So I've been toying with this idea for a number of years, and with the recent advances in magazine-fed technology, I may have a practical means to do it.

I want to build a top-fed mag-feeding Shocker (likely an SFT, since they're cheap and have flat sides.) I'd probably remove the feedneck, then make a mount that clamps on and holds the mag in place, while depressing the mag's internal detent.
I'm really liking the looks of the new DAM magazines, mostly because they're double-sided, and come in multiple sizes; not to mention they are flat-topped, which imo would require a less-elaborate mount/magwell.

Am I crazy? Are there any glaring flaws in my logic that someone would care to point out before I blow a ton of money on a partsgun shocker and some DAM mags?
Any suggestions in how to go about doing this?

I'm going to try to start collecting materials; but I may not be able to start the actual build this summer due to my college schedule. Any suggestions in the meantime are appreciated.

just keep the feedneck and buy a qloader.

I'd prefer to make something with limited capacity; plus, the Qloader is enormous.

You could maybe attach a magazine to the side of the SFT and then use a Qloader/warpdrive style hose system to feed balls into the feedneck.

I dunno. just kinda pulling ideas out my ***.

so pretty much you want to put a gravity feed hopper on a shocker?

heres what you do. take one of those 10 round tubes from a stock class pump player. put some duck tape around it so that it's diameter is big enough for your feedneck. put 10 painbtalls in the tube. dunzo.

No, I want to mount a spring-fed magazine, and possibly even mod it for first strike.

Thanks for your valuable suggestion; I am so indebted to you for your contribution

I love to play magfed/limited capacity; but most of the more common magfed markers are obnoxiously loud, have terrible shot quality, or both; and the DAM is too damm expensive.

I've been working on a first strike shocker on and off for a while. If you need nay pointers let me know.

As I've told you before, you are a GOD.
