"Turbo Barrel"

[MagMaster2]

Actually I don't think that this idea would be ileagle because it is only ileagle to silence a firearm. since paintball guns do not (under normal circumstances) travel over 500 fps they are not considered actual firearms. I am confident of this because in canada you need a valid FAC to buy firearms however you can buy paintball guns and air rifles which are not capable of exceeding 500 fps with only a drivers license. I therefore conclude that this Idea would be very ileagle on a real gun but not on a paintball gun. A paintball gun would be compleatly exempted from this law.

PS. I don't know how you guys think of this stuff.

I have way too much free time. I sit at a desk all day and mostly think of paintball ideas. I even have a notebook full of just paitnball ideas.. most yet to be developed and a lot that would prolly never work.

Just make a turbo spool for a gun somehow and you've got an easy way to conserve air...

Thomas Edison once said, "Just because something doesn't do what you planned it to do doesn't mean it's useless....Reverses should be an incentive to great accomplishment. Results? Why, man, I have gotten lots of results! If I find 10,000 ways something won't work, I haven't failed. I am not discouraged, because every wrong attempt discarded is just one more step forward.... There are no rules here, we're just trying to accomplish something."

Christopher Titus once said:
I do not fail. I just succeed at finding things that do not work.

ah.. ok. It's not as good as Edisons but... o well.

I wonder exactly how much air really does come out of porting of a barrel. Tom might have to adress that in a tech tip or something.

great idea

Allright, here goes...think, what is the quietest, lightest, cheapest and simplest way to propell a paintball besides throwing one? The slingshot of course!

Now the only concern besides accuracy is keeping up with the firepower of modernday paintball so here's what I propose, a slingshot system in which there are clips in essence, or rather bunches of wads of ten rubber tubes with a ball aisfixed in their centers. The "clips" could be poped on the slingshot's fork for rapid reloading. Accuracy is not an issue, as a gen3 moonlight day/night scope could be mounted above the slingshot and intellimotordirected by a laser rangefinder with preshot preperatory infared range and scope adjuster.

See that enemy behind the bush? No?! Good thing your slingshot can! Whhrrrhhhrr, the scope adjusts to the distance of the target..his toe pokes out almost unnoticably from the bush.~~silent release~~BAM! He's out!

uh.. yea man. Good for you.

heh

i still dont see what would make the air go thru the porting instead out of the end of the barrel. i like the sling shot idea if someone makes one of those i will buy it as long as there is a mod that you can put it on a tripod and control it remotly
