    alternative warp placement

    After about six hours of playing around with my new compass, my lucky ruler, and a big ol' piece of graph paper, I almost convinced myself to pick up a Micromag, a Warp Feed, some Kydex sheating and other assorted junk and explore this idea...

    In my 1:4 designs I placed the Warp Feed centered under the front of the marker with it being fed by a forgrip style removeable loader capable of holding around 150 rounds. Sort of like an ATS only with a mag's AND a Warp's reliability. This setup would disallow the need for a CA drop-forward in order to stabilize the balance of the marker, as well as improving a Warp-setup marker's left to right balance and significantly slimming down it's profile.

    I read that the Warp feed can really feed at phenomenal rates, just the production versions are limited to 13bps or something? Correct me if I'm wrong. So my thought is if the Warp could be significantly reduced in size, say instead of being capable of "straddling" 14-16 balls(??) at a time, to only 6-8 balls to make the wheel smaller. This way it could be run at its FULL potential to make up for its lesser capacity, and could be incoporated integral to a marker's design.

    So basically a Mag made for its Warp, not a Warp stuck on the side of a Mag. Drool, skepticize, tell me why my idea won't work before I buy a bunch of stuff and make a fool of myself, whatever . peace

    I don't think you should integrate the warp into the marker. I think you should integrate the warp into a hopper... LOL, then everyone would be saying warppy insteady of revvy...

      Brilliant, thanks for the technical advice and critique.

        AGD is already on its way to integratingthe warp into a hoppper. They have a patant on a design that incorperates a small belt into the bottom of the hopper, feeding balls dows its throat. Tom said they wouldn't look at production for several years though.
