How do timmys work?

[A.T.S]

How does the internal action of a Timmy work? What are the difference between the 2002, Dragon, Gz, and Iron man?

[xen_100]

there is no difference at all..........all those different guns just have cosmetic differences. a couple have a different board that allows for a higher ROF, but the internals of the gun are exactly the same.

as for how they work. Just like any other stacked tube pnuematic. there is a hammer in the bottom tube that acts as a ram. a seliniod switches air to the back of the ram to fire and to the front of the ram to reset it. there is a pin in the bolt that connects the bolt to the ram/hammer. so, when the hammer moves the bolt goes with it.



that is for an impulse, but the basic idea is the same.

[A.T.S]

Thanks do bushmasters and angels work the same way?

[xen_100]

there are slight design differences, but basically they all work the same way. The bushy, timmy and the angel use an LPR to drive the ram. I dont think the imp does.

[A.T.S]

LPR? is that a low pressure reg.?

[xen_100]

yes, most of them work at under 100PSI. helps to keep the gun from chopping as easily.

[A.T.S]

I see. How does a cocker work? (Sorry I only know blowbacks and mags).

[A.T.S]

lol xen_100 we have the same # of posts!

[xen_100]

a cocker uses a spring to move the hammer instead of a pnuematic ram to fire. the ram is used to recock the gun and to chamber a ball with the bolt. as we all know a cocker is also closed bolt.



that should clear it up.

[Kevmaster]

yes. bushmasters, impulses, angels, timmys, tribals, vikings, and one or two others all work like a spyder...stacked tube openbolt junk

no, very good guns

however, a cocker is a whole nother ball game

[Vendetta]

I knew the Cocker was complicated, but I never knew how much. Does anyone know how many moving parts it has?

[xen_100]

looks like 6 or 7 to me.

A cocker isn't all that different from a spyder either. Its essentially a closed-bolt pump spyder, if you want to go that far.

All the stacked tube guns are essentially the same. Classic intimidators are made with re-milled Spyder (Millenium) bodies.

It's a tried and true design. Ever notice that a "Spangel", or heavily modified electro spyder, will perform on par with most high-end electros? The reason being, after all those mods, it essentially IS a high end-electro.

[A.T.S]

Lol we had the same # of posts. So in the cocker the trigger moves a sear releasing the hammer that is pushed forward striking the valve and firing the ball. Then the 3 way and "ram"(sorry do not know what to call the piston) push the bolt and hammer back. When the trigger returns to the forward position, the 3 way and "Ram" pull the bolt forward chambering a ball. The hammer is caught by the sear and the gun is ready to fire again. Did I get it right?

[A.T.S]

It seams that with a properly designed 3 way a cocker could have a reactive trigger.
