It started with some inspiration from the video game “ Army Of Two ”. The main characters use weapons equipped with shields. I thought these gun-shields were an innovative, if not entirely practical, idea.

After having completed the above, I thought adding a stowable bipod would be a nice feature.

Before long, that idea changed to giving it vehicle-mounted capability.

Mounting via the rear hitch receiver, it has a vertically adjustable pedestal.

I went the quick route, not fabricating a true pintle/cradle or T&E.

The inner pedestal tube allows 360 degrees of horizontal traverse.

Elevation is from horizontal to vertical, but with no adjustable/locking elevating arc bracket.

Who likes picking up brass?

I added a 50cal ammo can/cradle to catch ejected shells and a 3” ABS plastic chute to direct them from the weapon into the ammo can.

Wearing a respirator, I heat-formed the ABS to better interface with the ejection port and clear the C-mag.
