Semi-Firing M6C SOCOM // Halo 3 ODST

I DO NOT CHECK MY YOUTUBE COMMENTS. IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION, ASK IT HERE.

 

This model is of the M6C SOCOM from Halo 3 ODST. It features a removable magazine, a working slide, an internal locking system, and a functioning trigger system that allows the model to arm and “fire.” There are no projectiles, but the model is able to create a small amount of recoil and makes a snap sound similar to what one would expect from a real firearm. The entire model is held together by screws, except for the slide and mag which allows one to disassemble the entire thing. This also means that if the model jams, or if an internal part breaks, you can replace it without needing to re-print the larger pieces of the model. The list of required parts, printing tips, and links to materials are located down below.

 

This model was completed 6 months ago, and after getting my first Bambu printer and acclimating to this site, I have decided to post it for others to build. This is one of the first models I ever designed on Fusion 360, so if there are any issues, let me know and I will be happy to help. I am very proud of this model; it took me around 3 months to make, but I had to stop often because of school. It's a lot of fun to mess with and works great for cosplay. There are quite a few parts required, but they shouldn't cost too much, and all of them can be found on Amazon. If you want this model to have a working laser / flashlight, bother me enough and I might do it. I can't say for sure that I will post anything else soon, but if I do, I can guarantee the next model will have more advanced features.

 

If you don't have the parts, I suppose you can simply glue the whole model together. It still looks cool.

Tips for the model:

- There are a couple of things different in the picture. Ignore them, that was the final prototype. There have been some changes to make sure this model works perfectly, but the instructions should still work fine.

- To remove any confusion, to make a moving model, the two parts you HAVE to glue are the slide halves and the trigger halves.

- Gluing the magnets in place will stop them from rattling.

- Make sure the inset nuts go in straight to ensure that the model is sturdy.

- Print the model with 3-4 walls. This will help the insets stay put.

- The longest M3 screws are for the laser and the connection point between the front and the back.

- The one short M3 screw goes above the trigger (You may need another for the back end depending on how deep the hole prints as.)
