You can get one gun finished and use it to repeat the marking and drilling in steps 9, 10, 11, 12, 15, 17, 21, 25, and 31. Should save about 2 hours per gun.

80 dollars a gun. To sell. Yeah, we are trying to raise money to build the group armory, and no one wants to pay dues. So we build some +bows, own with them. Then make and sell more. It will be about 6 guys in one machine shop with more tools than oxygen, so yeah, should go fast and cheap when we get good.

Previous plans to manufacture homemades have never turned out well. People might be more inclined to take you seriously if you had already built one.VACC making jokes has me scared. Are you guys serious that you like my plan, or are you just hatin' on my plan?

VACC making jokes has me scared. Are you guys serious that you like my plan, or are you just hatin' on my plan? It should work as long as there are buyers. And I don't see start up money being the problem, cause I have about 4 grand lying around from a Halo Suit I sold. So, if anyone wants to put dibs on one, tell me so I don't have to make as many orders from McMaster Carr.

Good luck. You probably going to need it. If CS dosn't make them and you make a good prototype, then put me on your waiting list.Me and Trojan Nerf will be making them when we finish our first batch for ourselves. We will have 3 guys working in assembly line fashion at a machine shop, so, as soon as supplies are bought, we will be fine, I can estimate 80 dollars if I did the math right.
I think my old secondary (high) school had something similar to this that the used for cutting wood, although I don't really have a clue. Does that basicly mean that with one of these CNC Routers you can (in layman's terms) put in a sheet of polycarbonate and it would cut out all the parts and drill all the holes and make it almost ready for assembly (apart from cutting of the rods for the stock, barrel, plunger tube and anything else not made from polycarbonate). At a comletely random guess this would cut the time to make one down by like 2/3's? Or (it's much more likely that) I'm just talking out talking out of my arse?I'm currently doing research into CNC Routers, which are much more affordable ($3,000 to $6,000 for the models I'm looking at) and will be safer to use with polycarbonate than laser cutting systems would.
I should be able to make more of these some time in the next 6 months. Just have to save up for the tool and get it setup.

1. My collection of guns is extremely small at the moment and I don't have anything I can integrate. I'm either going to have to pick up something I can integrate sometime in the next week, or hand-off that part to someone else so they can tinker with it.1. I haven't seen much about the intergration rail? Any chance of photos of a gun mounted to it? Or are you planning to make something specific? Or am I a dumbass and missed something here?

Yes it will be fairly easy to design a bracket that mounts to the supplied attachment point holes from the outside rather than the inside like the current bracket.So, what I'm trying to say is: a second bracket-attachment point above the plunger chamber would be a great addition and, probably, pretty easy to add to the design.
When I start making these in bulk it might be feasible for me to supply all of the hardware needed to make the gun and have the only pre-made part included in the kit be a plunger rod. The last items you would have to buy are the 12x12 inch sheets of plastic in 1/4 and 1/8 thicknesses.Do you think it could be possible that you could supply a kit?
Just like, the raw, un-cut materials?

Turret is finished just in time for Reckoning. Still needs some fine tuning though.
Posted 10 January 2008 - 08:47 PM
I'll post them once the turret has all the kinks worked out. Among other things the tooth piece that creates the ratcheting mechanism needs to be redesigned. Right now it's rotating when it should be sliding.Could you post up scroll saw patterns for the turret too? That's really cool.
The turret has 10-inch barrels so I can see if there is a performance difference between these and 12 inches. The turret isn't designed for any specific barrel length though.Seriously CS that is awesome, is that PETG just 12" long? Also, how well does that PETG fit into your adapter/coupler?
