still awsome though



*cough* be awsome for a compact version of this agd *cough*

I don't believe the last one included a video, mabe Im wrong though. I did post a video request in it, so mabe nate was responding to that.
EDIT: when that guy gets that thing firing paintballs, he better bring that to shatnerball (if thier is another one for I don't know).

why would he bring it to shatner ball??

Space the final frontier ?

because its the final frontier

i want to see it with paint. i see a massive blender in the near future

[Dark Side]

Yes, but if he got it to work......

Doubtful.

Think about the radial velocity induced on the paintballs....

And he's using some custom firing mechanism/bolt. Should just use something off-the-shelf.

Why not just strap 10 IONS together and have them fire sequentially?

Because then you'd have 10 aiming points. With a gatling style set-up you have a single aiming point which shifts as barrel velocity increases (the shift is in the direction of barrel travel). Once the barrel assembly has "spun-up" the point of aim is relatively consistant. Also, with multiple sequential firing barrels (like dual M2 set-ups) a point in space should be designated for the paths of the bullets to cross, or at the very least have soem method of alligning the barrels so that they'd fire parallel to eachother so the space between the shooting barrels doesn't get any bigger.

Besides, gatling guns are cooler than fixed sequential fire systems

EDIT: I have this to say to the nay sayers in the room "Hell Hound". If Tippmann can do it, why not some guy in his basement who looks like he has some skills in a machine shop?

couldnt u make something that rotated fast, have ions w/ no grips, and something like the pulse uses to tell the loader when to load. u can have 1 grip, the bodies spinning, and the trig could send a bluetooth signal, but instead of sending it to the hopper, like in the pulse, it sends it to the bodies. u cold then have some kind of sationary hopper, that only feeds paint to one, so the others, with eyes, dont shoot, unless its their turn in the cycle.

jsut an idea. prob wont work, but i think the basic principal, with some modifications could.

[SlartyBartFast]

Because then you'd have 10 aiming points.

Which, IMO, would all overlap considering the wonderful consistency and accuracy of paintballs.

Did the Hellhound every actually work?

[Sam5992]

i think it worked for a while, but then the drill stopped working, so it no longer spins. i think
