Potential airsoft equipment - airsoft designs

[joethe1st]

I have some pretty awesome airsoft designs. I just want to share some ideas and maybe someone who has time and money can actually build some of the designs on here.

If you want to come up with new ideas just think outside the box. Even if it seems outrageous, share it.

[Da Vinci - Да Винчи]

I've always wondered if there was a *safe* way to modify a GBB (pistol or rifle) to ignite the gasses shooting out of the barrel for a quick pop and flash of light. I think it would be neat. But of course, safety is the biggest issue. I'd love to see someone try, though.

A friend of mine tried shooting with a lighter or match at the end of the barrel. He said that when it didn't blow out the flame, it looked pretty cool. I would kind of assume that you can't really fire too quickly in that fashion for fear of the flame reaching the magazine.

I'd probably use micro led, and use a more dense gas that light has a hard time shining through. Then the gas would light up when you shot it.

I've always thought about and under barrel attachment for this purpose.
I'll draw up some designs.

[joethe1st]

I designed a semi-auto c4 block for my team last night. Basically you fill up this container with bbs, then you fill it up with gas, then via tv remote (or some other remote) you can detonate it. BUT it is semi-automatic, so it refills after every shot by itself. It would probably shoot around 75 bbs per burst.

[Snarf]

I'd just use a tracer unit installed in the hop up. Jonezy sells a kit/service for it.

But if you want to build a crazy new gun, look on the airsoftmechanics forum. Some people on there are extremely good at fabricating custom guns, like a halo battle rifle for example.

[Shadow (314)]

Any safe projectile that can be launched a good distance and throw BBs when it impacts. From that we can get mortars, RPGs, Bazookas, Artillary, and so much more. Indirect fire would change the game forever. I made one before that was a core to a Thunder B but it wasn't the safest and wasn't even closet o reliable.

I think sentry guns would be awesome too. I've had ideas for some too. I also had ideas for a minigun.

[Novak]

There have been airsoft miniguns around for a while now. If you mounted a minigun on a remote controlled sentry turret that you could control by way of a tablet or smart phone, that would be cool.

Its actually pretty practical too. The best idea (in my f'd up mind) may be actually using an old RC controller, which can adjust in all 4 directions.

If you were to set up a type of Lazy Susan with a motor and wheel underneath it, you could get the left to right movement down without much difficulty at all. The up and down could be done as simply as installing an electric jack underneath the barrel.

It's actually doable if you know what you're doing with those electronics. I can build the physical stuff, and make sure it works, but wiring this up would take some mad know-how.

I was thinking blue tooth hook up to your phone....

Ok but have a tri-pod, a swivel ball bearing ring mount, a sim motor geared for torque (to control left/right movement),mount a cog on top of the swivel (sim motor hooks up to it), then mount the minigun on the cog by using a base plate. As for vertical movement.... use another sim motor but hook up a jacking bolt to the end of it. Then hook the minigun up to a side bearing hinge (just puts pressure on one side) and bolt the minigun to the hinge and the other half to the base plate. The jacking screw will move it because there will be a free floating ball with threading through it mounted on the opposite side of the load bearing hinge. The sim motor with the jack bolt will be mounted on the base plate, under the cog, and attached to the tripod.

And I was thinking of having a cqb minigun that shot burst fire (3 bbs per air burst) so it would be like a Jesus shotgun.

[Puma1]

That could work as well.
I don't know about you, but I'd rather not use a 300$+ phone with bb's flying around.
Regardless, you'd still need to do some tech work.

[Puma1]

C4 anyone?

This was a quick process, if I had more time I could make them look much more realistic.
I'm talking fully functional timers, defusers and wires.
Oh well, I hope this isn't too bad:



On to the turret, I can see how that would work, but I've always believed simpler is better.
My method might cost a hundred dollars, yours will much likely be a lot higher than that.
If you're serious about building this Joethe1st, send me a PM

It honestly would'nt cost hundreds.. maybe 300 for the minigun. And another 100 for the tri pod. I'm the head of design for my school's robotics team and we have a budget so I have to stay in that budget when I design. I'd have to say this would'nt cost more than 500.
