I was thinking of making a proper .177 air rifle/bb gun or whatever you want to call it and have come to a problem.

I know what my basic design will be and how it will fire but how can i load the ammo in and make it semi-auto. Ie. i got a valve that will be semi-auto but how will the ammo load after each shot. I was thinking of having it like a revolver but how can i make it turn the barel to align up a new pellet? Or could i just have a mag so after each shot it just advances into the barel? (or do i need to but it in shells)

DESIGN:

I very much doubt that you have the ability to make an air rifle (I know I don't have the skill, and I'm willing to stake a claim that even Boltsniper wouldn't make one). Let alone a semi-auto one. Getting barrels for those things isn't as easy as getting pvc at the local hardware store.

But to try to answer your question, the semi-auto air guns I've seen had revolver-style loading. I'd imagine that a advancing clip (think sawtooth) would work also. You would need to do something like on the maverick, with angled slides to advance the revolver, or a geared mechanisim in order to get it to allign. Using your "design," you would need a bolt, possibly with some kind of blow-back.

But again, it is not going to be anywhere near as easy as anything in nerf. You can't miss the allignment by anything (and by anything I mean .00#'s of an inch), or else it will not work and possibly will be dangerous. I would not recomend anything like this unless you are a gunsmith, and if you are I doubt your skill because a gunsmith wouldn't be asking these questions.

Not only do the above comments make me wonder why you're even here, but I'd also like to point out that this is a bloody Nerf site.

Air rifle that shoots pellets =/= Nerf.

I'd suggest you try and find help somewhere else. You will find that most of our members will have very little interest in your design. Try doing a Google search to see what resources outside of Nerfhaven can help you.

It looks like a turd.

Ok i wont bother you with this then i'll work it out.

Not only do the above comments make me wonder why you're even here, but I'd also like to point out that this is a bloody Nerf site.


I thought that was the idea of OFF TOPIC? talk about things that were unrealated to nerf. ps2 network cards/computer stuff/military/ pictures of animals there all topics ive seen on here and none of them are to do with nerf?

Anyway as i said i wont discusss this anymore. Maybe "The Infinite Shindig" might be able to close the topic or something?
