shadow Posted December 25, 2004 Report Share Posted December 25, 2004 Thanks for the website btw, interesting to get some desent pics of the internals and a hint into how they work Link to post Share on other sites

Fixxxer Posted December 26, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2004 I could get GBBs and use a motor for a boys guns to turn it. Link to post Share on other sites
shadow Posted December 26, 2004 Report Share Posted December 26, 2004 Well you guys twisted my arm, i am making a prototype actually, although im unsure if it will work, i am mainly doing it for fun on the off chance that it might be a success Here is a piccy of what i had in mind, in my eyes it is much more effective than a load of gbb's. I will admit im NOT talented on paint too Take a look: Link to post Share on other sites
Connery Posted December 26, 2004 Report Share Posted December 26, 2004 Oi, when you're done, why don't you mount it on the back of an indestructable jeep you can flip with the greatest of ease, paint it green, and call it a Warthog? Link to post Share on other sites
bullzebub Posted December 26, 2004 Report Share Posted December 26, 2004 it might work .. or it wount .... hard to tell from the pic , because its almost impossible to see how you thought ... :-( Link to post Share on other sites
shadow Posted December 26, 2004 Report Share Posted December 26, 2004 How i thought what? Yes i think it would be THE sweetest thing to own a Warthog. I only found out from my friend the other day that they actually steer with all four wheels, hence its so hard to steer. Anyhow, id like to here what you guys think, what would be the least reliable part about the gun? I would think prob the loading of the bb's. Link to post Share on other sites
shadow Posted December 26, 2004 Report Share Posted December 26, 2004 You see as the barrels rotate, the co2 hose is against the metal, so no gas can escape, but when the barrel spins round and alines with the hole, gas can pass and the bb can be forced by the co2 through the barrel, ones this is complete it has to wait for the next barrel to spin round. Its hard to explain but i might try a describe it better using paint....anyway thanks for the input! James Link to post Share on other sites
Fixxxer Posted December 26, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2004 If it does work you could extend the back and put a hand grip with a trigger on it. Link to post Share on other sites
shadow Posted December 26, 2004 Report Share Posted December 26, 2004 Yer, trigger for motor and trigger for solendoid (for co2). One sweet mofo James Link to post Share on other sites
bullzebub Posted December 26, 2004 Report Share Posted December 26, 2004 it might work ... but the hard thing is to seal enough and not get so much friction ... and that would be hard using that system ... but ... if you are going to use a solenoid ... why not make that control the gas for the barrel too?

shadow Posted December 27, 2004 Report Share Posted December 27, 2004 Thats a good idea! Link to post Share on other sites
happy_cake Posted January 10, 2005 Report Share Posted January 10, 2005 ok, i'm not too sure what a solenoid is but i get the feeling its like some sort of electronic valve? i was thinking, right, if you had contacts either side of the barrel and either side of the gas, when they contact that works the solenoid to release gas, is that what you've got planned? sorry, i really dont have a *beep* clue about this... its a cool idea though, scratch built miniguns... you'll want it quite compact though, right? maybe you should investigate using ABS or plasticard to build it, if you wanna do it properly. ok so it may not be as durable as metal but i wouldnt want to lug a metal self-built minigun around, plus you can fix plastic quite easily, it'll reduce strain on any joins, not to mention yourself, and on top of the weight of the gun you've got to consider all 3 airsoft consumables- bb's, gas AND a battery... what about a metal skeletal frame with ABS panels? that way, you can get rigid support for large, heavier components like the motor, and at the same time you save the weight of metal panelling, and its easier to paint... just a thought! good luck, its a cool idea, hope it works out for you Link to post Share on other sites
shadow Posted January 10, 2005 Report Share Posted January 10, 2005 Sounds sweet, thanks for all your help. What i wanted was a tiny version, that could be used instead of a claymore, just use a motion sensor, sit it on top of some stairs etc and your done Link to post Share on other sites
Longhairedhippy Posted January 10, 2005 Report Share Posted January 10, 2005 you are also going to need a regulator to manage the gas pressure. as for the feed system, you may want to locate someone that has one already and who is willing to take very detailed pics of the internals. the original miniguns were notorious for chewing up BBs if everything was not perfectly in order.
