A electro with no hammer???

[tonysk83]

well im not big on high end electro guns and do no at all how they work but i no most of them have hammers, i no teh impulse does, but once again i have limited knowledge on electropnuematic guns soooo heres my idea, why no just have a solenoig hit open a valve pin, then there would be a spring on teh other side of the valve with a cup seal and onc ethe vale was open the spring would push the solenoid back and close the valve, or am i just saying how a normal electro works, because it doesnt seem like an impulse works like that http://www.kamworld.net/paintball/animationimpulse.gif anyways i drew a pic in photoshop

the only thing i dont no how to do is recock it:|

Because it would not work, you have to recock it, els you could have a electro pump on your hands :)

Actually,

That design works perfectly. You have just drawn the general design of the 2k2 Shocker from Smart Parts. Congratulations upon re-discovering one of the most ingenious and flawlessly performing designs in paintball. :)

lol, your a genius tony!

w00t, i would like to thank my mom my dad and everyone at pbreview, w00t:cry:

Umm the shaft of the solinoid would be the hammer, a much lighter one than a normal one albeit but a hammer nonetheless. Anyways isn't the matrix a hammerless gun, and the automag? THey just have a bolt.

[DasBaldDog]

The automag's hammer is the bolt assembly.

The Matrix has no hammer, you are correct. It is a spool valve.

hah i designed the same exact thing 3 months ago... as well as 1 other design i did which is really more simple... now if i only had a metal shop i may b able to make it

[Spartan 2]

SHHH... stop what you are doing before smart parts sues you! They must have a patent on it!

Its the type of "bolt" that the matrix uses.

[Sudden Impact]

Actually mags dont have a hammer at all...and nothing on it acts like a hammer...when you pull the trigger it just releases the bolt with all the air pressure behind it...

[DasBaldDog]

Perhaps I was wrong. I no longer work on mags because I no longer see a need to.

By the way, what is the TS number on your Shocker, Impulse or Maxflo cert?

[Sudden Impact]

TS number?

[DasBaldDog]

The Registered Tech Service number. Black number in the upper right hand corner.

Actually I'd love a pic of your certification forms.
