Well it did say it was 15 inches long and that is how long my Denix is plus it looks exactly like my Denix right down to the brass colored bits.

Makes a great battlefield accessory, just add the gun shield. I see it's a bit more money than when I bought one many, many years ago. I think it was $88.00?
The gun barrel is solid in the event anyone wants to do some modifications and make it battle ready.

For those who cant find it look under military collectables .It's on the 2nd or 3rd page I think. 
And I also know that it is the exact same gun. The barrel is in full recoil just like mine. You can drill through the barrel I did it. You just need one of the long 12" drill bits. They are only a few dollars at the Home Depot or Lowes.

Glad to know your happy with it. I need to make more, all out.

I have a few projects in the works, one is using some infrared detectors to automate an antitank emplacement, when it detects an object it will fire a series shots for a set amount of time. Similar to the way my ultrasonic setup works.

I also have a prototype modified FOV tank (1/24 scale) that drives around my battlefield by itself. My plan is to have a few of these to battle on my own when no one is around. So it's sort of an autonomous battle tank, when I get a few issues sorted out I'll post something on the website. It would seem like it wouldn't be much of a challenge but with the terrain, right speed and using the wireless camera to operate my tank it is fun!
