    When Shooting Fast - Why Cycle?

    Okay it's 6:07 and I had another idea in the back of my head. It's reguarding guns and their capable ROF. Once again, I haven't slept so go easy on me.

    Gun's like timmy's, angel's, and NME's have insane ROF's but in these cycles there are an assload of parts.. o-rings and what-nots galore.. all to make this gun capable of cycling fast.

    I figure if you want to fire uber-fast.. why cycle when you're feeding 25+ bps... if you're shooting lines why not have a regulated constant airflow.

    of course then.. chop chop chop because the ball gets half way down and the airflow chops it.. so there has to be SOMETHING that cycles to make sure the ball can get down before flying forward. Well, why not a timed valve or even a sealed shutter of some sort that can be either electronically or pneumatically operated? Preferably electronically so timing is easy to adjust... thus the gun doesn't always have to be shooting fast. If pneumatically controlled it would have to be timed like an autococker to use various ROF's .. but maybe a simple turn of an allen wrench could do it.

    Anyways.. with a constant airflow.. when the shutter closes.. pressure will build so I think the input pressure needs to be regulated and calculated so that the proper output pressure (pressure on the ball) is reached after the shutter opens and the higher pressure (slightly) air is released.

    So you're wondering... why replace one cycling part with another? easy.. this one is way less complex and easier to cycle

    MS PAINT TIME!!! I'm not going complicated, or using any specific's.. I'm just drawing the basic idea in laymans terms.

    your idea kinda reminds me of the epic paintball marker..

      not sealing breech means major blowback problems as far as i can tell.

        If I am reading what he said properly, he wants is so that a ball just drops into a chamber and then a bust of air propells it foward, without a bolt moving to seal it. I think this would give you insane ROF, but you would need somethign very strange to regulate the airflow, because the higher the ROF, the less the velocity(if it works by closing a valve and allowing pressure to build up).

          This has already been done. The Epic, and recently the Alien from alienpb.
