So, what y’all up to?
What’s your current project(s)
How far along are you?
And could you give a brief history of said project(s).
I’ll go first:
My current projects are:
A 2inch paintball grenade launcher; double barreled side-by-side; break action; cartridge fed; extractors only (no ejectors).
The left barrel will be strait for grenades, the right barrel will be choked for paintball shot loads.
I’ve got the valves 88.8% done, all I need to do is glue ‘em, then comes the hard part: fill manifold, barrels, barrel pivot, stock, sights, break mechanism, the list goes on.
The story behind this one is long, so I’ll give you the highly abridged version:
When I was designing my latest grenade launcher I couldn’t decide between designing it for shot or grenades, then I slipped off and hit my head on the proverbial toilet (Back to the Future joke) and came up with the idea of a double gun.
At one point in time I kicked around the idea of making it a dreiling by adding a rifle barrel under the two 2inch barrels but decided that two barrels was complex enough…
My second project is keeping a promise I made to spudfiles members way back when:
The Valkyrie project, automatic cannon:
I’m working on a scaled back prototype in cal .68 full automatic; possibly belt fed.
Valve is 75% done, needs a little work, when I came in it kept jamming shut…
This project goes why back, anybody remember the Wookie gun or the G.A.R. 1 prototype?
So, who’s next?
