A little preview for the good little boys and girls of AO:

Printed in red because it helps hide the blood.





You guys ever get the impression that I can't stand playing with hoppers?

[going_home]

You need to bring that contraption to Dreaded Legends next month.

Friday is mag fed day.

Ah, but you see, therein lies the rub.

The rules are arbitrary, and some would consider this gun to not be "magfed". And they would certainly not consider the way I would use this system "magfed".

Don't look at me; I'm not part of that crowd and never will be.

Needless to say it wouldn't do to travel half the country just to be subject to some capricious ruling entity.

I prefer playing in open rules anyways.

That is pretty sweet. I've looked at box rotors and thought about milling a mount for one. They are just so expensive

[going_home]

I asked about using a spring feed on mag fed day and got approval.

Picked up a BT SA-17, if I go for Friday I'll use it or the Sydarm.

The SA-17 is a pretty cool pistol once I picked up a dummy CO2 12 grammy and made it constant air.

That looks awesome! Nice job.....very ingenious design and use of parts. Is this something you're going to print and sell?

[knownothingmags]

you are killing me.
every time I see your stuff.
I want to start making again.

but I cant.
I don't have my printers

Nah not going to sell these. Going to release it as public (partially because it is chewing up a large chunk of my free space on Onshape). Trying to figure out the best way to attach a license in Onshape. Doesn't seem like they thought this aspect through very well.

Also bear in mind this requires a warp left classic mag and a matching barrel adapter... so just like everything else it kind of fits into my "system".

Lol, very cool man....btw, good seeing you at the field yesterday. They actually allowed us to play on the same team Lolol

[captian pinky]

is it expoxied in place?
any mounting screws?
you mentioned that it needed a warpleft body but would a hopper right powerfeed body work?

I think, bow it looks is, the piece fits in the warp hole, and is possibly sandwiched between the body and rail. Thus not requiring any extra screws to secure it. But the progenitor will have to chime in on exacting details.

But for mag fed, what ever floats your boat. Many things in this game are not for everyone. I am fine with the 200rnd hopper, yet love to dump paint when i can. I love to shoot. So if it works for you, so be it.

Yarly!

Saturday was awesome, but I paid the price:



DE AGONY OF DE FEET!

Still getting the the videos uploaded; it's like 5 straight games of me being a failure, including 1 game where I am hand-loading paint into my q-loader socket at the 50.


Design:



The cowl doesn't actually fit into the "warp hole", but extends into the warp cutout in the rail. That's what prevents it from sliding in the axial direction. I also put an inner ring in there to pass a zip tie through, and that's what secures it to the body; probably hard to see in the video because I used a red one. The zip tie goes all around the body/rail/gripframe and sits right in front of the front grip frame screw so it's actually pretty out-of-the-way. No screws anywhere except for the mag release mostly because I'm lazy. Hence the strapping tape to hold the 2 halves together. No epoxy. Splitting it in two makes it WAY easier to print with FFF.

This won't work with anything with a feedneck on it, or any ULE bodies with that big square section around the chamber.

Not to say it can't be made to work with other body types, but it won't come from me.

I'd say the design is mostly feature complete except for 2 more (possibly mutually exclusive) things I want to add. When I was playing with the detents in the cocker adapter, I noticed that the shape I used also functioned pretty well as a one-way valve. So I want to add a detent in there to prevent the balls that are already in the feed path from falling back out when I change mags (expecially for a mid-mag change), which is kind of a pet peeve with me.

The other thing I want to add is a view window to see paint status in that feed path, but unfortunately that would sit right where I want my detent.

You twist that left ankle ?

That looks like at least a month and a half of limping to me.....

Yeah I got a lot of limping ahead of me. It's a wonder I made it through the day; laced my boot up good and tight around it.

The sad part is it didn't happen in the field.

I sprained it just walking back out to my car, because I FORGOT HOW TO PARKING LOT.



So uh... back on the part. Since putting a viewing window is going to be kind of inconvenient, I think I'm going to try printing the entire back half with transparent filament. Transparent isn't really transparent, depending on how you print it, but it might just be transparent enough for me to look inside and see what's going on. I'm already splitting the part to make printing easier, so I might as well make use of that "feature".


knownothingmags: you have any advice for printing with transparent filament to get the best optical clarity? 100% infill?
