ED-SKaR Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 but in some of the fluff they are actually caseless rockets. in ALL the fluff before 1990-1995 they where caceless, however some artists started drawing spent casings flying around the SMs in battle sceens. so to make sure that nobody was shown to be wrong, then invented a new version of bolter. each chapter uses a different bolter(and some chapters use more than one style) so whatever chapter you want, could use caceless or cased. [GW fluff = bs to the max. lol] Link to post Share on other sites
LtDeathSauce Posted October 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 I know. I mean, the tabletop game isnt even fluffy. *sigh* Well, since this is airsoft, it really doesn't matter what version it is, it won't shoot shells out no matter what! oh well. Im getting a CAM15A4 soon, so when that comes, I shall draw a new overlay and see if that will work better. Link to post Share on other sites
Dizzy Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 The caseless ones are the silenced shells, which use gas propulsion to get the round out of the barrel. Or they are since 1990-1995 as ED-SKaR pointed out Link to post Share on other sites
casey_cole Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 *off topic* Does anyone else think that White Dwarf has realy gone down the drain - catering more for the younger LOTR players and doing a hard sell on their products; at the severe detriment of hobby material such as fun and interesting battle reports, modelling and painting guides and analysis of players' armys? What happened to that wacky ork army they were going to feature, with the squigoths and the awesome conversions? WD sucks these days... (30+ pages of marketing!) CC Link to post Share on other sites
LtDeathSauce Posted October 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 *agreed* back on topic. I think a small plastic "foot" on an M15 Mag could make a covinving bolter mag. Link to post Share on other sites
casey_cole Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 Not quite enough of a sharp angle. AK mags suely are too rounded too. Obviously - it might be a compromise in the end. Best way would be to scratch build something round the outside of an existing magazine. CC Link to post Share on other sites
Cyber Soldier Posted November 2, 2006 Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 If the full size AK mag is too big then you can always use a beta-spetz one. Link to post Share on other sites
LtDeathSauce Posted November 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 Well, I have an M15 now... idk... it might workout. Man... this is a hard project. And here I am trying to do it with no money. Link to post Share on other sites
bloodbath mcgrath Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 the g36 mag is perfect, a stockless g36 would make for a relatively easy conversion to a bolter, or the ak spetsnez, im gonna use a g36 ill post pics if i ever finish(i have a bad habit of starting things then moving on to others) Link to post Share on other sites
Tecro Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 You could build a gas system from scratch...like the BB machine gun. But with two barrels, and powered in a sense by electricity. I'll have time to post more tomorrow, PM me if I forget. Cool project though! Link to post Share on other sites
amsniper Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 sorry havent read the whole thread! - storm bolter - you crazy!! the only thing i can think of is to have 2 yes 2 guns strapped together!!! if i were you id use 2 sas' bolted (excuse the pun) together then connect the two trigger mechs together so they run of one. dude you've got a mega task ahead of you! good luck regards amsniper Link to post Share on other sites
Tecro Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 I'm fairly sure a gas-powered system would be nice, if you're interested. Basically, just get a mini air compressor, even the smallest one will do. After all, the volume of the barrel (0.0098424 foot radius* 0.0098424 foot radius * 3.14 * 1 foot length) multiplied by the ROF (even 3000 RPM is possible and easy) gives less than 1 CF/M, or cubic feet per minute. I am unsure as to what pressure you would need, but the standard 90+ PSI for air compressors should work. Obviously, such a weak air compressor would be small and easily powered by a battery. The compressor would then connect to a chamber going to two barrels. A rotating piece in the middle with a hole on one side would alternate the airflow between the barrels. I'm not quite sure how you would feed the BBs, either a massive hopper in the main body à la BB machinegun or a (sealed) auto-winding magazine would do. The trigger would obviously close the circuit and turn on the compressor, it might be noisy, but powerful. The main thing to worry about is response, which is easily avoided if you choose a compressor with a tank (not necessary). You'd clearly need to create the gun body somehow, maybe built off a shell. I dunno. But anyway, if you're up to doing a pneumatic system, you'd have a sick gun. If the BB machinegun gets 100 RPS, then this could get 200 (as opposed to 20). Theoretically, anyway. Two guns clamped together would be easier, but not as powerful and not as cheap. But I doubt either version would be accurate unless you somehow got the barrels perfectly aligned. Good luck!
