OK so I've had an idea of a singled Magstrike for a while and got the thought"Hey that just might work". So I blueprinted it and threw in some other ideas ,too.

So here they are.(WARNING-I HAVEN'T TRIED THIS YET)

Still thinking on it!

The coupler needs to be supported and the vinyl tube will be surrounded by hot glue to keep the coupler air tight
and it may need a special barrel.

It might work?

One, use the little INSERT IMAGE box at the top to post pictures, it'll give you the right code.

Two, singling a magstrike is pointless being as the air output is the same no matter if there's one barrel or a hundred in a clip style.

This has been discussed to death several times.

The diameter of the tube would restrict the airflow too much to gain any benefit from the large bladder, you'd have to move the bladder directly behind the barrel and if you're doing that you may as well just build a whole new gun around a magstrike bladder and call it something else.

What exactly do you mean by this? Don't post in the topic where you asked us what we think?

I don't think this would work, unless you know what you're in for.

First off, here's a working link for you guys, right here

You have failed to grasp the fact that fluid mechanics will not allow enough air to make the shot worth shooting. Those tubes are small and only let a certain amount of air flow through them before they fail.

Also I did have a similar idea at one point, but to use the guts. Then I realized that the valve isn't built to shoot single shots. This is also why it's a multi shot blaster, it does it such that it can push the magazine up and thus load another dart.

Again with the tubing, there's a ton of dead space between the bladder and where the dart would be.

I'm not saying it won't work, I'm saying that it's not plausible. If you wish to do the work, then gung-ho! I just don't think it's worth it.

Do it and get back to us.
If you have to ask if it will work then most likely it will not. Or at least not by you.

Now usually, this is where I would say, "It won't work because the air output is too slow." Since two people have already said so, i'm not.

Anyway, my brother tried singleing a magstrike a while ago with a whole buttload of rubberbands on the bladder to make the air output faster, and it shot 10ft.

Its not going to work.

Alright. This is like your 3rd topic you posted in the past day. If you searched and looked around a little, I remember reading about someone attempting to do so, the way the Magstrike handles the air output, you'd have to re-build everything, so it wouldn't be worth it.

Why want to single a Magstrike anyway? Go buy an LBB or something. I don't get why people want to take the best part of Semi-Auto and Automatic guns and turn them into single shot... Isn't that something that kind of goes AGAINST our unwritten modders code? Don't we mod things to make them BETTER?

[s3an967]

I had a LBB the trigger got fucked up

I had a LBB the trigger got fucked up

So fix the trigger, it's a helluva lot easier than trying to single a Magstrike.

[s3an967]

It fuckin snapped in half I probably threw it away anyway

Less wasteful too. I seriously don't understand these "How can I single my Auto/Semi-auto/High ROF guns? I'd really like to defeat the purpose of this blaster!" threads. The singled Longshots make my heart ache every time.

[Foamfoot]

Here is my opinion: Yes it could work. It could work fairly well. But, either it would shoot the range of something we already have, or shoot farther and getting banned faster than the titan. With air guns, we already have about the highest range achievable. I say we need to think of innovations rather than range. Someone make a semi-auto system! Do something that isn't just singling!

If you are doing what i think your doing then you are going to have just the range of one magstrike shot.It has been talked many times but no body has done it.

[slienced assassin]

I would never even think about singleing a magstrike. There is no point in making an automatic into a single-shot gun.

Hey, singled LSs get bitchin' air output. But seriously, un-experienced modders have vague understandings of how guns work.

*ahem*

So, s3an967,
LURK MOAR.

Ughhh, this guy (not you norther) has been necroing all over. Somebody should fucking report him already!

Yeah... First I saw the date and thought you may have something cotroversial to add. However, I saw soon enough how you didn't have anything constructive to add, except for something 4 other people already said. Bravo.

On topic: the air release on a magstrike is quite different that the Airtech family. This endeavor will bring little, if any change, and will require an extreme overhaul. End of Story.

My god, let this die already...
