Me and a few friends got talking about having a paintball war, on snowmobiles, we were kinda inspired by the new call of duty. So we have 3 sleds, 2 people on each sled, 1 drives, and one shoots. But me being me, i had to throw in that the guns have to be home made knowing all my friends will put 2 pieces of pipe together with a ball valve and maybe if they get creative a breach loader. So i need to come up with a design that is semi auto. Trying to find something simple that isnt doing to take a long time to make.
First thing what kind of valve should be used? i was thinking use a sprinkler valve, or maybe a QEV?
second thing, loading mechanism. I was thinking of using some kind of simple sliding mechanism, only thing i am worried about is it breaking the paintball before it even leaves the barrel. If worse comes to worse i can just use a ball valve to feed them in, but i think it would be allot cooler to not have to do anything between shots.
Anyways, let me know if you got any ideas... btw, were going to have pretty much unlimited air (using some 12 volt pumps that will run off the sled battery)
