hwagan Posted November 5, 2013 Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 That is actually a really good idea, but it's dependent on the airsoft shells being designed to the same specs as the real ones. I don't have any .357/.38 brass on hand so don't know myself. Nothing's out of the question. My main issue so far, actually, is that the spread is too tight for the room-clearing I'd like to use it for. It's beautiful at 50-75ft, where the spread is a little under two feet in diameter for a sure hit, but at 25 feet or less the extra BBs are redundant. I plan to test how a shorter barrel affects it. Assuming there's no hop, what about mixing BB weights? .12, .2, .12, .25, .2, .12? Not sure if it'd necessarily give much more of a spread but it might be worth a try?

TnL Posted November 5, 2013 Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 I think youll find this is the simpler solutionhttp://airsoftcanada.com/showthread.php?t=158623& Oh look at this, a stupidly hot CO2 revolver that can't be used at any field. Wait, those aren't the normal shells. Forget tri-shots, these are hex-shots, using a burst of CO2 to blast six BBs out the muzzle every time you pull the trigger. Forget six-gun, when you can have a thirty-six-gun. When you absolutely need a room devoid of life, accept no substitutes. ...Next up is replicating them in plastic, preferably with rims, so I can make thirty or so and keep them on speedloaders.

CatgutViolin Posted November 6, 2013 Report Share Posted November 6, 2013 I think youll find this is the simpler solution http://airsoftcanada.com/showthread.php?t=158623& Thanks for the link. Simpler, perhaps, but I'm not sure about easier. If I can get plastic tubing of the right size, that'll be a piece of cake to produce large quantities of shells. Also less likely to get them mixed up with regular shells. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted November 6, 2013 Report Share Posted November 6, 2013 what about mixing BB weights? Works pretty well actually even if just between .20g and .25g I get almost double the spread on my 6" Serbu. Uniform weight normally does a foot spread at 20m. @CatgutViolin You can look up .38/.357 case schematic dimensions online if you don't have any at hand, but I recall the Win Gun shells are very close if not directly compatible. With the snake shot rounds I made for my Mateba using real .40 S&W brass, I used sections of 6mm tube from aquarium hoses as the bb holder. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TnL Posted November 6, 2013 Report Share Posted November 6, 2013 (edited) for the record, .357 brass is VERY tight in the winguns chambers, too tight to insert or eject easily and my solution to "getting them mixed up" is just ot have ALL of my shells bored out ;p (I've done nearly 80!) not like i would ever NOT want multishot, and even then i can just load one bb into a shotshell if you can make some plastic ones thatd probably be best, those metal ones id be worried about tearing up the breech seal Edited November 6, 2013 by TnL Quote Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted November 6, 2013 Report Share Posted November 6, 2013 Did you try virgin brass or once-fired? The latter, and depending on brass quality can expand enough to actually impede loading and extraction, why revolvers have ejectors in the first place. Also, if you tried live ammo, the crimp on the case can cause some hangups too. May have been virgin brass where I read it to be a good fit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TnL Posted November 6, 2013 Report Share Posted November 6, 2013 (edited) yes its been reloaded a few times, still fits fine in a .357, but needs to be hammered in and out of a winguns chambers federal brass if that matters Edited November 6, 2013 by TnL Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Murdoc Posted November 6, 2013 Report Share Posted November 6, 2013 This idea is great... I want to buy a HFC "S&W " copy and do the same... I know it's just 350, but may I can turn it to CO2. So I could shoot with green gas at 350 fps with "single" shells, and with CO2 the "burst" shells... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted November 6, 2013 Report Share Posted November 6, 2013 Not a good idea unless you plan on regulating the CO2 first before it's pumped into the gas tank or replace the gas system entirely. HFC revolvers aren't known to last very long on their own and there's a good 600+psi difference between green gas and CO2. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Murdoc Posted November 6, 2013 Report Share Posted November 6, 2013 (edited) Yeap downregulating, hence the madbull charger (and regulator) cost too much... I remembered, that it's cheaper... Edited November 6, 2013 by Murdoc Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jez Posted December 8, 2013 Report Share Posted December 8, 2013 This is what happens when I get bored On a side note, is there a holster that will fit the maurshin? Sent from the toilet whilst having a dump Quote Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 It's an Anaconda as far as the gun goes, but the barrel is made beefier especially with the rails on and you'll likely not find one that fits all of those things attached. Outside of a custom made holster, it's generic nylon holster for large frame revolvers at best for you, or look for scoped handgun bandoleer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
