Half Life Alyx Pulse SMG Grunt version (currently without the magazine)

This is a Pulse SMG I made for my Grunt cosplay, this is not the same version that the player gets.

I will be adding the magazine box model and remaking the muzzle to have a hole for red LEDs.

For the big flat plate in the front I used a spare piece of furniture backing, I included a stencil for it, you need to print it in full size

Edit 04.11.22

I added better files for the front half of the gun - tank v2, plate with holes v2. They work with the old files that weren't updated. Also added a detailed stencil for the tank black details. I recommend transferring the stencil to masking tape because of the shape of the tank.

I added a led lit up muzzle red circle(it's the "pulse plug" ammo mag). It still uses the old "muzzle details" file.

Tips for the led circle

-Don't use more than 2 aaa batteries because they won't fit. use a battery box to get the battery connector thing - the solid part for the + and the spring for the -.

-Sand the part of the muzzle that comes out until the parts slide one from another smoothly. The paint will add a little thickness so make sure it's a little loose before you paint.

-Use one pair of magnets (near the holes in the bigger part) rather than two, one pair is enough to hold it in place. Use 5x5mm cylinder magnets.

-If you have trouble with taking the part out then you can add a pair of magnets in the free holes but with the same poles facing each other so they're pushing themselves apart.

-Use the holes in the bigger part to put two of your fingers and carefully open the led cover.

-The red circle isn't that bright so you can use a bit of paper to diffuse the light, you can use red paper so when the leds are turned off it still is red.

-Use some hotglue to diffuse the light.

-Use some car lights red foil to make the red circle.

Tips for the whole smg

-Use some wire to connect the main part to the "front plate with holes" to make sure they won't break apart.
