I was brainstorming today at school and I thought of a way to make a closed bolt version of a mag. It would have to be electronic, and most all of the parts used in current mags could stil lbe used in this new one. Okay hear me out on this one:
In order for it to work, you would have to do away with the sear. It wouldn't be necessary anyway, since the bolt would be closed the entire time. Now then, this would be the same as a current mag that uses the pressure of the gas to fire and close the bolt. Only, once the bolt reached the fully closed position the gas wouldn't be released, it would continue to hold off and keep the bolt closed. Another firing mechanism (valve of sometype on the powertube) would be used to release the air from the reservoir and when all of the gas pressure is gone the bolt will open. A solenoid would be used to push the valve's on/off to repressurize the reservoir and close the bolt again and start the process all over.
So here it goes in steps-
1. solenoid pushes the on/off, which fills the air chamber and closes the bolt.
2. firing mechanism releases the air which fires the paintball and reopens the bolt
The only problem is that it might have to use 2 solenoids in order to 1) toggle the on/off and 2) control the release of air from the reservoir. On the plus side, its a very simple closed bolt marker that really wouldn't be that much more difficult to make than an average mech mag. Even though closed bolt doesn't really mean that much anymore, it would still be neat to have.
It would even be easy to put together to. If I had a milling machine, I could make make a proto of this. But, I don't, and I can't. You could make this with 2 spyder noids, a morlock board, a redesigned powertube or powertube tip, and a special rail that can house the 2 noids. That would be the only special part of the out fit. I figured that it would be too difficult to put two noids in the frame so, if you made a rail that housed the noids you could possibly upgrade a mech mag with a kit. Just remove the sear and replace the frame, rail, and powertube and you've got a closed bolt e-mag!
