Browning M1919, on air and on the tripod.
The first Anthem Armory build is a full-size M1919 that fires paint. A paintball marker core runs inside the receiver, an HPA tank rides in the back, and paint feeds from a pouch on the left side.

How it was built
Drawn in CAD first
The whole gun was modeled in Onshape before any part was made: receiver, barrel jacket, rear sight, grip and trigger, and the cradle that meets the tripod. Working from the model kept the proportions true to the original and let every internal part be placed before fitting.
A marker inside the receiver
The firing mechanism is a paintball marker, stripped down and fitted with a custom mount so it sits inside the M1919 receiver. On each shot, air drives the bolt forward to chamber a ball and then releases it down the barrel.
Air and feed
Compressed air comes from an HPA tank at the back of the receiver and is routed forward through a custom manifold. Paint loads into a pouch on the left side, where the ammunition belt sat on the original, and feeds across into the breech.
On the tripod
The gun rides on a three-leg tripod with aluminum legs, black hub brackets, and pivoting feet. The cradle swivels on a turntable for traverse and pins at the trunnion for elevation.
The shield variant
Now in CAD: a gun shield that mounts around the barrel jacket, with a larger box hopper mounted on the left side.
