Leopard 2a6 comprehensive upgrade project.
Leopard 2a6 comprehensive upgrade project.
I would like to introduce the Leopard 2a6 comprehensive upgrade project.
I have upgrades such as gimbal barrel balancing.
Recoil-action BB pellets.
Smoke system along with BB ammunition
FPV camera for aiming system with adjustable crosshair.
I'm so happy that this project is almost finished and I wanted to share it with everyone. Thank you all so much

Re: Leopard 2a6 comprehensive upgrade project.
Those are some seriously impressive upgrades you've crammed in there!
Re: Leopard 2a6 comprehensive upgrade project.
Thank you
)) Here are a few more detailed images of the system; you can check them out in my YouTube video.

That metal tube on top is the BB feed line, that servo I guess allows one BB at a time into the chamber, and then you’ve got I think a solenoid valve that releases pressure into the chamber to launch it, along with a smoke system that feeds into the barrel.
Could you tell me more about how your solenoid launching system works, as I’ve been wanting to do something to increase the FPS of the Airsoft system in my tank
Re: Leopard 2a6 comprehensive upgrade project.
I took the air intake system from a mini car air pump, then bought a CO2 cylinder, emptied it to use it as a compressed air tank. Theoretically, a motor rotates the piston to draw in air, and a 12V solenoid valve is used. My system uses compressed air for both recoil and firing.

Re: Leopard 2a6 comprehensive upgrade project.
So the CO2 canister is empty and you have a pump dedicated to pressurizing that canister with plain old air, then the solenoid releases air to launch the Airsoft and recoil the barrel at the same time? What stops the air pump that fills the canister from running continuously?
Is that servo at the end of the barrel for recoil (I’m guessing not since you said you use compressed air for that) or for barrel extension, or something else?
If it is used for extension, why not use the servo for recoil and extension?

Re: Leopard 2a6 comprehensive upgrade project.
The servo at the end of the barrel is for loading the bullet into the barrel; the bullet needs to fall into the airtight position to be fired. I'm using an electronic relay switch to turn a 12V motor on and off via a PWM signal at the RX.
I've posted a video on my YouTube channel explaining how it works; you can check it out to understand better.

I’m not seeing a video explaining anything on your channel, only demonstration videos, unless I’m missing something.Xeom500k wrote: ↑Wed Jan 07, 2026 8:30 am The servo at the end of the barrel is for loading the bullet into the barrel; the bullet needs to fall into the airtight position to be fired.

Would you mind linking the specific video you’re talking about? I would love to see a detailed explanation of what you have accomplished here.
