Hmm.... LiFePo4s generally have a lower discharge rate than LiCoO2s (the normal kind), but are safer in that they don't explode/burn if mistreated. You've probably noticed this, but bear in mind that you can't just charge them to 4.2 V like regular Li-ions, their maximum voltage is around 3.6 or 3.7 V. A hobby charger can be programmed for this, but watch out for the cheaper chargers which are set to work only with LiCos...

As has been noted, the general way is to just push it in.

Or you could go with a quarter pipe instead:

Little less stable than a half pipe though.

Mixing partially charged and fully charged batteries is generally unsafe and not recommended. Mixing different chemistries is even more unsafe. Discharge rates will be uneven, and alkalines aren't known for being able to sustain a high current. Possible results can include the alkalines reverse charging (not that they were meant to be recharged in the first place!), resulting in leaks and heating. The Li-ions might go bad as well (results include fires/explosions), but I'd say the alkalines would die first.

In short, while it might work to get that voltage, I'd really not recommend it...

How about slowing the blade speed but increasing the feed rate? Sounds to me like lowering the feed rate would increase the amount that the blade rubs against the material instead of cutting it. More rubbing -> more friction & heat -> melting. I believe a similar thing can happen with mills as well.

Aside from that, packing tape would also be a good suggestion.

Nicely done but how many pumps does it need? If it's too many like the original 25 pumps then this isn't war practical.


Even though you're banned now, note that it won't be 25 pumps for one shot, but 25 for five shots. 25/5 = 5, so on average 5 pumps per shot.

Theory. Why not relocate the fill button to face the front of the trigger, and make an epoxy putty tab to hit the button when the trigger is released, thus truly making it semi-automatic?


Only question I have is how much pressure would be required to press the button, because the spring holding the trigger forward will have to provide that pressure.
