The bb gun im building atm uses the same system as brians. A bolt (mines a pnuematic piston) closes off the mag tube and pushes the bb just past a second tee where air is fed in. I use a mag that is inline to the barrel though for space reasons. Works the same as a sprung tmag

Does that mean i will need 2 power sources to power that solenoid and the timer, Or just one? And will the input voltage need to be 24v? I havent got the timer/heard from zues so i dont know alot about it. More pics just because, got round to mounting the rails and accessory today. I need to find a ...

Fml, Air flows from A-R, when activated A-P. So it wont port my qev. Damn it :( Hope you havent made that timer yet zues, Gotta find another valve and it may or may not be 24v. Wyz, have you come accross any solinoid valves that wil fill from A-R, then port from R-P ? EDIT- Played with it a tad more...

Read your message as i was going to work this morning, Just got round to taking pics. Also got my low profile laser and 45 degree offset mount for my red dot. Turns out the rail grooves on the toy are not scale size, to narrow and not deep enough. Some creative work with a dreamel quickly sorted tha...

It needs to fill and port the qev. It has 3 threads in it marked A-P-R.
What stops it from filling and porting? I figure you have had plenty of expierence with 3ways (not a innuendo)

That does not sound good :shock: The 555 timer is being built around the 24v this valve requires. So if it dosent work im going to have a real bad time. This is the 3way, indeed ebay and indeed $30. Had bad experiences with them? http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/380530075392?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trks...

Finially a proper update, with some pics Mostly finished the barrel and mag. Decided to go along the top of the barrel instead of a T due to lack of space. gotta do some cleanup and slot the mag tube. A keychain retracter is going to be used to pull the bbs though the tube. Because im using metal bb...

A lot of parts have arrived now. So building has started. Worked on the magizine tube, feeds bb well but I think I'll need to use a detent. Sometimes when the next Bb feeds into the barrel it will roll, causing the next round to chamber resulting in double feeds, so I figure if I put a detent just i...

Shells not cheap. 40$ aud + post for it. All that was in it was some leds and a rumble motor. Its going to have a much better home as an air soft/ Bob gun. It will also be a nice display item when I'm done with it

Just a quick update, the body for this build arrived, started work on the barrel, length is not finial and just have one coat of paint to see how it looks, got to clean up where it joins into the body. fake plastic scope on it just for lols. the attachments for the body wont show up for about 4 weeks

Zues, I will probly get u to make another later when I start another build, for the same reason (solenoid striking a hammer)

Safety is a big one, would like to have a working safety switch so the gun can't be accidentally discharged.

And those diagrams make no sense to me

this is the valve, says dc. it was the only one i could find that was solinoid 3way, two position that used 1/4 fittings. Otherwise i would have just gone with a 12v http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/380530075392?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649#ht_1984wt_1083 And yeah im sure there is a ...

I'm just going to chuck in a 7805 and use a 5V relay for the solenoid, I could use a 3055 too, see how it pans out. o This makes my face go 0.o and i guess i owe you a big thank you also dewey if your doing up the schematic for the timer ^_^ The solenoid runs of 24vdc, so im going to make up a batt...

I live in Western Australia, sadly we have become a nanny country. Even the UK, who is part of the commonwealth, is allowed them, but we are not. Sad really. There are groups pushing for airsoft, but its still a long ways of. And thanks for the positive on the bodt, wanted something a little differe...

So my thread was deleted without warning or reason, did i do something wrong? Anyway reposting. Before i start this thread, i want to say a very big thank you to Zues, Jsr and Wyz2285, because without them this build would have never of happened. The Idea I come from the land of Oz, and sadly our go...
