Help a brotha out.

I'm trying to figure out how to get the railguns/ion cannons on the Hammerheads to not just slump down on the part to hold the weapon.

I'm thinking I might just put a bit of green stuff to make it settle better.

Any ideas?

O.K. here's what I did. First picture (hope it shows up this time) I just drilled & tapped the mount & gun for a 4-40 screw(you canget everything from most hardware stores) The 2nd was a little trickier I turned the gun on it's side. Then filled the hole with plastic card. Then used a piece of plastic I-beam, pinned on top of the original mount. Then did the same as earlierr w/the drill'in & tapp'in.

Oh by the way I forgot to mention w/the 2nd turret you also have to drill out the new bottom to fit in the I-beam piece. I drilled 2 spots for front & back & sawed out the middle. I hope this helps & the picture are good enough. Also I've used the screw method to mount rail-guns on the arms of my broadsides & glued them in the sockets of SMS arms & mounted them on their shoulders.

Try magnetise it so that the wrong sides are facing each other and that they are rejecting each other, that worked for my friend however the magents do have to be pretty strong

Both are awesome ideas =D

I've got two Hammerheads to work with, so I'll see what I can pull off. Gonna try it with the ion cannons first, as the railguns are what I'm REALLY wanting to use.
