Does anybody know of a decently large, black, semi-G1-style gun that would fit in DIA (City Commander mold) Commander's hand? Ultra Magnus has his gun (the City Commander large white G1-style gun), but DIA Commander unfortunately has no such gun add-on that I'm aware of.

Basically I want something that looks somewhat similar to G1 Prime's gun, but on a larger scale that would fit DIA Commander's hand. The BFG is way to big/blocky for me.

Thanks

The closest I have seen a to a G-1ish style gun was the upgrade set from igear..It was a cheap set but got alot of complaints. Being brittle (especially the flag) and sort of felt cheap.

here's a link so you can see what it's like. You can still find some on ebay but im sure the price is ridiculous

Thanks for the tip

.

I did find one on ebay for around $70 US + shipping from the UK, but that's a bit pricey even for me.

I realized I had a gun that would work quite well with a bit of modification. I used the gun from Orange MP Prime, all it took was a bit of grinding down on the handle so that it would fit into DIA Commander's hand. The colors are perfect. The blue in the gun matches DIA Commander's chest and legs, the yellow paint apps on the gun match the yellow on his feet/legs and the silver goes well with the silver stripes on the arms and hips.

So now he has his big (but not BFG big) G1 style gun and it looks AWESOME

No problem. If I can find a UM I will try and grab one for you.I deal with alot of sellers and Collectors so Im always coming across figures folks need. I know how hard it can be finding one for less than the cost of a Organ LoL..
