Yet Another "Half-baked" Concept

[anomoly40]

I can't wait until one of them throws the gun in, Tank, hopper and all.

I hear lawsuit.

[jade_monkey07]

one kid threw his invert mini in and forgot that there was a magnet imbeded in the frame that controlled the HAL sensor(or something like that) now his gun doesnt work... Roflmao

[going_home]

Leave it to PBN to come up with something like that.
I think we would actually be disappointed if they didnt come up with something once in a while, thus proving they are what we thought they were.

I honestly would like to know how this came up in the first place...was someone really mad at his marker or something? some fat guy really hungry? "are you gonna eat that? uh.. mr. Griffin thats a stapler. Waaannnaa split it?" ...lmfao

Haha, I was just thinking that.

[SR_matt]

it probably came from people leaving ther guns in their cars during the summer and the ano slightly shanging over time so some one thought "hmmm i could do it faster"

there is not really anything that will get messed up as long as you remove all the internals and electronics. worst that could happen is you could strip threads a little easier because you would temper the metal down a little but the tolerances should not get messed up at all

So heres my attempt at it
i used a stock tac-one barrel that had no change

and an evil driver barrel seen here


it now has a brownish orange tint to it


and if you look at it in the right light and angle its got a "cracked" sparkle to it


its more orange then the pictures show

Well. I'm bored....

So I decided to go around my room looking for random paintball parts that i dont care for much.

Found some random silver feedneck, two cci 12 gram changer, one red/silver wash, and one blue/black wash. Also found a red 10 round feed tube. And last but not least, I went sharpie crazy on my twist-lock boomy. Everything is in the oven at 450*F and it's going to sit there for about 2 hours while I go play Team fortress 2 and study a bit for my math final.

So what do you think would happen with polished parts?

[senghing27]

$100 bill will be growing from the polished parts

[jade_monkey07]

lol nothing happend to the polished parts at all, except the cracked sparkly look

[jade_monkey07]

check back every once in a while my evil driver only took 30-45 min to do, i just left it in to see if it would get much lighter

You know what? I'm gonna try it on some parts that I had planned on getting anodized anyhow. I mean, if I don't like the outcome, ano can fix it, right?

[Lomarandil]

Now, may just be me, and I never did read that PBN thread.. But I'd be worried about parts which are holding back high pressure (ie body) being weakened by this process. Anyone with better knowledge of the strength of 6061 who can comment on that?
Lo

Although, I have to say it looks dang sweet. I always wanted that bronzish color.

[SR_matt]

the pieces that hold back pressure dont have to be very thick at all, and if they do get weakened it wont have a catastrophic failure. a friend tried to get some cocker bodies machined from scratch that were very light and milled, the bodies came out to thin in some places and they got small tiny leaks in them nothing very dangerous.

this process if anything might make the reservoirs be stronger since by lowering the temper of the metal they can move more before breaking
