Command & Conquer: Renegade AR-70 Raptor

AR-70 Raptor — the automatic rifle from Command & Conquer: Renegade, hand-painted as a 1:1 lifesize prop. Olive green and dark grey panels, edges worn down to rust red, and a black drum magazine under the receiver. We build it from PLA and airbrush it by hand in our Bavarian workshop, 76cm end to end.

The Raptor from C&C Renegade, on your shelf

In Renegade, the 2002 shooter set in the Command & Conquer universe, the Raptor is the rifle GDI and Nod infantry carry into every fight. Ours keeps its blocky outline. A long carry handle runs over the top to a round rear sight, vent slots line the fore-end, and a rust-red plate sits on each side of it, held by four screws. Round knobs stand out on the receiver and the fore-end. Below, the ribbed drum magazine is black, with silver showing through where it's worn. The pistol grip is ridged, and the skeleton stock ends in a large buttpad. Both sides are painted.

A hand-painted Command & Conquer replica

Every Raptor is finished by hand in Bavaria: made from PLA, airbrushed, then sealed. The rust, the scuffs and the silver along the edges are all paint, layered on until the rifle looks like it has seen a few campaigns. The scale is true to the game, but the finish is a hand-painted interpretation of the in-game rifle, so yours is its own object rather than a printout. Built to display for years, with free shipping on orders over €100.
