thinking about making a nerf one

p.s. lol at the pistol ammo drum

2/17/2008 6:02:50 PM

spring-loaded?

2/17/2008 6:04:13 PM

A drum type ammunition storage system has an outer, stationary drum with two, interlayered, helical partitions; and a rotating core with a plurality of longitudinally extending guides, to provide two helical trains of rounds, each having a first rotational velocity, which are merged to provide a single train having a second rotational velocity which is twice said first rotational velocity. The helical partitions are at a longitudinal angle to the longitudinal axis, to support the rounds at an angle to the longitudinal axis.

uses a "watch type" spring

2/17/2008 6:05:53 PM

is it a big spiral spring or something

someone draw me a picture

2/17/2008 6:06:12 PM

2/17/2008 6:07:26 PM

BINGO^

2/17/2008 6:11:18 PM

basically first bullet is at the op of the drum then its ina spiral inwards witha bigole circular spring with a sliding plate on it that presses againt your final round

2/17/2008 6:32:07 PM

^eloquence at its finest.


if you cant do it after that explanation, there is no hope.

2/17/2008 6:40:04 PM

^its eloquent but it aint spelled right >.>

2/17/2008 6:47:55 PM

ohh and that has to move along the track but not skid off the spring i dont know how to do that yet

2/17/2008 6:57:43 PM

They use this thing called a follower.

2/17/2008 8:09:55 PM

Might just want to wait and see how Nerf does it.



Here's the press release from the New York Toy Fair 2008.

um

holy shit

[Edited on February 17, 2008 at 9:10 PM. Reason : ah, belt fed]

2/17/2008 9:09:23 PM

that's fucking awesome

... I would like one of those thank you

actually I would like a robot one of those with a webcam

2/17/2008 9:10:31 PM

they work not much differently from a regular magazine, except they do it in a circle instead of a straight line

except for ammo drums on a belt fed weapon, which are basically just a big box to hold the belt.

2/17/2008 9:11:40 PM

Yeah, it looks quite a bit like the M-249 SAW. I'm interested in knowing if you can string several belts together. Looks like the feeder box may only be able to hold 1 belt.

Toys have come such a long way since the early 80's. It's quite amazing.

My dremel disagrees

2/17/2008 9:13:32 PM

i don't know how the belts on the toy work, but i would imagine you could string belts together.

on a real belt fed weapon, you can string as many belts as you want together very easily, or break them up into smaller segments.

2/17/2008 9:14:52 PM

ok, step 2

find a big spirally spring that won't squish foam darts

2/17/2008 9:15:40 PM

the nature of the foam darts might be a limiting factor

2/17/2008 9:17:03 PM

yeah

2/17/2008 9:17:47 PM

mount each dart inside a hollow copper casing or something? you'd need darts smaller than the chamber of the gun though >.> or do like guns always have and use a standard mechanical clip

2/17/2008 9:19:42 PM

yeah that's more work than i want to do
