I'm testing out some alternate weapon barrels for my Suppressors, any thoughts one which you prefer?

(I can also make them available to people if there's interest).

I think C looks best, but needs to be nudged down just a wee bit to line the barrel up.with the ejection port to satisfy my.gun mechanics OCD

I think C is the least bad. But none of those options are improvements on the base model IMO. But I seem to be in a tiny minority in actually liking the Suppressor models as-is, so my opinion is worth exactly what you paid for it.

I like C, but I do enjoy the stubby nature of D, it feels like a bolter weapon.

Option cleaned up and primed for better pics. Based on the majority of feedback from FB I'm having this one printed and it'll be available in about 2 weeks. The short barrel option D is currently available on the website.

Same Red Dog Minis autocannon barrel fitted to a standard heavy bolter for that rotary cannon look.

Here's the barrels fit onto the other havoc heavy weapon bodies, super simple conversion just a little trimming and clean up with a file.

There's 2 heavy bolters & 2 autocannons in the box which along with the 1 reaper chain cannon you could manage to convert a full squad of 5 gunners. You would need to source some additional shoulder pads, and one extra backpack if you want to convert the champion but it's an easy way to bring a lot of extra dakka power without dropping for multiple boxes.

My issue with the Heavy Bolter version is that you have very large bolt shells on the ammmo belt being feed into tiny little bullet holes. Could you cut the belt off and add an ammo-hopper from somewhere instead? More like the loyalist version, in other words.

My thought too, I mentioned it in his news and rumors thread, but since you mentioned an alternative feed, that could be a nice add on sale. Or I think Zinge Industries sells flexible ammo feeds.

Wish I had seen this thread before I bought a second box of havocs. Still, I think I'll try some out.
I see the issue with the heavy bolter ammo feed, but using the autocannon instead feels lacking with just the ammo drum.

I did a bit of resizing to the original part and also did two new options. Leftmost is the original right is the resized version along with the new styles.
