Pics of the tenative mounting position:
Side view, would be as if sighting down the marker:

I hope this clears some things up.

Check, and check. More of a side mount, I suppose. I am trying to keep it in line with where standard hoppers are mounted now, along with being backwards compatible, to make this idea as palatable (sp) as possible. I think I have some pics of the relationships. Of course, if you want to mail me a marker, that would drastically speed up the process... |

I think you have your work cut out for you. I think you will find that you
will not only have to mill the inside of the adapter to allow passage
of the projectiles, but will also have to ensure the adapter is the
right length (in relation to the projectile width) to prevent binding
between the projectiles and the feed cylinders.
On a related note, do you envision this to eventually be a side mounted, or more a top mounted magazine. |

Correct, as I said in my opening statement, and at least one other time on Page 1 of this thread.

Okay, since this drum seems like it could also be used for normal paintballs, I'm going to assume you mean that you don't want to alter the marker to where it would no longer work with a hopper. Is this correct? |

Right... Why is there always just "the only way" to do something? Edited by The Innkeeper - 02 December 2006 at 6:17am |

Drum as chamber. Avoiding it because it would ruin the marker for normal paintballs. |

Look at the FN-303. That is exactly what it does, and it is exactly what I am trying to avoid. |

Or modify a marker to accept the drum feed in the same way the Thompson submachine guns did.* It would require either a longer bolt travel (to push the projectile forward out of the magazine and into the chamber), or a strengthened magazine where each separate location for the ammo actually acted as the chamber (like a revolver cylinder) during operation. *Whoa, that's a lot of dremeling!

Feed elbow, Mk I: I went a little overzealous on the tooling, and the upper channel is a bit much. I have another, or I can get some epoxy clay and retro fit it. On that note, since I don't have a large selection of tools, I could use the clay as a smoothing agent for finishing. Bottom view:

Paintballs get jostled as they slide down the feed. As long as they stay faced, its not a problem. Also, there will be some spring tension from the magazine that will prevent them from getting obnoxiously out of kilter. |

But the thing is going to get jostled going down the feed elbow.

Something about not bringing your own bullets to a combat zone. I got things taken care of, don't worry.

I have to mill the feed elbow to a shape that lets the 303-type ammunition load into a marker breach. It's not hard, but i have to keep taking measurments at work and then bring them back and work on it here. It's time consuming, and annoying.
