G36K 'Jormungandr' + AG36

Finally, in terms of exterior and looks, my trust-worthy G36 is complete. She went through a whole lot of modding before taking up this form, but I'm extremely satisfied with the final result.

Before you ask, let me enlighten you in some laws regarding replicas over here. I already did in another deviation, but this one reflects the law "in flesh". A replica classified as an AEG (which is determined by components and muzzle velocity),must be painted as so. Stocks and barrel tips in fluorescent, bright colors to indicate they're not real. This obviously sucks for several reasons. Breaks camouflage, you get easily spotted when playing and it plainly ruins the look and realism of the gun that cost you quite some cash. We can't exchange parts for non-painted ones but we can, however, cover them up with some tape, for example. I guess that in the end, it's better than being prohibited to play Airsoft at all.

With that said, shall we continue?

You might think that without the GL and the top rail, this would be a pretty standard conversion to do. It wasn't, since this baby started off as a G36C-M, by JG, which is basically a C with a STANAG adapter and yet another adapter for compatibility with buffer tubes and therefore, AR-style stocks.

I've had the AEG for about two years now and this project took her her last year. It is my first and still is my finest replica today, with no breaks or let-downs. (I gotta confess, I take really good care of her ).

Fortunately, HK developed this weapon in a modular fashion, so its Airsoft counterpart isn't too hard to modify to your taste. First step was getting a longer inner barrel accompanied by a K handguard. After that was the standard stock, the 3x scope/carry-handle and the also standard magwell. My demise was seeing some KSK, BW and Formoza pics with the AG36 40mm launcher installed in their G36s, ahah! After some more research I finally decided the final look I wanted and what sort of role I'd like it to perform. Finding the handle (with the RIS unit) was a pain or too expensive, so I made one myself using some of my dad's bicycle screws. Perfect fit, the 552 slides right on! Finally, picked up the S&T GL and a round for it in some great discounts at Gunfire and finished with some Krylon Khaki and Brown along with some finishing, for that desert-arid look.

Throughout this process, she saw the wizardry hand of my airsoft mechanic buddy, who gave her a overall revision, tuning and some minor upgrades, mainly concerning gearbox stuff and electrics. The cherry on top will be a 11.1v battery, which she can now take thanks to the mosfet and perhaps a metal hop unit just for structure since there's a fantastic R-Hop installed.

I won't lie to you. This replica isn't for everyone. Although she's a K, there's a reason I named her after the northern mythological "world serpent", Jörmungandr. The gun is not that long, but it is rather heavy (around 4,5Kg), cumbersome and tall. I needed to get a really good sling because of this. For someone that's used to the regular G36s or plastic-body AEGs, it might feel like too much of a beast. However, I love it and I'm absolutely pleased with the result. (I'll take advantage and work out while playing, ahah!)
