"Helga" - The Bastard Spawn of a TM 5.1 Hi-Capa and KJW KP06 "Xcelerator"


Operator: 
Nick "Hodor" Gilliam & Brendon "BEARD Actual" Wright

Details:
So, my buddy Nick and I were sitting around bored on a Wednesday night and decided to take inventory of my giant-box-o-gas-pistols. We had a (mostly) working Xcelerator lower, and the hodgepoged leftover parts of several TM hicapa projects. The idea struck us, why not just chop the Xcelerator frame down to give it that "operator" look on a 5.1... A little dremeling and rummaging later, we have this working monstrosity:
