Building a Tank

[shinobidice]

SO have you decided on a [machine]gun turret, or more of a Main Cannon? If you just want a gun turret, you could take a tippmann/spyder, something cheaper that lays down some paint.

Heres My Idea. You could take 1 or two spyders (used for example) connect them together somehow (duct tape, jb weld, clamp etc.)

Yellow Dot: Plexy Glass Sheild with holes for barrel (clamped onto guns behind barrel)

Blue Dot: Somehow connect the two triggers to a dowel and the dowel, make either a square to pull the triggers, or make it like an H to pull the triggers. you could connect it to the triggers by attaching some kind of ring to the triggers like a keyring or so with superglue or whatnot.

Green Dot: Air Hose conenctor. My Idea takke an on off adapter for a drop forward that has air outlets on both sides, put hoses out both sides and attach to guns. THis way you could shoot both guns off one tank, but you'd need a 20 oz. You could also use a seperate tank for both, using the asa that comes with the gun/spare ones you have, but this would be easier dont you think?

Red Dot: A Dropforward conencted to something allowing it to swiwel around so you could shoot many ways. this area could be thought through more, its not exactly very cler how id want it if i had it, so you might not even need this. There are many more possibilities, like clamp guns to some kind of swiveling base (maybe off an old office swivel chair)

Blah im tured of typing, and i hope this helps

Or he could just put one hand on each gun and fire them both individually....thats what i did, and it's pretty fun cause if one gun chops and u have to clean it u can still unload with the other while you swab out the barrel.I used two low end spyder electros with 20 inch Stone Cold II barrels for looks, both were power by 12vlt Revy's and powered of individual 20 ounces. To stop chopping i set both guns on 5bps and with both guns going it had that THUMP_THUMP_THUMP_THUMP sound that sounded like a big powerful machine gun. I also had two PVC stocks coming from the gun platform that rested on each shoulder to give it the feel of one of the anti-aircraft machine guns on naval ships, it kicks serious @$$

you could have multiple espirits (im thinking like 6) all wired togther to one frame, this would make it much much easier to lay down the law, also you could stick one of those rotating office chairs and twirl around (yay!)

[ZyperioN]

couldnt do the single frame because the board cant handle the power needed to work all 6 solenoids.

[JonDaAzn]

would it be possible to do multiple boards activated by one microswitch then?

[ZyperioN]

Possibly, just have each board with it's own power and solenoid setup, then just run wires from your single switch to the box where you would store the boards and batteries, then run more wires to each of the solenoids of the gun, the gripframes would still have to be realively intact, or atleast enough to mount the solenoid properly
