ya think this really works?

i found this gatling gun on youtube and its supposed to shoot paintballs. i think it looks pretty cool but the guy in the video says "now firing at 1200psi" i know it was in the thousands. check it out.

[Gepard]

The fact that it wears itself out after a few seconds would suggest it does....

But it certainly wouldn't be practical - as one of the comments said imagine how much paint it would need lol.

Woah thats one AWESOME looking gun. Very unpractical though. I can believe that pressure too. Imagine that if you were playing!

[paaiyan]

What I really want to know, is how he plans on feeding paint to that thing.

[spud yeti]

very true, didnt even think of that! The balls would probably break at that speed! Haha, wonder if he realises that yet!!?

[mike1010]

to me it looks like only one of the barrls shot because of the delay in air plooms

[Kenny_McCormic]

he could always use reballs but that would only work at a reball field

[spud yeti]

O ok, well that kinda sucks. I still vote for normal paintball gun! That gun is overkill.

[iPaintball]

I didn't think a regular CO2 tank went up to 1200 psi. I've seen this video before. It is practically impossible to shoot painballs out of a six barreled gatling gun because they are so close together and spinning so fast that the centrifigal force being put on the paintballs pops them. Tippman has produced a working 10 barrelled gun that runs of of industrial CO2 tanks. They are meant to be mounted in painball tanks or in gun emplacements.

[paaiyan]

Standard CO2 tanks run at 800 PSI I believe.

[Pete Zaria]

A) I could have sworn unregulated CO2 was around 800psi depending on temperature.
B) No way a paintball would survive that in the barrel - even nicer "normal" paintball guns will break paint with the regulator set up high
C) He did an amazing job building/timing that thing anyway.

Peace,

maybe hes running it of HPA or N2?

also there is no room for a hopper, i dont think its shotting anything other than air, i bet thats a test run, as in not finished.

is that thing being spun by a drill? pause it in the first frame and check, also it appears the air source is located in the center of the barrels... and it does look like a co2 tank, but i could be wrong

there is no way this is the finished version of the gun

[Gepard]

He says it's a test fire with no paint in the description

I still cant understand what the point of it is. If you can hit something with that you can hit it with a normal gun anyways, so this is actually just wasting paint! Nice idea tho i guess...

Heres one that supposedly works:

[TwitchTheAussie]

Now you have inspired me to build a BB version. Good on ya mate But thats pretty impractical youd need a scuba tank for that thing in a game
