OK, Credit goes to DavidVaini for coming up with the preloaded cartrige design. But this takes it to the next level. It is bolt action, has a scope, aluminum air chamber, baking cup burst disks, 1/4 inch brass ball valve trigger, and a gray paintjob. The bolt action slider is a cheap $2.50 door lock. It is epoxied to a screw in the 1 1/4 inch coupler. It works great, and is loud as hell. I am not allowed to fire anything so no damage pics:(
It also has a Daisy 4x15 scope.


Updated pics on page 2, and the new MS paint schematic is on page 3, and will have a black and gray color scheme.

Update: I have made a new stock, and added a longer hand grip. I will be buying a 1 1/4 inch to 2 inch bell reducer to put on the end of my barrel as a muzzle brake, and it will be either orange, or red(parents rules. And the black at both ends of my scope is the lens protector caps, and the black in the middle is from where my breach has been rubbing up against is. And I will give it another coat of paint to cover up my Nasty Lighter-burned hot glue.

Very cool design, looks like a great use of the preloaded cartridge design.

One question though, how does your bolt action work? I've seen those slider locks before, but your picture is a little blurry. Are you just using the bolt to eject the cartridge? Or does it load it as well?

It doesnt eject any cartrige, the rifle itself is the cartrige. The bolt moves the coupler, and the barrel forward, so you can load it with bbs, and a burst disk.

Ahh i see now, sorry for that.

If i remember correctly, DavidVaini was sliding the cartridges inside of a larger tube. My mixup. Your design is really good and it's an great use of that sliding lock.

Thanks for the comments, And what do you think about the color? It will probably be painted black in the future.

May I suggest some two tone? Maybe paint just the fittings black and leave the rest. Tiger stripes always seem to spice something up too...

I assume that it's only good for one shot before having to refill the chamber..

So what's the point in the bolt action?

looks really good, are you going to keep it all gray or you gonna go with a different color scheme? I think it would look sweet if It had a blue and black kind of camo like the shotgun I just painted:

Also are you just hand pumping it or hooking it up to an air source such as a co2 bottle or air compressor?

thanks for the credit to my design as well.

That shotgun color scheme is awsome David! And no, It will be Black and Grey. And I normally pump it up with a dual action modified hand pump, but occasionally a freinds air compressor.

I wouldn't consider this a preloaded cartridge because the force is in the chamber not the cartridge

I realise that, so its more like a triggered Burst Disk Gun.

@ David, what is that shotgun, spring, or green gas?

the shotgun is spring. Its very decent for cqb.. actually got it from prize money from this last airsoft event I went to.
