i am trying to make a semi automatic marble gun that can shoot about 10 marbles one at a time with out reloading, does anyone have any ideas? i was thinking of having a spring loaded tube that feeds in to a T and have a pin go through below the barrel stoping them al from going in at once, but i am sure someone on here has a better idea :wink:

Try researching a gun that uses a Vogt design for a mag. I think it may be hard to use on a marble gun but it would fit what your looking for.

Research a paddle-interrupter type feed mechanism. Here's an example: http://www.spudfiles.com/forums/full-au ... t4108.html.

Make a voght pattern type gun, it will be better looking and probaly have better shooting qualitys. Howver what type of air source do you plan on using?
