This is a pack of remixes of Hoffman Tactical's Orca Handguards. Essentially, these are his tactical handguards, but with full length bottom picitanny rails, which should allow you to mount an underbarrel launcher such as Stubbs' Pipe Hitter 37mm launcher on your Orca build while maintaining the same DIYability of Hoffman's original tactical handguards. Yes, this includes both short and long versions, and yes, these are remixes of the textured handguards.
The picitanny rails kinda remind me of a Helicorpion's teeth, hence the name.
Also, if a launcher is installed, the ergonomic advantage of the lowered, iron sight incompatible, top rail the tactical Orca handguard was originally designed may be negated. For that reason, I also included versions of the Helicorpion handguards with iron sight compatible top rails.
Version A is incompatible with irons.
Version B is compatible with irons.
This is in Alpha testing, which means I have not been able to fully test these designs myself for safety and functinality. Instead I have decided to have the public do the testing, since this design seems inherently safe enough for me to release to the public without me fully testing it. It definitely goes against the Gatalog's standards however. More details are in the spreadsheet.
To ensure I can update data and instructions easily as needed, I decided to organize test data, testing and manufacturing instructions, and test result submission instructions in an online spreadsheet rather than providing a ReadMe in the downloadable zip file. Everything you would need to know is in it.
