The return of the GlockPod!
« on: May 19, 2012, 04:55:17 PM »

Old school members here will remember my GlockPod, a RIS Masterkey mounted G18C AEP that I threw on my old M4 PDW. Well, I revised the mount a bit and threw together a new gun to slap it on. Started with my old gen 1 Echo 1 M8A3, which I've done a few tweaks to over the last 2 years or so. To get it ready for this, I put together a 7" barrel and the RIS off of my Echo 1 ER16. Topped off with a Noveske, it looks a bit like a Noveske Diplomat.



The GlockPod mounts up very simply using two thumb screws. The mount was made out of two AR carry handle mounts flipped so they're level with each other. When using the RIS mount on the G18, it will mount up to pretty much any other RIS. When attached to the gun, it functions as a nice little foregrip that happens to function as a full auto, low powered pistol.



There are a few really cool benefits to using a system like this. Say you're using a high powered DMR with a minimum engagement distance, and you get some enemies pop up within your MED. You can switch to your sidearm, which can cost valuable time that can get you out, or just pull your left trigger, popping a few shots off from your lower powered pistol. The nice part about the AEP G18 design is that in order to remove the fully functional lower pistol portion from the cosmetic slide, you just need to push the rear of the slide, releasing it. When using the GlockPod, you can then easily pop the pistol off of the main gun if you want to either duel wield or swap batteries.



Overall, it's a cool little thing to whip up, and if anyone else has thrown one together, post it up here!

It looks like it would be pretty hard to change the AR's mag when the Glock as the extended mag in ???

Nope, not at all. It clears just fine without ever touching the Glock or the mag.

I remeber the original. I laughed so hard when I saw the original but thought it was really clever.

Think about it... every time you pull the trigger the entire lower will fly back, not a good grip. NBB maybe.

That would work in theory. Since it holds the rail by the frame, the slide would move freely. Just make sure you have enough clearance to make it work.

Now, for the rifle to be put as an attachment under the glock...

Have we ever seen a 40mm under a glock before?

What are you smoking? That mount is designed to be bolted onto the rails on the front of the lower so you have a stable platform along the top to mount optics

tl;dr - it probably would work

I haven't seen that, but a buddy of mine opted to take a pistol adapter for a M203 and mounted another M203 across the upper rail, effectively making a double-barreled M203
Damn thing was heavy tho

Oop, Evike has a pic of something similar with the XM203s: http://www.evike.com/product_info.php?products_id=24887

Oh yeah... I was very tired about 6 hours sleep for one whole week, finals the next, and my guns have the rail as part of the upper. You would still make sure you have clearance from the slide.

Mine as well have been smoking  :-[

This is awesome.  ;D
I think I'm going to try this with my KWA MP7 mounted to my Echo 1 SCAR-L...
