I still have to decide what camo pattern to use. Either tiger stripe or a simple green/black pattern. Once I decide and get her war paint on, I'll post more photos. Took her out to the range today, and she runs fantastic, and I think it's actually more accurate now.
Munitions in top photo are, clockwise from top L:
White, Green, and Red para flares
White Star Cluster, CS Gas, and two M576 buckshot
M407 Practice, M397 Bounding HR replica, M381 HE Replica, M433 Replica, and another M381 Replica,
Red, Green, and Yellow Ground Smoke Markers.
All rounds are live and real except for HE replicas.
Retirement is grand...
