Maybe this is a good idea... maybe this is the by-product of those big green pills I've been taking. Who knows...

What if you could take:

hahaha. instead of that marui G3 SAS get the Pulse R72 from crossman. sure its only 250 FPS, but its ROF nears 1000. then, get yourself 5-6 extra mags and a 12 volt battery, and WOHA............ basically its a 150 dollar SAW with a nice, friendly 250 FPS.

anyway, that would be pretty sweet. just make sure you have 1 gunner and 1 driver...................

i wanna see pics when its done. im currently saving up for a new AEG and i want to find a use for my old Pulse R72......

and btw, why not hook up a strafer? i mean, the go-kart has enough room for 2 of those industrial CO2 tanks................. and a strafer with a 10,000 round magazine.................

Kiddin me? I can't afford a sheet of plywood, let alone a $1300 go kart.
If I ever get lucky on a Win-For-Live I'll send you some pics.

But good thinking with a strafer. Why waste all the money on the marui when you piss plastic all over your enemy? And how's that R72? I was thinkin of getting one once...

Man I think it is those green pills.. lmao Jk :lol: anyway, this is a good idea, but I wouldn't use an airsoft gun, I would go with VH's idea. But, since you need both hands to drive, I'd hook up a foot pedal valve to a strafter, and put a HUge resevour for the bb's, with a five pound c02 tank.... of course this is the stuff of a poor mans dream... :lol: :P :oops: :cry:
(this an example of deteriorating emotions) lol

you know i was wondering if i should do this with my go kart (which currently has no brakes) i figure i would mount some sort of motor operated turret in the back and place a small joystick on the steering wheel. was only planing on using 2 crap aeg s because i don't have any small diameter solenoid valves to hook my vortex up to. i mean it cant be that hard to hook some servos up to a gun right, i just want it to be electronically fired (as opposed to being mechanically fired with a servo)

but... my friends would probably never let me use it in a game, they'd be scared shitless

upcoming projects... finalized clip fed BBMG and ball point pen sniper

I still like my elcetric pedal valve idea, just hook up an electric pedal switch to a solenoid, and your good to go!

Btw, singularity, your avatar confuses me, please take it off :x :lol:

Acdc, your avatar scares me. It looks like the man who visits me at night and when I'm in dark alleys. I also buy my green pills from him :D

singularity, your go-kart has no brakes? What's wrong with it; I would drive it around.

About the assault vehicle, it could work, providing you don't run people over with it, which is, of course, cheating. Maybe put a truck horn on it.

Its actually pretty good for the money. the FPS is a little lacking, and the accuracy too, but its noting to be ashamed of. i can hit an 8X11 target from 80 feet......................

the upside is the ROF. this thing purrs out nearly 900-1000 Rounds per minute on full auto with the stock battery. also, it has a 500 round hicap, so you wont run out of ammo that fast. upgrades for it would be:

A new gearbox: Sure i dont know how to even open the pulse up, but this thing could take any V2 gearbox with ease.........

A new Battery: I know it already fires REALLY FAST, but the battery life is short, and you can make it fire MUCH FASTER. with a 12 volt battery, the motor heats up a little bit much (you can tell the motor is hot when the pistol grip gets warm) but it basically pisses BB's........... whole 500 round hicap gone faster than you could ever imagine.............. also it has a full stock so a large type battery is an option, if you want to do some creative wiring.
