It exhausts from two slots, all I need to do is block off one of them and attach the other to a blow-forward breech, given the joys of epoxy casting that shouldn't be too much of a chorePOLAND_SPUD wrote:so when are you going to turn it into a gun...
I suppose it's carried over from starting out with cloud or vortex BBMGs, where all you need to do is inject air from a blowgun into the system et voila, full auto. While the rate of fire is obviously less, incorporating some sort of "pulse" valve into the loop will usually give you the benefit of faster opening time and more flow.I've never really undestood your persistence with all this constant flow thing... could you explain what are main advantages of it or how powerful gun you can buld with it??
That's what I'm hoping, working on a way to attach it to an existing 6mm blow-forward breech as we speakALIHISGREAT wrote:hopefully the flow is adequate for airsoft bbs though?
hopefully this one won't explodewe should be good for testing in 24 hours

...I think it's safe to say you can expect another attempt at an auto project pretty soon
using a saftey relief valve as a pilot has been done plenty of times before, and it's also been used as a pilot for full auto, but this is different it's just using the relief valve as a pulsing valve for a full auto bbgun, previously this has not been done before because of difficulties in making the valve pulse while maintaining a strong output in those pulses, but If jack's has tweaked this right then there is a lot of potential for thisPVC Arsenal 17 wrote:Saladtosser did this many moons ago.
A pop-off on its own wouldn't really be of any use. It would have to be used as a pilot valve. Lots of people have thought about this but it's too finnicky to waste time on. At least in my opinion. Of course it is possible though.
Wow... I was an idiot back when Atlantis posted this...
Not quite the same thing is it though, he's using the pop-off as a pilot. The guy who had done something similar to this was Brian the brain with his snap valve.PVC Arsenal 17 wrote:Saladtosser did this many moons ago.
I'm quite confident it will, it does move a lot of air - you can see the blowgun recoiling in the video - and we're talking 1/4" porting for a 6mm barrel.A pop-off on its own wouldn't really be of any use.

Good idea there but for now I'll be using the one I made hereBTW Jack you have pretty good craftsmanship, but for me I find getting the back of the bolt alined to pop in and out of the input pipe tricky so I'm recommending this design
hopefully this one won't explode
