well its finished, my project vespa. My goal achieved: a walkable mechanical ion.
Ive built mech Ions in the past and i was always dissatisfied with how the triggers were so i set out to make the lightest trigger possible.

parts used:
clippard QEVs
SMAV-3 3 way
MSV-2 shuttle valve
MPA-3 actuator
Jackhammer 2 LPR
Stinger Grips
JBweld (yeah yeah i know... )

first off, the stock ion.... Ewww ugly and broken QEV in the body


so i got the trigger assembly together, i know that i could have just used the one valve and no lpr, but keeping the pressure that low really lightens the pull. MSV-2 trips the actuator and the actuator...uhh... actuates the SMAV-3


Here it is with a fresh coat of spray paint, and the LPR installed. I tried drilling and tapping but I FUBAR'd it so out came the JB weld again


here are the grips from Stinger, I cant say enough about the quality of work that these guys do!


Here is the finished project with a new trigger and feedneck


any questions? please ask!

Why is it so God awful ugly?!

[wiswarsniper]

Cause its the Vespa! and yes i know that the paint is ugly... but now it has more of the WTF?!?! factor

[wiswarsniper]

Its kind of like a Ion and Pnuemag had a kid, then that kid OD'd on watermelon and JB weld

lol

Personally, I dig the colors! Although I play in highlighter yellow gear.. But congrats on the finished build and accomplished goal! Can't even tell where you used JB weld either.

[wiswarsniper]

Can't even tell where you used JB weld either.

1: in person you can tell
2: in places where it shouldnt be... like holding the LPR and marco line on, or holding the actuator and the smav-3 together...

only time will tell how long it'll hold together

[WTF is Paintball]

video of it shooting?

[Joey570]

Is that FLCL on the grips?

[wiswarsniper]

Yes! Its FLCL... Hence Vespa!

When i get paid ill get a shooting vid

[Joey570]

That is awesome man, all I noticed was the grips and just skipped the rest of the thread.

Vespa has a booth at the milwaukee auto show

[i_bunker_u]

i would end up ripping a hose out

[wiswarsniper]

I actually found that putting a small zip ties on the LPR hose and using it to hold that to the marco line works really well. oddly enough none of the hoses are in the way.

Sounds great. Awesome job on the project!
