Ammo and air come in with unified pneumatic magazine. Rounds are indexed via pneumatic ammo elevator(the magic box).

Bore site allows aiming with camera shutter-like view. Red dot can be incorporated directly into it.

Ballast is in stock. piston and hose is usually covered by fore grip.

Sorry for the blurry pic.

This is the future platform.

Thank you.

Regarding your questions... I don't know and I don't know.

What I love about this launcher is it's super thin profile. I could probably stack three of them next to each other in a about the same space as one of the Eclipse Revolvers. Just wait until I combine the two...

Fullmetaljacket was JSR's name on spudtech wasn't it..?

I assume you're still going for the less than lethal side of things? It looks brilliant anyway.

Anyone who wants to be associated with epic fail :D

Actually, look what I just "liberated" from the maintenance department to contain my latest breech design, a 304 stainless 2mm wall thickness tee :D overkill perhaps but I don't want a repeat of this.

Tubemags FTW!
Is the ammo in the mag pushed by a spring, pneumatic or otherwise?

Pneumatic pulse valve. Let's the ammo sit nice and cozy without getting squashed. Not that it matters with cannisters, but foam and rubber rounds like it. It also allows for an extra round in the same space.

Ok. I realize this is a very old thread, BUT, has this tube magazine gone anywhere? Solar, this one really intrigues me. I have seen the vertical magazine and revolver style of the Eclipse. But this is the closest to what I have been building. I gotta have more!
