Just an Idea!

[Devil]

I've been thinking! Someone needs to come up with a warp like back or chest pack...something that feeds balls like a reverse vaccuum into something else that pushes them faster into the gun...

...my idea is like a flat revy on top of gun with two ports, one going into the gun, and one coming out of the flat revy and into a tube that is positioned over the shoulder and into the top of a bag that wroks like a reverse vaccuum...

....I'm not very knowledegableabout stuff like this, and everyone is saying that I'm stupid and it would never work, but I think it could with a proper setup!

The thing is, that the balls coming through the hose would have to be constant, but slow enough that it wouldn't break the balls, then once they were in a flat revy big enough to hold a fan to speed the balls up as they went into the gun, then I think it would work...

...also another arguement is that when switching sides to shoot, that the hose would be in the way...but I think this issue could also be dealt with...

...if I had the tools, I would try it, but I can't right now...so, does anyone agree or know how to experiment with it or even just know where I could start to get something to try out and play with the consept??

Like I said, it's just an idea!

some one already invented a back pack that porced paintballs down a hose into the gun through compressed air... il see if i can find the stuff about it... it never made production though

EDIT ^ ^ ^ Bah..he beat me to it..

Hm..how about...It's already been done?

I'll try to find the article. It's on warpig someplace.

.. cool, get the link to that thing.. cause I'm the one that finds it hard to see it... 8-)

[Devil]

ohhh...ok...thanks though...I'd like to see what went wrong with it and why it's no good!

Thanks!

The ProMag 600 feed system from Xtreme Paintball has been a few years in the making. Sgt. Splatter fans will be tempted to call it the Auto-Lotto-Balls. Using a proprietary ball sensor system, the ProMag feeder detects the absence of a paintball at the feed port of the paintgun, then unleashes a burst of compressed air (from the self-contained compressed air system) to carry a steady supply of paintballs from the backpack, down the hose, to the paintgun. In a demonstration at the Zap Am Open shooting range, several hundred paintballs were fired through the system even with the paintgun held upside down. There is no scheduled release date or pricing, as Xtreme Paintball is negotiating with various manufacturers at this time.

Back players dream... no more pods!

that thing must sux.. cause I haven't heard alot about it...


big and heavy .... I guess... ..

It's from '97 If I remember correctly. It looks like that proto worked, but they couldn't find anyone to buy their idea.

[Devil]

...aawwww...to bad I wasn't big into pb then, I would've worked with it...
Thanks!

I still want one!

[boomerfoxtrot]

well, like I said.. it seems to me, like a backpack full of paint, and an air tank would weight alot, and isn't something that would be more hassle the good...

I'll stay with the Dye Attack packs... they work good for me....

[Devil]

silly moose...the pack would weight about the same as a regular pack...just no refilling during games...I mean, look at masta wang...he has a whole case on his back during one game...it'd be about the same thing...

...I would also like to put a remote on my gun and get a pack to put my tank in it...for me, it's all about less weight in the hands, and I'm decently strong, so it wouldn't kill my back!

[boomerfoxtrot]

*cough* .. strong?

hehehe.. *giggles*

[HoppysMag]

dont make me seperate you two! lol

[Devil]

I said "decently strong"...

I can kick your rear...that's for sure...remember...Tom told everyone about the incident in SC where you "hurt your shoulder in bed"...remember!!!

hehe

i always had a thought of what a game would be like with basically unlimited paint and air, and fully automatic guns for every1...

That would be a cool idea just to have like a 3 on 3 game once. have like the biggest tank you can find and have the backpack idea with as much paint as u can carry. o and of course...guns on full auto

just kinda a dream
