Paintball Minigun 2

i can deffinately see the cool factor coming in. but more BPS would be nice

Damonwill · 08-08-2007, 11:03 AM

Agreed. I can get her to cycle up to 39bps. But feeding the balls the is the issue. Infact, that's always the issue. I could use a q-loader, but that doesn't allow continuous feeding from my backpack hopper... we'll have to see what technology is developed in the future.

and I have actually not been in a single field that will even allow 35bps. I have to limit it to 15bps. and you have to remember that if I sell these, I could be liable for someone unloading another player. +35bps could easily knock off someone's mask and put out an eye or even worse faster than you can blink. so I have to carefuly consider how powerful I make these...

how long does the battery last?

Damonwill · 08-08-2007, 12:49 PM

A couple hours for regular play. And only takes 15 minutes or so to recharge. I'm playing with it in a Scenario game in two weeks and will confirm the battery life.

about how much are you looking at selling these?

Damonwill · 08-09-2007, 10:54 AM

The first couple will go on Ebay. Then I will start selling direct from my store. No real ideal on the price yet. I'm tryin to get my price down by buying in bulk.... which will lower the retail price.

I'm sure you don't want to give away all of your design secrets (I don't plan on making one anyway) but curious about how you handled the timing of the firing with spinning barrel. Are you doing a staggered cycling of the barrel like... internals fire, bolt retracts, barrel indexes...etc or is the barrel spinning independently and you're somehow timing the firing sequence to just shoot a ball when the barrel is lined up? I would think the latter could be faster but a real mess if you're off by a few ms...

Damonwill · 08-09-2007, 04:04 PM

I have an optical sensor array that calulates the instantanious velocity of the spinning barrels and "pre-fires" and marker so that when the ball enters the spinning barrel at the instant its lined up. but that's my first minigun. My second fires through the center of the spinning barrels so timing its as critical.

good god..............i think i peed myself a little

imtriggerhappyr · 08-10-2007, 09:13 AM

wow just wow i want one it makes my triple trouble look small im curious on why you used ion was it purly a price reason

Damonwill · 08-10-2007, 10:35 AM

the IONS are cheap and make for easy mounting since the firing chamber is round. Most all other markers have fancy machining and would be much harder to mount. Plus the pnuematics can be connected without any type of grip of housing.

how much did it cost to make?

Damonwill · 08-12-2007, 01:36 PM

Haven't tallied up everything, but in the 4 digits.

sniperx117 · 08-12-2007, 11:30 PM

oh crap....thats the proto type though? right?

Irish pride · 08-13-2007, 12:07 AM

jesus do you bleed paintball it must cost like 300 bucks for 1 day

Ice - Ice - Cuba · 08-13-2007, 12:26 AM

i think it costs more if i had one of thoses i would just hold down trigger n spray anything that moves mybe even my teamates if they get in front of me

Damonwill · 08-13-2007, 10:18 AM

REmember, its variable speed. So you can fire it from 5bps all the way up to +40bps. All you do is pull the speed trigger more and is spins faster and fires faster.

Of course this would only be practical if the gun was mounted, but would be much better for that purpose i think, you could run a pressure sensitive button to get the variable rof or have two settings with two buttons, press one get 10bps, press both and get 20 or something like wise.

The trigger your thinking of is called a butterfly. Due to the shape of the lever. It would be awesome if you could program it to be pressure sensitive but i know from experience that when you press down on the butterfly on the M-2, Vulcan, or any of the other innumerable weapons it's attached to. It's all or nothing. It'd definately be nice to get rid of that 20 lb pull though

Sorry if i pulled this off topic damon.
