Possibly new product from OTB?

They'd be awesome for cheap electro blowbacks, no need for eyes, and no worrying about choppage.

OK call me pesimistic, but I want to see the bolt shoot a ball not just how gentle it is on paint. The video determined that it will not chop a ball but will it fire a ball through a barrel, ie. 12 or 14 inch barrel would suffice. I have not seen this brought up yet and would like to see a video demonstrate this.

people have tehm, they work, also, you do realise that the bolt does not propell the ball, a blast of air does that.

[Thermus]

The spyder owners will go nuts over that!

[kenndogg]

do they make one for a spyder or bko? I would get one for both if they did.

[SpecialBlend2786]

nice idea. are there cocker bolts available?

[Danman69]

I know they make them for bushys and BKOs not sure about oher guns.

[TheTramp]

Good concept, looks like it might work, but I have a few worries. In the case of excessive pinching, couldn't the tip become deformed?

This is exactly what I was thinking.

[68magOwner]

they are out, there are no problems, stop worrying and get one

[1ofkind]

I dunno, those bolts are going at what 50000 fps? At that speed I think anything would chop a ball, but then again look at the lvl ten.

Wow, some people really can't obviously read....the bolt is out, it works, and thats about all.

Hey don't be fresh, thats your opinion.

68magOwner its already out, looks cool, clear tip, junk like that, dosent really stop chopping, but does help prevent it, comes stock in rat imps

Anyway I've used lots of antichop bolts, forinstints the one on the dragonfly. Bolt has a spring installed inside of it which preforms like the lvl ten. I used a 200rnd viewloader got lots of sprays, but there was just a dab of paint on the bolt after the game was over.

Just want to add to my point before 1ofkind I dunno, those bolts are going at what 50000 fps? At that speed I think anything would chop a ball, but then again look at the lvl ten.
I forgot what space shuttle it was but they belived a piece of styrofoam did it in. And yes they did do test and it appears the foam could have puncharded the heavy metal shuttle at fast velocitys, get what I'm saying...

Here's a well done review on the Blind bolt. I've only seen it for Impulses at but someone above said they make it for ICD guns as well.

Heh. I got a chuckle out of that.

Bolts don't go that fast. There's a thread somewhere where someone said the speed that a LX and L7 bolt go... but I can't remember.

Keep in mind, You don't need a terribly fast cycle speed to fire most of these markers fast. The Automag bolt moves maybe an Inch or such...

Let's assume, for a moment, that say the we have a 10 FPS bolt, and the spring returns it at 4 FPS. These are just totally imaginary numbers.

At 10 FPS, that's... umm... a hundred twenty inches/second.
4 FPS return... about 48 inches/second.

Now, this is where I realise why I failed calc 2 twice, because I'm not sure how to make these numbers quite illustrate my point, aside from, if you look at them, and consider the bolt is traveling 1 inch, you can easily get over 20 cycles/second, at these slow speeds.

[Automaggin2]

Well, I have a question....

Would that bolt be able to withstand high rates of fire? Being flexible, wouldnt extremly high rates of fire cause it to warp and distort?
