Hi Silver

If you have the book that came with your tank it tells you there is a hop-up for the main gun...thats all i can tell you at the moment..

A few years ago a frined of mine had mini paint pellets for his BB gun,wonder if you can still get them lol

Aaron

i will serch for this hop up' there must be a bit more to gain from these little BB cannons
OOHHH what about a flame thrower!! ...getting a bit to far ahead with that

FLAMETHROWER...

Aaron

0.well...it was just a thought

you guys chuckle over a flamethrower it has been done

check out youtube

no doubt!...one step at a time :~

Hi,

I hate to put a sour note into an interesting thread, but if you have insurance for your modelling activities, then it could be invalid if your model fires any sort of solid projectile. This might even include the Heng Long airsofts that have a range of 2cms on a good day.

I would assume this would only apply at a display or is in a public place, so be careful! Even pyros can throw bits of cr*p quite a distance (and not always in the direction you expect - Dandare knows about exploding barrels, don't you Robert??)

I seem to remember there was a design around on the net years ago for a gun for a model based on the design of an old starting pistol. It used .22 blanks preloaded together with an airgun pellet into short bit of tube. These "cartridges" were then loaded about 7 at a time into holes in some ally bar which served as a mag. The whole mag slid one hole at a time with each shot. Interesting, but lethal and very naughty! Don't even think about it!
Personally I love anything that goes bang, whoosh or boom

I'm not too sure how you would stand on that 1

I personally wouldn't use my BB in a public place just in case,hence they have an on-off switch (i will admit to pushing the stick up to alter the barrel height)...

Aaron

its got a turret' so it haaaaaas to fire something .....i will make my own unit just for the enginering challenge' or i will get a good quality airsoft gun that fires plastic BBs and mod that
