AGD's "Less Lethal" FN303...

Camera and gun have only just co-incided so here she is...

First of all read the owners manual!!!



doh...

Second heed the warnings...



Trust me if you don't it hurts like ^&*( and it's remarkably easy to get your fingers in there... ouch.

Next make your own ammo... it helps working somewhere you can make anything you can imagine (and CAD model up...)

Learn rapidly that at 400...

Ok ladies and gentlemen what is it? First person to guess it right gets a cookie! and then maybe I'll show it in action... ...

Hi Guys,

I thought some of you that are more technically minded might like to see what the C&C Extreme's and the NC paths look like while I am programming them. Here is a screen shot

The dark lines are NC paths. This one is actually the second design. The pattern you can see on the side is how we got the aztec look, but that's not what it is here. Here that is just a quick way to rough off the extra material before the finishing programs (not seen). You can see...

OK so I'm back from the World Cup now and so after unpacking my camera tried to take pictures of the trigger for you all It's actually very difficult. This thing is so shiney that I just get glare and reflection off of it with any flash, and in the current indoor/winter night light I can't get any great pictures without a flash... But I took some anyway so you can see it and when I get chance to put it in natural light I will take some more. I had it in my z-grip but that's a bit battered no...

This is my back up... ...

Nice idea Mr Grumble but in reality you cannot start feeding the ball in that soon or closing the bolt so soon on a half fed ball. It's because of the actual shape of a sphere it's very limiting in terms of how far in it needs to be fed before you can start closing on it... I calculated it out years ago but to be honest can't remember my figures for how soon you could close the bolt without having a serious risk of chopping the ball... It made only a very small difference. I'll let some p...

Ok So quite a few people have asked me about where they can mill and how much, so what I have done is created some images which give you a better idea of where the material is and is not. I've taken the outside surfaces and made them translucent (I wish I could do that to people's clothes... but I digress). It takes a little looking at to understand but I hope it helps. You can see the ghost of translucent outer surfaces and then the solid colour of the inner surfaces. You can see the main va...

Mucho fun... Next on my list is a Lotus Elise for those summer days and windey country roads that we have here

proconnect! It's the best thing I have added to my guns since level 10! thanks a huge bunch to Tunaman ( [email protected] ) who got them for me (he can get them for anyone). You can't get them over here in the UK easily (I've certainly never seen them often here) but they are worth every penny. They completely solve the problem of the residual gas left that can happen with level 10 when you want to take the valve out and are easy to use. Nice well made bits of kit. Tunaman even had the spe...

Who's a pretty boy then?



I was playing with Ignition which has quite a few guys from AO, Brad DeWees and Rob 'Kilaueakid'. Had a blast even though we didn't do so well at this event. Great bunch of guys and as ever it was a pleasure to meet, hang out, and play with them.




Lots and lots of love to Dawn Mills for the pictures!!!

It was after a big soap opera moment... when Big Pete came and slapped me aro...

You mean this one...

It's really not that hard to do, just take your time and go at it carefully. It's an advantage if you have a mill at your disposal but can be done with hand tools. The hardest part is breaking through from the top of the frame so that you can connect to the circuit board in the grip. Screw the grip onto a piece of wood via the bottom line screws and then drill down into it from above. A drill press would help! The only pain is working out what to do with the...

I though it was time to resurrect Fight Club, but this time It's level 10 versus...

We've seen level 10 take on 2-3 bounce fresh paint, we've seen it take on TK's tongue... well now here

Shh don't tell AGD(E) but I 'scooped' some pics while I was there working on the C&C extremes this weekend just gone. ... Firstly we spent the weekend just sorting out how we would run production on the new extremes's, this means no new fancy gun pics to show you but you get to see my attempt for 'jig of the year award' It's a masterpiece... It should allow me to write programs from afar for AGDE and also fit all of the parts that require machining for the whole Extreme into one 'easy s...

OK so here are some pics from the UK indoor championships where Storm UK's pro team came second. I didn't get on the field to take the pics because the fields were small and paint intensive and my pain threshold was feeling low that day (aided by a big night the night before...)

Here's the diablo field...





Here are some pics of a prototype Extreme C&C in use...
