I paid about $700 for the lathe.

Your idea is good, I made something similar in my previous project: http://kuba-t1000.com/minigun/index.php ... ire_system

So it is

I checked some solenoids and I've found a good one, which can be hidden in gearbox shell. I ordered it. The plan is: Milling gearbox shell for 1.5mm to insert there this solenoid (15mm thickness). Also I'll try to design a SMD version of electronics. I'm thinking about buying a simple lathe... We wi...

Thanks for all coments. when I started this project I was thinking about using QEV and pop-off... but it was too complicated. The second reason was the price. In current project I was able to simplify desing. I like upper jackssmirkingrevenge's "sin_ttulo_980.png" picture. That's great idea. There a...

Good idea, but it complicates ROF and FPS control.
I'll think how to integrate it to gearbox shell.

Yes, 3/2 type solenoid has a venting output, and 2/2 valve would make cycle too slow. I used 2/2 type solenoid in my first version - video is on YouTube. As you can see it's too slow. Yes, it would be amazing, but it's almost impossible. Mini solenoid has too small air-flow. Second piston o-ring is ...

Electronic unit controls the solenoid. Using two potentiometers you can control solenoid (opening, closing times) I used a NE555 timer. Solenoid and electronics are powered by 12V battery. Air pressure from solenoid goes to cylinder and moves the piston and after a while shoots BB :) Pressure drops,...

if I would have a solenoid that can operates with this pressure, so my mod should work

I adapted this video to my requirements 8)

It operates at 6 to 14BAR.

Hi, I'd like to present my latest project. It's airsoft V2 gearbox modification to gas system version. The greatest advantage is regulated ROF and FPS. On my Website are free project files to download - 3D model designed in Solidworks. Take a look at the promo-video and some pictures below: [youtube...

Yes, they made it specially for me

The Vortex Block was made by my local CNC company... If you are interested, on my website is 3D model of this block... It contains all dimensions. Also on burntlatke.com is tutorial of making it ... Links are in my 1st post. But, the best way is to find CNC company on your local market and used my 3...

Vortex was about $25. I ordered only one item: (

I have a video from shooting test, but in low quality from mobile phone...

Paint in black color - YES it needs this... However, I'm afraid problems with the painting.

I'd like to present my version of Strafer BBMB gun. I made it years ago. Vortex block I've done by the idea of: http://www.burntlatke.com/bb.html and general appearance based on http://www.spudfiles.com/forums/kanedas-strafer-t148.html KANEDA'S STRAFER is really good looking, so I decided to make my...
