I was just at Scenario Dreams website and was interested in some of his projects so i though you may be to.

Some of the pics didn't work but it may just be my computer?

Bolt Action

They both have 1/4" nylon spacers on them to allow a smoother sliding. Plus having a steel screw rake along aluminum would cause problems by cutting into it.

Now the parts start coming together. Below you see the bolt inserted into the re-cocking plate. And the screw inserted into the plate to hole it together. As you can see, the channel will allow the bolt to rotate. I was pretty proud when I figured that out.

I've inserted the bolt into the frame. The tapped hole is lined up with the "L" channel. Double checking your meaurements is the key to getting it right.

Finally, I screw in the re-cocking know and the screw that pulls the hammer back. I lost the original screw, so I just bought a new one.

Here is a GIF of the final working system.

Next, I drill and tap the holes for the weaver rail so I can install a red dot. you have to make sure you drill the hole exactly in the center of the marker. Otherwise you won't be able to line up the dot with where you're shooting.

And here is the weaver installed. Depening on how my other projects work, I might install a scope. We'll see.

Next I modded the feed port for our new Sniper Paintbullet. Using my mill, I milled out a larger opening that will allow the paintbullet to drop right in.

After completing the testing the opeing for a good fit. I manufactured a special feed tube that will allow the paintbullet to drop right in. Its simply sheet steel folded to the right shape. Then I soldered the ends together to hold it solid. Later I will mill a couple viewing holes so I can see how many rounds I have left. and I need a tension spring to hold the bullet tight.

Then to test the fit with a couple paintbullets.

Here it is installed on the marker. Needs a coat of paint...

After finding a old cheap rifle stock on Ebay ($5.00 with shipping) and taking a wood saw to it, I have my stock. The Red Dot is installed in this pic. I've also installed the 12g CO2 holder. I decided to go CO2 because this will be for sniping. And I really hate remotes. After testing, we'll see how it performs...

On the reverse side of the marker, I installed an aluminum plate. It give the stock a little more support. Otherwise, I ran the risk of breaking the wood. A little metal paint and she will be perfect.

"Snipers" Paintbullet

After years of players asking about if its possible and years of wanting to actually do it, I decided to dedicate a little time to developing a true paintbullet. I'm a big Scenario players and I've played a sniper on a couple games with my 98 with a flat line. But as we all know, the physics of a paintball make being a true sniper next to impossible. Most paintball "Snipers" are actually just regular players with ghillie suits and the skills of a sniper, but not the ammunition. Here you will find any information I've posted on my progress at making a paintbullet. Or at least as close as one can come.

I'm not going to go into the physics of why paintballs are horrible in terms of accuracy and their other limitations. Instead, I will let you research. There are two things that I have concentrated on: 1) better aerodynamics of the ball and 2) better long range accuracy.

A sphere is one of the worse shapes in terms of aerodynamics. Second to a brick. So first we need to change the shape. There are a couple options avail. First you could remold the paintball into a typical bullet ship (pointy tip, flat tail) Second, you could make more elongated to allow for better air flow (round tip, flat back) And third, make a teardrop shape.

I really hope the paintbullet idea works out this time.

It's pieced together pretty well. The overall idea is cool. I think with mrore time, a cleaner looking model could've been made.

Does he know the Military and Police allready use a paintball with fins on it for training and non-leathal fire arms?

Saw it on the military channel or Discovery like 2 years ago. Maybe try searching for pepper spray paintball?

I remember now. I saw it here in the forums, did a search and found http://www.tippmann.com/forum/wwf77a/forum_posts.asp?TID=123619&KW=pepper+spray - THIS .

I don't know if by your you mean me? or the scenario dreams but if you meant me i didn't do any of this. I don't have enough patience.

And for the link its just http://www.scenariodreams.com - www.scenariodreams.com

Nice ideas but the finned paintbal has been done.  For mockup they just glued the fins on.  Obviously this wasn't the most secure way of doing it but it was good enough for testing.

Tests found the fins did provide more accuracy with a slight increase in range but the problem was not design.

It was usefulness.  Almost every field said no way to the fins because of the possibility of injury.  Loading and robustness were not even addressed because of this one major hickup. 

If you can overcome that, then you may have something.  Remember, while you can aim better with them that doesn't mean you'll have anything other than a head to shoot at sometimes.
