PTE gun fixes

[Giga Bread]

I was looking at some PTE stuff that showed up and I'd be interested in buying some of the figure packs for some of the gear but I can't bring myself to buy bendy guns. It's unfortunate because some of them are really nice sculpts and scaled a little better than what we're use to.


Does anyone know of any methods of straightening these guns? I know that can be altered by heating up and cooling but I was wondering if there were any better methods.

 

[K-Tiger]

Unfortunately the hot/cold method is the only one I know of.

You can try replacing the barrels and any other tube shape with bits of straight paper clips, tooth picks or needles (with the tip filed off, of course).

I've done this a time or two.

This actually might work a little better anyways as some of the guns have grotesquely huge barrels.

I've always found their weapons to be of subpar design and materials, so I usually toss them right away.

^^^This neither answers the question or offers any options.

I'd maybe try replacing the barrels and buffer tubes/stocks with styrene, for starters.

Contrary to your opinion, I feel that throwing them in the trash IS my preferred remedy for their shoddy construction. And even you have to admit throwing them away IS offering other "option".

 

[Obi-Shinobi]

Nope, don't have to admit to anything. Trashing them is not an option to fixing bent barrels. It's only an option as to what to do with them reguarding keeping them.

You fail.

 

[Giga Bread]

Only SOME of the designs are worth attempting a fix for. There are a couple standard M4 designs that aren't too shabby if you alter the foregrip and straighten it out.

Funnily enough, the earlier releases had less bendy/rubbery versions of the weapons.

 

[Goldbug]

Actually I thought we were going to send tofujesse(after he gets well) some so that he could make them out of better material.

 

[Goldbug]

JINX!

Funnily enough, the earlier releases had less bendy/rubbery versions of the weapons.

Ha! I've noticed the later ones were less bendy here.

 

[Falcone]

Throwing toys away is blasphemy.

 

[Riotheory]

If one of you master customizers were going to convert one of Falcone's Galils into a Micro Galil, would you just take the knife to it and super glue the shortened forestock on? Is there a way to strengthen it so that it doesn't break back apart when you try to pose a figure? Thanks

[Mandingo Rex]

I concur with NSA on tossing the pieces of shit. Same with the fucking figures.

Now the vehicles and accessories? Total keepers.

Funnily...FUNNILY??!!! THAT"S NOT EVEN A WORD!

Or, just send them to me.

Umm... dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/british/funnily-enough
... yes it is.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

Seems right to me...though so does interchanging seen and saw in some instances, so I may be a poor judge of the correct way to use the english language...

 

[Giga Bread]

"funnily" is the adverb variation of "funny"
