Mouse, Maker. Maker, Mouse.
The BCAM Universal Pump Chassis is a seriously bada** multi-caliber pump-style firearm that uses off-the-shelf AR15 parts.
If there was ever a contest for “Most Neapolitan GunCAD Release,” the UPC from Black Cat Aircraft and Manufacturing would be front of mind as a candidate. Boasting a surprising collection of compatible cartridges, including a wildcat with no official SAAMI specs, this one’s got something to offer everyone, regardless of taste.
An experienced dev and valued member of the Black Lotus Coalition, BCAM is one of GunCAD’s many open and proud transgender voices, exemplifying our long-standing tradition of amplifying the Signal no matter where it comes from.
In The Wild
Technical Specs
The files are designed to accommodate PLA+ as a minimum. Durability may vary depending on selected print materials.
Documentation is scarce with this release, despite its relative complexity and scope, and not much information is available across both Odysee and DEFCAD, but the file package does include a how-to video filmed by BCAM that demonstrates how the pieces all go together.
It should be noted that the video features BCAM building a UPC in .50 Beowulf, but assembly does not seem to be affected significantly by cartridge choice.
The design is meant to support standard AR-15 parts and can be made compatible with the following cartridges:
- .223 Remington/5.56 x 45 NATO
- .224 Valkyrie
- .25-45 Sharps
- 6.5 Grendel
- 6.8 SPC
- .300 AAC Blackout
- 7.62 x 39
- .338 Spectre
- .450 Bushmaster
- .458 SOCOM
- .50 Beowulf
