An idea for a semi-auto repeating design
Posted: Thu Aug 04, 2011 2:06 am
Idea:
A "standard" barrel sealing pneumatic, 20mm brass tee with a plastic piston, 15mm port. The current design is single shot but my air reserve is from a tethered 100 litre tank, feeding a 450mm x 20mm chamber.
If I port it via a solenoid valve that I control the dwell time on, once the port is closed the thought is that a second solenoid would open for say 5 seconds to re-pressurize the chamber for the next shot. Ammo feed would be a gravity or spring loaded tube mag.
Any thoughts from the group ?
