Barry's Samurai Edge

[monk]

Sombody needs to do the gun from Equilibrium next. The Kata. Just don't forget the deployable studs to the magazine base and the full auto selector. Hollywood loves to add all kinds of stuff to the 92FS.

I wonder if it would be legal to build a magazine with studs that pop out...

I think that looks bad a $ $ bro... awesome!

Medallion fitting

Awesome. Where did you get the medallion and how did you get it flush with the grip? Just dremel and glue? Did you have to bend the medallion?

Medallion is from eBay. The UK location, not the US. UK version will allow you to fill in paint of your choice.

Medallion will need to have part of it removed, it is a RE R.P.D pin than a medallion, so it is not exactly like the AirSoft simulation. I used the Hogue grip for this build. (Barry would want the rubber grip to absorb the 3-round burst )

I first traced out the medallion on the grip then surface checker-cut the grip with a razor. Then I used a $50 Sears table drill with a 1/2" mill bit and "dig" clean out the inlet. Just deep enough for a flush fit. Then I heat up a penny to just hot enough to melt the rubber and "brand" the newly cut inlet. The heat will melt the surface just enough to smooth the edges out.

Since the medallion is a pin, I then drill a small hole to pass the pin in (the pin is not centered, it was a pain to fit. I would cut the pin off next time). Medallion is held in place with SuperGlue. Fill in red paint in the center to round off the look.

With trial and error, the process took about 3.5 hrs from start to finish.

The gun used in the movie is not the same as the one with the auto selector. Noticed the movie gun has the slide lock at the same location as the selector.

I wonder how would someone square out the trigger guard Frame is alloy probably more brittle compare to steel.

It is just an approximation of Barry Burton's Samurai Edge. It is mainly a DIY project to use as much drop-in parts as possible. The recent post on the Resident Evils Samurai Edge build sparked my childhood fantasy. One of the main reason I bought the 92FS.

Only selective cosmetic looks were incorporated. And it is based on a 92FS not 96. And it does not have a happy switch.


Hopefully I'll be able to find a heavy slide in the future to round it off.

Just out of curiosity, what are the various components? I haven't seen the rail attachment or the front end frame lengthening in it. I would definitely like to try and reproduce it myself.

As asked before, what's the "Lore" behind the pistol? Unique guns are cool if they come with a neat story, like he stole the prototype or got it off robocop or something.

That looks pretty cool. Good work.

With all do respect, what is the fascination with that franchise? I've seen a ton of modified "RE" Berettas of late. And to be honest, most aren't as unique as yours. Most seem to just be a black 92 with a stainless barrel and trigger, then a busy-looking grip with a medallion. What's the lore?

Why do people like Star Trek or Indiana Jones.. or are fans of Doctor Who or whatever..

and zombies are in vogue these days..

No, no...please don't misinterpret my question for picking on your interests. To the contrary, because I think your gun looks way better than the other replicas I've seen.

I was just simply curious what general aspects of that series are drawing people in?

That's an easy one. It's every video game geek's wet dream: Hot chick that kicks zombie butt with lots of guns and explosions.
