| I was thinking about a gun that I could make with the parts and tools that I have to work with. I came up with the idea to make something sort of like a gatling gun. It would be like a revolver with an electric motor that the further you press the trigger the faster the motor spins. It would have 6 slots in it for a paintball to go in. then every time the spinny thing lines up with the barrel it makes an electrical connection which enacts a solenoid which hits the back of the co2 valve and shoots the paintball. Any ideas? |

it would have to the electrical connection would have to have a verrrrrrry fast reaction to work and if you found one like that itll cost allllooot of money: i say save your money and trouble and buy a firestorm crank for almost all guns for bought 40$ ------------- it isnt practice makes perfect, but perfect practice makes perfect and allways remember chicks dig scars |

| Its been thought of too many times and too many times it has failed and worked, but it will be too bulky and heavy to carry, unless yer in the plans of installing it on some type of paintball tank. |

If you want to spend some money buy a second cyclone feed system turn it sidways and mount it on the front of your gun(A-5)... You would have to stick some barrels in the plastic hooks and make some modes and then hook the rubber tube into the extra gas output hole and it should turn to the next barrel every time you shoot.I mean in theory this would work perfectly... but hey if any one trys this let me know how it works, thanks...

| I would do that because of the multibarrel effect(3 barrels)... that would be so sweet, would use more air though... which is a downer. |

This is a old idea... I Had one that was more practical that Ran off a Motorscylce Engine, and was powerd by either a Full Scuba HPA Tank or like 1000 12g C02 Cartiges... There would be 2 trigger systems... one would be a Throttle which would cycle the bolt(s), and Start Cranking the barrels, and the other one was the part in which the Gas opend up that would project the balls forward... and all the paintballs would be Belt Fed, maybe 3-6 balls per Cartridge area, and have a 1000 Cartirage space magazine holder... -------------
