As a lot of you guys know, many of us have plans for our projects in 2009. Most of my projects however have been put on hold for a number of reasons, but now I've got a few things you can expect from me in the new year! Including;
Testing of the blow-through-forward valve for the X-ACS (finally!);
Reviews of A-10 and Eurofighter EDF R/C jets;
New blowback design for airsoft machine guns;
Design for an on-the-cheap tank (really an armored car, no tracks);
Epoxy piston gun;
And much more!

I may build up a YouTube video for my channel if I pull enough of my ideas together, and if I can get the money (or better yet, a used golf cart or go kart) I might even build my tank!


More to come if anybody shows any interest.
Completed projects:
CA1 SMSS Basic Inline
CA3 PDAB Airburst Cannon

Current Project: Bolt action rifle (25x140mm + 1in shot)

Nice topic! Some really interesting things you've got going on there.

My spudgun new years plans are as follows:

Add a stock to the Gauntlet of Clara Ann as well as adding a super secret upgrade.

I also want to design a golf ball burst disk cannon.

Last and probably not going to happen, I want to try my hand at pneumatics.
I void warranties.

The Gauntlet of Clara Ann

I'll probably find other items of stationery to convert into weapons as the year rolls on :roll:

I also haven't given up on my quest to achieve dakka-dakka-dakka full auto, have some parts on the way so watch this space :)

I could make a list, but I am better at making lists rather then completing them, as I do alot of research before building something, and by the time I finish research and designing, I encountered something more awesome I want to make.

But I will show you my devastating toy soonishly after I get my fridge compressor connected so I can post it with a damage vid firing marbles with 30-40 bar.
Till the day I'm dieing, I'll keep them spuddies flying, 'cause I can!

I guess I can slip a little... There isn't much to tell, because these are very complex and time consuming in the R&D department.
As usual, no promises, but still very real possibilities.


- A GOOD bicycle pump. Completely homemade; not that crap you get from walmart. 250 psi max.

- Finish up the version 3 of the piston hybrid (did you know about version 3?:):) The silhouette was in my sig for a while. It has already been fired at 5x, but I'm rebuilding some parts I don't like. Will be between 11 - 12 pounds, normally run 8-10x and produce over 1200 ft-lbs.

- HBBMG. Preliminary tests show it's going to have some problems, but the prototype is nearly done and I think I can work around them. Will hopefully be capable of supersonic velocities.


- Maybe a semi /full auto combustion if I have time. Self-contained of course.

It's just that the thought of a hybrid BBMG is so beyond my imagination I couldn't actual get my head around it :?
