The Armpede, mkIII


We sadly only took one picture before we gave this to the guy that ordered it, but I present to you, the Armpede mkIII. I'll have to get the specs from Ivan, but I know this is BAD ASS.

What separates it from previous Armpede iterations is how it connects to the user. Instead of 2 lashing straps, or a large PVC gauntlet, it utilizes a 1" section of padded PVC around the wrist/forearm and a lashing strap in the rear to secure it to the user's arm, preventing major sweating and rolling on the arm, and lightening it up at the same time.

Known Specs:
  • Blue/Black paintjob
  • OMW 2x spring
  • Overvolt (12-16v?) in a flat AA battery box (long boxes also available)
  • Armpede minimization
  • New 2 point connection
  • Forward trigger in PVC casing
  • Badassery
Available for commission for either $50 plus a stampede, or $100 without a provided stampede. (Batteries not included)

THE ARMPEDE GAUNTLET (WIP)

So, last year we made something completely original that we dubbed "The Armpede." It was essentially a minimized stampede with an insane overvolt/spring combo and buckling straps that clipped onto your right arm and a long, wired trigger-button. Our friend Shawn owned with it during HvZ here at Purdue and elsewhere.

Well, Sam (the S of JSI), is working on a Nerf-equipped War Machine suit. As for his arms, he's incorporating 2 gauntlets, large sections of padded PVC with Nerf guns attached. Here's our attempt to patch up a new Armpede to one of them. It's not complete (or pretty for that matter), but it is functional and hits stellar ranges with Elites and has a killer ROF. I emptied this 18-round drum in a few seconds with no jams. Check it:

Armpedes (gauntlet or strapped) can be commissioned for $50 plus a stampede, or $100 without one (we provide a NIB stampede plus all NIB included accessories).
