FOM and other great minds look at my gun design

what do you think? the back pack hold a HUGE hopper for paint, and has a revvy type device to stir them. From there they go to a warp feed, which pushes the balls up a hose to the gun. Also inside the pack is the gun body and air tank. Instead of using a bolt and barrel, we would make an adapter for ss hose. This hose would lead to another adapter, and part of an mag body, this is where you have the bolt and barrel. The air goes through the hose, to the bolt, and it fires. Now, how do you make it fire, it is electronic, any electro gun, or spyder iwth booyah will work, and you would just run the wires to a trigger mounted on a grip, any thoughts?? We want to build it, but need the money, any ideas?? if anyone can tell me, in very simple english how to link stuff to this page, ill give you a pic, but it says it is too big, need to link it, and in very simple english. I managed to make it on paint

First, heres the biggest broblem with your consept (as I understand it) if you are "firing" the gun from the pack, you have to add that long hose to the reciver into your air column. that means if you need a cretain air pressure to push the ball at a certain speed, you have to fill that whole coulm with that air. On a "noraml" gun this air co;umn is about 4" long-- you are making your 10X that- so you would use 10X as much air! How about 60 shots from a tank?

secondly , without a bolt, how are you going to load the paint- and keep it from just benig pushed out the barrel (your using a fource feed rember.)

I would rather see a more "normal" looking gun, with a hopper that mounts up tight under the barrel and has a force feed up to the body-- maybe even a bottom feed (would have to move the plumbing for the air to the side.)

Hey dosn't hurt to think stuff like this up!

another thing that i would be concerned with is if you have all of your paint in a backpack running through a warpfeed, if you break a ball in the back pack (which would probably happen with it bouncing around and having a tank near it) then all of your paint just went to waste and its gonna be a mess in your gun and back pack . . . . i may have just misunderstood your idea though :eyes:

we have thought about these things, and I think FOM is right, yo, FOM any ideas on how to make this work. We could use a smaller paint area, and it would be padded. Very comfy. Me and my firend were feeling wild last night, and thought it up, and I was afraid FOM would say what he saidHappy Holiday
