After a horrible pilot's license medical exam involving a random testicle exam... I got home and found my new but ugly gauge waiting for me.

So here are the first pics. Better quality pics taken outside to come, internal pics to come, and maybe a video. (requests also)

It is still really choppy and hasen't been cleaned up yet (as you can see from the close-ups) This is hours upon hours of work and trial/error.

(PICS AT BOTTOM of page)

(still a bit rough)

Good thanks to all who helped but special thanks to karll for all he did to help me.

Well I custom modded it

Put in a micro-switch with a roller and flattened the back of the trigger.

Plus it is fastened to be tight to the trigger, so yes it is walkable but not to extremely high rates of fire (exploring other trigger options) the e-bolt is capped to 13 bps anyways so it doesn't matter until I upgrade the board and ram.

Nice one!

I would definitely like to see a vid once it's up and running.

Well the camera flash made it damn ugly so here are some better pics taken outside:

And some internals:

As you can see, one of the main goals of the mod was to be quick strippable as much as possible. Be prepared, the dremeling, superglue and glue gun makes it very ugly on the inside.

The board:

Custom trigger job with roller:

Ram:

I would have posted a vid also, but my take has a leak and the air drained out.

AME? Maybe its an American only thing.

And MeanMan, I have been asking myself that very question for the last few weeks.

On the upside: It turned out amazing, and better than I expected, it is damn fun to shoot, and It is one of a kind.

Bad though: It was pretty stressfull, cuts and bruises, tons of money to do it...

So I don't have a straight answer... the stress of it not working is gone so as of now, it feels like it was worth it but if you had of asked me a month ago, the answer would be a definate no.
