Actually, I think M3 used to make a barrel like that for their old Black Dragun guns. I know I've seen it before. ------------- [IMG]http://i38.tinypic.com/aag8s8.jpg"> |

Hahahahahaha. Well... I guess you would be able to see any problems pretty easily. Maybe cut down on some maintainance time. Thats a pretty funny idea. It would be kinda cool if there wasn't those metal brace things on it like the one in the pic. Of course, they would probably want to use metal for the threads... |

Yea the one that didn't work (or so I heard). And like he got in trouble cause where he lived it was against teh law to modify "firearms"? 100% true story, I think I remember it right. |

The police took like 75% of his markers, along with some other poeples. That had to suck. |

the gelatyin from the paintballs stains the plastic, it will only be clear for the first month or so, then it get dirty. Plus the temperature REALLY warps them.

Do you think it would stain pretty much all types of glass and plastic? Or just some of them? |

Magnesium gun bodies. There's probably something horribly wrong with Magnesium, but I still would like to see it. |

Unless I was smoking crack through all my science classes, no, it doesnt. Magnesium does burn, yes, but VERY VERY brightly, it's what is used in flashbangs and fireworks. You're thinking potassium, which would be too soft in the first place. |

my zen vision has a magnesium body, semi scratch resistant and very strong/durably. and yes choop is right. potassium, lithium, sodium all burn in water, not magnesium.....

yeah but the reactions become more violent as you progress down the group. not to mention it get's a bit radioactive at the bottom. calcium reacts with water to form Ca(OH)? i believe. and a bi product is H? (hydrogen gas). but calcium merely bubbles. you can light the hydrogen as it bubbles to the surface. lithium reacts in the same fashion. but sodium is a bit more reactive and it can actually produce enough heat to light the hydrogen without use of a flame. and potassium is just violent. drop a little piece on water and it shoots away from the water. fun stuff not to mention, magnesium alloys are common in electronics due to the durability and scratch resistance. and because it is an alloy and not pure magnesium, it contains properties of the other elements present as well. -------------

that skeleton cocker doesn't look like it would work... as cool as it
may be. they should make a plexiglass c-3. then you could see the
propane explode  it would be funtime ------------- CPro (w/ polished internals) 14" Bigshot BT SBS Various Rails NcSTAR D4B Macro AA 68/45

| I've heard of people making acrylic Cocker bodies before. I think they've done it with Mags, too. |

Everything you guys have stated has been done before, except for plastic C-3 . None of it holds up to actual use. The milled cocker cycles but wont hold up to use on a field.
