Viking Animation

[Pneumagger]

Does anyone know if a viking animation exists. I ran a search of AKAowners, but found nothing.
I'm curious how they work.

Do not quote me but I think someone said it is a stack tube rammer side by side with a third tube for the bolt and a couple of strange things done to it that make it faster.

[Pneumagger]

All's I know is that it pulls 1400+ shots fom a 45/45.

It works just like low pressure Angels.

Ok...take an ego

Put the LPR on another tube, remove internal qev's

and you have a viking

Too late...

It is actually not a rammer, such as a Timmy or Ego. Rather, it uses a ram to propel a hammer into the poppet valve. It is very similar to an Impulse, just much more refined. The third tube is, essentially, the largest volumizer you will find in paintball. It stores air between the LPR and solenoid and makes up the entire left tube of a Viking.

The Viking uses no hoses, only milled air passages. There is no manifold as seen on Cyborgs. Very low shock loss rates compared to some other makers. Excellent flow rates.

My viking doesn't have a hammer.

I didn't see it listed here but they say it's similar to the Angel?

if I had a hammer

My viking doesn't have a hammer.

A rammer is what you find in an Ego or Timmy or Cyborg. It is comprised of the actuating rod, which directly hits the poppet. It takes up the entire bottom tube. So picture the internal rod of a cocker ram hitting a poppet inside the same ram.

A hammer is connected to a ram and does not occupy the entire tube. So picture a cocker ram with a weight on the end of a rod.

Two similar ways of accomplishing the same task.

Aren't the hammer and the ram the same piece?

Well the ram and hammer are really the same thing ona viking, the hammer is actualy red lock tited onto the shaft of the ram, and propelled forward to open a pop it valve.

basicaly its a 1 peice cartridge when assembled.

Hope it helps, and if I can help any more I will

I made the mistake of taking my viking apart once...
Messed up the LPR and then needed to spend $65 on a toolkit to fix it...
From now on, I'll leave well enough alone, unless it breaks and I need to fix it. But so far, no maintenence needed whatsoever, and it works flawlessly. So I'm happy :P

[Ydna]

yeah, they're really designed to avoid complete disassembly whenever possible.

[Pneumagger]

what happens when an oring needs replaced? I imagine this needs done once or twice a season.
