Halo- *UPDATED* MA37 Assault Rifle

My updated rendition of the MA37 Assault Rifle from the video game "Halo". I wanted to revisit my first rendition of this foam prop since that version was built early in my fabrication years.
I first drew out the template of my revised prop, which now measures at 3' 5" long. The main body of the prop was built out of EVA foam with a steel rod in the middle of it acting as support. The "ammo" magazine can be removed via a magnet strip located within the gun. A replica ammo counter was fabricated with acrylic plastic on top of the gun as seen from the videogame. Lastly, a functional LED flashlight was mounted to the front of the gun. The paint application was a mixture of gun metal grey, black, and silvers. Weathering was done to give the prop a more battle-damaged appearance.
I fabricated 5 replica MA37's simultaneously to sell at Big Lick Comic-Con 2022
Total pieces (per gun): 40
Total build time (per gun): 5 days
