Airsoft Auto Idea!

[thrasmussen]

What if you made something like that full auto marble gun but with a piston that resets itself and also acts like a bolt for loading? I think that this would create a nice rate of fire while saving air pressure.

They've been made. I think pimpmann has a couple designs on his site. Try to post in the right section.

Yeh I know I posted in the wrong section.

[Velocity]

I made one with a simple gravity feed mechanism and a 3/4" piston housed inside a 1.25" tee valve. I plan to upgrade it to a bolt system within a few months

A QEV, a relief valve and a piston/bolt on a spring to reset it.

Hmm... I've just had a great idea for a full auto and possibly semi-auto design that would fire one pellet at a time instead of a vortex/cloud bb hose spray.

The QEV gets pressurised, the relief valve triggers it, a sprung piston with a hole through it is shot forward to close off the ammo feed into the barrel and the pellet already in the barrel is fired from the airflow through the piston.

A spring behind the piston pulls it back and allows another pellet to fall into the barrel as the QEV and relief valve recharges and fires again.

That would be full auto. A semi-auto mode would need a 3 way valve of some kind to switch triggering from the relief valve to something to manually trigger the QEV.

That the idea! Hotwired.

good idea i get it it would definately work, if u can come up with an idea to get it to switch over to a manual trigger of some kind.

I'm gonna choke a bitch if someone else posts a non how-to thread in the How-To section.

[MrCrowley]

Then make it compulsory for each topic in the 'how-to' section to start with the words 'how-to'.

Try and ask a question when it has to start with the words 'how-to'.
Only problem is people might make threads like...
"How-to mod a sprinkler valve" and then in the topic they'll ask someone how to do it.
