It has potential for other guns.

Looks like an M4/M16 nozzle. When I upgrade I will confirm. The head does look like an M14 one doesn't it. I need to confirm later.

Note that only the M3 was used in the ETO, not the M3A1. It shouldn't be too hard toback date the ARES model. I may do this at some point, either fabricating a handle or buying a real one. The reason they deleted it was apparently the M3 design had problems with the retracting handle breaking. Not sure on the details why.
