry badg. I just got a little hyper at the end when Will said he would be able to make this in the future. Anyways, I just hope a heavy sniper rifle will be available in the future since BA doesn't really have that many Sniper Rifles. And hopefully, it can double as the HALO Sniper. :) EDIT-I just saw that this topic has become a sticky. Is this a mistake?If it isn't, it looks like the HALO Arsenal is very popular among BA Fans. Woot!

I can't see how you could go wrong with either of them, they are both EXTREMELY popular.
