His problem wasn't genetic, he was just compensating for only having one ball

Im all about bigger guns...................and Ive got 2 plus a hidden one that seems to keep wanting to reproduce.

Braggart!

It turns out the 75mm barrel by Mato has a near 6mm diameter opening (like 5,8mm or something)
So im going to drill that up to 6mm.
Connecting it to the HengLong unit posses still some challenges, i feel i can make it work though.
But i cant start the actual fabricating untill i have my Tank (yeah still waiting…)
I bought a few clear plastic rods, but drilling a (near)perfectly straight hole through it proved to be a major challenge, i messed up a few, have one 70% of perfect and still have two more in case i mess up again.
The biggest difference between the HL and Mato barrel is the base diameter, HL is 14mm, Mato is 8mm, which posses another challenge because i want to use the Mato mantlet.
Once ive made some actual progress ill post some pics.

If you are going to use HENGLONG's recoil mechanism, you can reproduce the recoil by purchasing the product in the link below and linking it with the BB unit.

If you want to do the muzzle flash and BB_LUNCH at the same time, there is a successful case in the Korean community by disassembling the BB unit and inserting the 5PI LED in the center of the piston.
However, I cannot recommend it in terms of durability because wires attach to moving pistons.
