Autoload Airsoft Cannon

Post by Battlechip »

Hello I didnt like how the airsoft doesnt reload to firing position, I used the existing switch , trimmed off the front tab (pic1) then angled the front tab to make contact (pic2) i made a small bracket (pic3) to contact with the rear tab. make sure there is no fouling of gears(pic4) the airsoft cannon will stop at full cocked position (pic5) ready for firing instantly. :thumbup: I used the switch in the turret (pic6) for safety, as making it autoload it is hard wired. in summary the cannon is wired to Fire continuously and the micro switch breaks the contact right before , so it fires as soon as the lever is moved then automatically winds on for the next shot . I like this mod and hope it helps out Cheers

Good mod.... I never liked the airsoft due to ts frail construction, it just brakes easy.... I went whole hog and converted to co2 power.... it needs some fine tuning as only getting 5 good power shots.

After seeing your post however I am thinking of going back to airsoft and give it some strength and some boot!...

With this little idea thrown in :thumbup:

Hey Guys, Contact Dietrich. He and another member Perry have really gone through this process.CO2,Paintball the whole range of mods. One thing is that damn limit/micro switch is so weak.

I am sure Dietrich (Alb) could offer some really good advice.Your mod is very smart,it does improve the guns weak and long fire rate. Yet I fear that switch will fail you,it has failed me for the last time.

Thanks for sharing :thumbup:
