Well, I'm opening like this, it doesn't work, YET. But here is how to improve the semi 2K beyond recognition.

First some pictures-
You need this part (RF20)


This part (RF20)


These parts (RF20 and 2K)


This part (2K)


And this part (DTB)


Here is how you attach the various parts-





In the last picture the bottom of the valve would be placed where the plunger catch is. So that when the trigger is not pulled the valve is open. When you pull the trigger it closes the valve, and pulls the firing pin of the 2K. In theory this is AMAZING. The trigger still pulls the DTG rotating device and you have the ability to put out a good deal of shots. This is a big improvement over the original because in the original when you pulled the trigger it would simply dump the air out of the bladder. I believe it is possible to get about 20 shots before repuming the fill the tank.

IMPROVEMENTS-
I think I will need a stronger catch spring to open the valve. This valve also leaks air. I may replace it with the push valve from Bob II / My RF20. That would make a lower pull. Solving both problems.

I cannot seem to get it working. Bags will (hopefully) be helping me on this. He deserves credit for getting it to work, but it is my idea. THANKS BAGS!

Good job.
That 2k will be like a full auto, 100ft shooting huge airtanked beast!

There is still some to come.

Pure genius.

Why not wait until you've actually done this before posting it?

[General Cole]

Because someone maybe could use the knowledge???

In other words, "so Baghead, who wouldn't do something like that, Doesn't take credit for doing it all himself when he's done helping me get it all working."

[General Cole]

Yeah, you do deserve credit for building it, but I'm just posting the idea. BAGS WILL FINISH IT FOR ME BECAUSE I AM HORRID at this. Thanks Bags!

I was thinking of doing this to my at3k to take advantage of it's rotating mechanism. I'm glad the idea of a semi-auto 2k isn't dead though. I don't own a dtg so could somebody fill me in on how the turret rotates?

[PC III]

Like a mav, pulling back on the trigger moves it .5 of a step, releasing completes the step.

[Cannonball]

ah, thanks for the explanation.

[OfAllTheNerf]

Yeah, I was going to do this for a little while now, but never really wanted to shell out $15 just to make one.

Maybe when I really need it.

Anyways, good job. I know hard those valves are to pull, and the leaking is very annoying.

Looks like a great idea, Cole! Hope it works well!

First off I would like to apologize for my last outburst at you. The reason I did that was you seemed like a very good modder, and then (at least I think so) you left for a bit and when you started posting again, it just seemed like constant bitching and "I'm posting this but I don't care what you think" type things. And it doesn't exactly make me happy so see a good modder go down the drain. You obviously seem to have regained (Well, I'm my eyes anyway) your previous status as a resourceful and ingenuitive (not a word, I know) modder. Congrats.

On topic: So, is this similar to the double ball valve configuration for homemades, though obviously in a smaller format?

Can't wait to see it done.

[General Cole]

No, its more or less a safety valve stopping constant air flow from the bladder.
