Wouldnt it be cool(i know this isn'y deep blue language) if there was a paintball gun that had no bolt? I know about the epic, but a 9bps limit is kind of a bummer to most serious players, and with a 600-700 dollar price tag you gotta get a fast ROF. my idea is really simple.
If i could get funding (fat chance you corporate scumbags. no, not you AGD) it would use a normal sear tripping electro trigger frame, and instead of it moving a sear, i would take that who part out, and use that electronic signal to open a valve, and that would be the initial valve. the air would then go through an internal reg, and shoot the paintball. Now, that would be the intital concept, but in that, i would use an intellifeed-type concept to open a latch (think gated feed, but it doesnt let paintballs in) and let a ball in the chamber every time you fired. i would use a dual ball detent, and there would be a very, very tiny delay in between the time of ball release and the time of air release.
i know this is an improvement on the EPIC, and dont flame for "ripping off the EPIC" or, ill kill you. but seriously take a look, i know someone who has access to practically every tool you could imagine, and i think i can make this happen with enough work. But think, there would be minimal problems, minimal o-rings to replace, and with the internal reg (AGD, gotta give you credit) and an adjustable tank it would have incredible consitency because the ait wouldn't have anyhere to travel after released.
im also thinking maybe a dual valve with an internal reg with a valve behind it to give it air, then another valve holding air, and after that it would shoot the paintball, a better idea, but more complicated. ill get sketches up soon if you guys think its a good idea.
