El Beast - Initial design phase, comments and critique welcomed!

I believe I could make the 80mm work, although it would need new plate ordered for the side arms as the stock I have isn't big enough). Problem will be finding somewhere to buy it - have sent an enquiry to ITEM and to another place, will see what comes back. In the mean time I can continue to work on the design as it only really changes the side arms... will run both ideas and maybe look into simulations to get an idea of differences if I can wrap my head around it sufficiently well to simulate a fairly complex construction.








Oh and just printed out a shield belt clasp to see how it would come out - seems to be good, can pull on both ends pretty hard and no give
