Now that would be a sight to behold... it'd end up being
the size of a small shopvac, but that'd be neat!

What we need is a good R2D2 sized pod b*** which runs
along behind you with a couple cases of paint inside...
that'll fix other people's gripes about the amount of
balls the q holds

You'd look like Vulcan Raven from Metal Gear Solid. LOL

I think its pretty sound, and don't expect any major changes in the near future other than what you said, better loading, better mounting.

Hrmm...I had to jerry rig my pod pack to hold my pods, I need to find a pod pack that doesn't require wd-40 to get the pods out.

Another note:

I think having a much larger capicity is easily feasible. you could basicly get your 5 pods and mount them to one device that would be on your back. It would load one pod, when that ones done it would empty the next and so on. You could have valves to prevent balls from going the wrong way and make them empty one pod at a time. Of course you would need a long tube to connect it to your marker.

yeah the pack thing is another big problem lol need a new one or something bleh


EDIT: quick question when they say to prewind it 8-16 times or something like that do they mean full 360 rotations or every time it clicks?

[JT2002]

look in the manual, what does it describe as "prewind" just a guess

[Glickman]

lol clicks dude, 8 360 degree turns would most likely make the balls travel so fast on insertion of the pods that ull have ball breakage up the yin yang

I hope they have something like that in the works that would rock! You would have like 200rnds in the tube from your back to the marker.

it just says prewind it lol

anyway good because i did it with clicks i was afraid of not doing it enough or something if it was full turns lol

[yaddatrance]

I do 11 - 360 degree turns, that's how they came shipped
(When I took them apart the first time, I carefully
counted the prewinds) and that way it feeds quickly even
to the last ball. The range of prewinds as shipped ranged
from 10 prewinds on one, 11 on three and 12 on one.

Be very very careful to make sure the stopper ball is
all the way at the top, otherwise you could break the
feed cup if it is allowed unspools all the way while
empty.

I believe their recommendation was 6 minimum 360 prewinds
and 15 max...

If you do 8 clicks, then it won't be able to move very
quickly on the last few balls. As I have it configured,
when I'm almost done, I rapid fire which lets it shoot
half my stack up vertically so I only have 4-5 balls
left in the stack. That's also when I change pods because
due to the width of the stack tube, you're not
always going to be able to remove a half-full pod (without
jiggling the stack)

im confused so its winds or clicks because i have mine at like 14-16 clicks at the moment lol

[yaddatrance]

That would be about 2 1/2 winds... I count the revolutions
of the handle. I had the same questions as you originally
and spoke with Kirk about it.

[trains are bad]

Mine just shipped! But my feed tube fell off

[orpheos]

I wound 14 full 360 degree turns. That's what I understood in the directions that they meant full turns.
