It is indeed, it's about 12cm long, without the blades!

Looks good so far Stuart. When I was at Ft. Hood, Tx those things were everywhere. Every now and then I'd see one armed with a couple of rockets. Awesome stuff.

The 58 is just a bit larger than the 6. But they are both in the same size class.
