My Hair Triggered Pneu 'Cocker

[Badger]

Hey Guys.
I finally had some time over the Long weekend up here in Canada to finish this project.
I've taken the mechanics of a PneuMag and adapted it over to create my version of a Pneumatic cocker
Thanks to Mag79 for his kit: Mag79 Kit
and all the resources I found here.








I had a chance to test her out for the first time on the field Monday.
All I can say is "Wow!"
I was easily keeping up with the electros on the field.
The trigger pull is as light as the original Select Fire WGP E-frame. The Magnets aren't necessary but it gives it a nice quick return.

Spyder's Fasta 18v boasts 30bps but since it is not a true force feed loader I was easily outshooting it with one finger.
As a newbie to swing frames I'm could barely walk it with any rhythm.

Who could imagine? I need a Prophecy to keep up with a mechanical cocker.

I intentionally used a Mini Rock LPR which has a larger air chamber providing me the the extra air volume.

... Hmmm... what to do next? Maybe a Slider version? :P

That is the coolest use of a trilogy frame I have ever seen, lol. Lets see some video !!!

[Smoothice]

Thats pretty cool. Good job!

As asked over on MCB, what actuates the 4way?

[fishmishin]

There is a ram in the frame that looks to be run off of the msv-2, I think,lol.

Well there has to be 2 things in there, one for the sear and one for the 4way. I just don't know if/how you could set up one ram to do both.

I dont know what im more impressed with;

This project can only be done (easily) with the WGP SF frame.

The SF frame is uniquely designed with a Non-traditional sear and X-way plate linkage. The sear and the x-way plates are linked together such way that when the Ram hits the assembly it drops the both the sear and activates the x-way plate at same time.

A stock pneumatic Ram lives inside the frame positioned vertically so that when the MSV pressurizes it, it Fires the piston upward.

Here is a picture of the Festo Noid separated from the Ram.
The body of the Ram is made of Aluminium and the bullet-shaped piston is made from delrin.

Unlike Clippards MPA3, the stock Ram is very simple; no return spring at all. It's just the body and the piston with a single O-ring. You end up needing less energy to move the piston. An very cleaver design.

Yeah.
The body kit is actually fine. Everything else needed to be replaced.

I'm glad to see the parts worked out

Worked out better then I had expected.
Thanks again Mag79

You added more pneumatics to a marker that uses pneumatics to operate....genious! That is pretty inventive. I wonder what other markers we could do this to.

[Tekk]

Very nice

Is anybody else wondering how easily the Ram could be moved to actuate a mag sear?
