The lightest gun in the world!!!

EVERYTHING unnecessary for a fast electro is removed. Eyes on the other side. It works like an E-Bolt, kinda. The body is a laminated carbon fiber body so it doesn't unravel during play, and is bonded to a "rail" so the frame can be screwed on. The frame is aircraft aluminum. It's powered by the batteries in your hopper. The barrel is the shortest reasonable length (8" IMO). All the air hosing is inside the frame! Carbon fiber won't hold the pressure, so thin aluminum sleeves are inserted insid the tube of the body.

Seriously, if you can make it lighter and more compact, let me know!

 

Yeah, it's ugly, but in a performance stance, it's the perfect marker!

Size kinda depends on how the gun works.

Does it run like an Ion?

Originally, E-Bolt came to mind, but I think an Ion-like design would have been better...

Give me a few days to come up with specifics. I may even patent it!

Exactly where you want! I have a habbit of supporting the tank with my non-shooter, so I'd rest it on the Stab. For others, I guess I could throw in a skeleton foregrip...

the grip needs a back to it...  honestly, it has to be comfy .  also, make a y-grip version..  see how it looks.

if you made a diagram of the internals, i think you could trim off some unneeded carbon-fiber... 

also, i have an idea in my head... and it rhymes with pet jeropultion

No back needed. The only thing that touches the back is the thumb, and there's a solid groove for that. There's also a pad for the fingers of your shooter hand to rest on the other side.

...jet propultion.....  but between the fuel tank, and the two thrusters, i ran out of room in my computer screen... 

but a serius idea, ditch the stablilizers and use a regular asa...  that would save weight...

If it's going to be based on the Ion design, it needs an HPR.

You may need that pad on both sides when you switch hands.

You are correct sir! I'll add them in later.

Yeah, that's what gave me the idea. I saw the Mini and said, "I bet I can make it smaller..."

Ditch the hopper plug that has wires involved and put these plates on the inside of the feed neck and plates on the outside of the hopper. They would probobly be smoother (not stuck out so much) and a thicker feed neck would allow wires to be fed through. same with the hopper neck.

Stole yours johnnyCunuk but im canadian and I love the pic!
