Can Richard Play Paintball ?

[athomas]

If he can manouver a gun with his arms, he is able to put the gun in a position to load it I assume. Put a bulk plastic container of some sort on his chest. Have a feed neck similar to a JT slammer pack on the bottom. Put a JT slammer feed neck on the loader. Now, to load the gun he just has to move the gun under the pack on his chest and pull up. The bottom of the loader will open into the hopper. When its full, pull the gun away and the hopper and pack will close. The gun will be fully loaded and ready to go.

Here is my idea pretty simple, just don't know how to trigger it. Have a back pack, and either A-funnel the balls to a warp or B have the warp suck in the balls and then spit them back out the other end. Run the warp lines on top of the shoulder straps of the backpack. Splice the 2 lines together and run them into the hopper. Very simple idea may be a little work to get it working though.

GOOD LUCK AND BEST WISHS

yea but you need speed, a warp would take too long. Unless you are talking about just feeding the gun period from the backpack. I like the chest idea, but if he fell...SPLAT!!...good ideas guys. And that is awesome that he got back into the game after such a tragedy

[unarmed ;)]

Thank you all for the great ideas and I just cant put into words how good it is to play again. Its players like you all that make the sport fun and enjoyable. I'v got to give Bob (The Angel Guy) alot of credit, without him,his wife, and a great friend Travis Boyd this would have been more of a challenge to accomplish. Through their hard work and kindness it became possible for me to play ball and hopefully compete in tourneys in the near future.

Thank You All,
Richard Stephens

First, WELCOME TO AO RICHARD!!!

ya'll should have seen Richard, he was grinning ear to ear after he shot out Travis! Yes he did get a kill! It was not given to him either, he held travis in his bunker and nailed him as he leaned out to snap shoot richard.

It only took richard a few shots to get the angle and range, then it was just a matter of time.

That was too cool! Richard is back! Just need to make a few adjustments and the game is on!

Very cool... You have my best wishes. If you guys do the the warp path... get the higher voltage warp setup, the web-site is spacing me right now but they are the guy that make the SFL's and such.

ROTFL!!!!! hahahahahahahahaha

Welcome Richard. Glad you can have a sense of humor about this. Love your screen name.

If you're ever down in Texas give us a holler, we'll put together something for ya.

Let's see how this works!

Hello Richard. I believe I have a working prototype that will go into a backback. I just gave it a try and it seems to work just fine. It holds approx 750-1000 rounds. The top (above the Halo/Warp combo) can be changed to something larger. The top has a sliding door for the paint. It has both a clear lexan face and a black ABS face. These are removable and interchangeable. (For cleaning, etc.) The Halo can be removed and disassembled for maintenance/repair. And of course, where would we be without the Warp?! This is awesome. In the last picture the tube had fallen out for just a moment and I had paintballs all over my kitchen. I'm guessing the weight of the unit without paintballs to be about 12 lbs. The size of the unit is approx 9" wide by 5" deep (front to back) and 19" in height (Warp and Halo included)I've never met Tom Kaye before but this warp feed is perfect for this! The only thing left is a longer length of hose and Richard! Check out the photos and ask any questions you may have. I expect to send this to Bob on Tuesday for tuneing and backpack fitting. Props to Scott from TheAngelGuy.com for the original mockup!
A skirt or covering for the warp/halo can be added

i havn't read all the posts, so forgive me if this has been mentioned already.

how about an air driven system?

there are scuba tanks small enough to be worn, or a "spare air" type scuba bottle may work. this could concievebly power the marker and the feed system. don't ask me how to make it, i just thought i'd throw that into the mix.

could electricity for a warp be generated by an air driven turbine? kind of like a hydro electric deal but obviously smaller.

could this generate enough electricity to give a warp with a larger or stronger motor enough "ooomph" to generate sufficient push to get the rounds to travel from a backpack system to a marker?

also, there is a product i saw at the cup last year for loading tubes which could possibly be converted to feed into a revvy then into a warp, or possibly straight into a warp. this product held roughly 1000 rnds with a hand operated gate at the bottom of a funnel neck. i'm sure most of you have either heard of or seen one and know what i mean.

a friend and i had kicked this around but we both lacked the knowlege tools etc to even attempt it. we also didn't think it would go over well with your average player, but in these circumstances.......?

here is my thought, its a backpack with half a halo in it (im thinkin tsa, its sound activated.) the halo would feed to a warp which would put the balls in the gun.
